Fighting the good fight in Tucson, the blue bastion of Arizona. Educator, curriculum writer, supporter of science, water harvesting, the Sonoran desert, all cats & bodily autonomy. #Post-refugee #Arizona #Tucson #NoBots
I just got out 4lb of butter to do my biscotti. By popular demand I use Arizona grown pistachios. People are asking earlier this year. No pressure though, right? Last year a friend gifted me a biscotti container hint hint. This is last year but I plan to return it to him full for his birthday 12-18.

#Tucson #Posada
THIS is the spirit of Tucson! The annual Posada procession by the kids of Carrillo School through the Presidio San Agustín del Tucson. ICE may try to chip away the culture & community but we hold strong. They picked the wrong pueblo. See ALT.

I hope your birthday was as beautiful as those flowers.

Mine approves. Sleepily. 💕

That is way too cute. I'm thinking of something more like this.

I miss ours more for the terrific trips that it took us on than for the work and maintenance. It was not great to have an air cooled engine in an Arizona and Mexico climate. I still watch for it. It went to live with a Tucson antique dealer when we sold it. 💔

A friend sent me this and said she ordered a case of it. I'm not sure if she was sending me a message or what?!

#cats #birthday
My little ❤️ is 14 today. Abandoned in the desert in Pinal County, rescued by my SIL but she didn't get along with her cats so they brought her to me. She adapted nicely to life with Beto (who passed 8 years ago) and today she is 14. The years fly, hug your animals, hold them close. 💕

We all know he's a liar and a jerk and a pedophile. This is what reality is for those of us on biologics. There's a reason they call it catastrophic coverage.

#bobcat
Our bobcats have been hanging in the washes and not as near our water dishes since the weather cooled off. This was a midnight visitor early this morning.

#coyote
We put out four water dishes in the side yard and apparently the coyote didn't like the taste of the bird bath and went to one of the ground dishes. There's been a big pack in the neighborhood but this guy was solo tonight.

All I can think is they really really liked the Billy Bass look from back in the day.

Just a reminder from my grey tuxie today.

#advent 🌲
My Dream Advent Calendar: Here's the way to celebrate Advent this year, Congress. Each day one of Trump's cabinet or other awful appointees is jailed. On the 25th Trump is impeached. Of course, 25 isn't close to enough, but it's a good start.

I got one for me and four of my closest resistance friends. 😉Those of you who recall your Morse code can read this. If you don't, it's in the alt.

#Thanksgiving
Despite everything this year, still thankful for a lot. Serving my favorite canned cranberry jelly in my mom's cranberry sauce dish. Of course she always made wonderful homemade sauce with oranges and walnuts. But for some weird reason I always liked the jellied stuff. 😉

#javalina #Arizona
While I am extremely thankful for having Arizona as my home, I'm not as excited about our peccary neighbors(javelinas). Everyone calls them pigs but they're not real pigs. Anyway, this is what greeted me as I pulled in the driveway at 5pm. You can hear yell "PIG GO!" at the end.

Be still my heart!!

Beautiful and that vase is elegant. Happiest of Thanksgiving days to you. I'm thankful for all our buddies on Blue sky.

This is my new lazy person's way. Rather than chopping into tiny pieces I brown the onions, carrots and celery first. Then add peas, broth and spices and cook hitting it with an immersion blender to smooth it out and then I add the ham. It's really quick and easy and when I have no energy it works.

Angie, that is just gorgeous. Like a bouquet of flowers.

#sage
Enough sage does not exist to smudge all the bad juju out of the White House. Really starting to think that the best thing will be to burn it to the ground and start over. Perhaps today's meeting attendees and the hosts could be included?
