Inspired by my annual holiday drive from Minnesota to Chicagoland, over the river and through the woods of Wisconsin. Lovely when we get snowy winters like this one ( as long as you avoid the storm)

In Norse mythology, the woodpecker is primarily associated with the god Thor, god of thunder and lightning. The connection stems from the bird's characteristic hammering, which is thought to mimic the sound of thunder or the striking of Thor's magic hammer.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Quilt, 60”x75”
Followup to yesterday‘s post. Second memory quilt from my dad’s shirts. This was for my sister. I did not quilt this one, I took it to a pro. Very simple design, came together fairly quickly.

An ode to Odette, our local Astoria swan, seen here on a foggy day last May 🦢
She usually resides further south along the shore, so a visit from her up near the bridges is always a treat.

It doesn’t matter what it is — groceries, housing, health care, Christmas gifts — Donald Trump’s economic policies are making things more expensive.
No amount of BS from the President last night will change that.
