Retired wardrobe supervisor living in the Catskills; gradually replacing invasive plants with natives on my little patch. My dogs Lily and Yogi and I have welcomed many great foster dogs. Knit and spin while listening to audiobooks and lefty podcasts
Good morning from Yogi, my sweet foster fail. Luckily there are loads of other great dogs available to adopt at tmhpetrescue.com

My two great rescue dogs, Lily has been with me almost 5 years and Yogi was my 27th foster and first foster fail. I couldn't resist him. #fosterdogs #rescuedogs

Elon Musk’s staffers have been granted access to a sensitive child support database by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The data access was approved by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., despite resistance from career employees within the department. Sorry, we tried…

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

Due to the freeze on credit card use, my laboratory (in the FDA) risks losing the contents of our liquid nitrogen tanks which store INVALUABLE samples-they cannot be replaced, so they are literally priceless, and reflect about 50 years worth of research.

My new foster girl Cherry.
A bright spot in this sea of horrors.
She can be adopted at tmhpetrescue.com

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

I came across this recent lecture by Doug Tallamy on YouTube, which includes a preview of his new book, "How Can I Help? Saving Nature with your Yard."

Hope both novice and experienced gardeners will enjoy it as much as I did. #nativeplants 🌱

My girl Lily with some of the many fosters we have hosted over the past few years. Fostering saves lives, which makes it easier to pass them on to their adoptive families.
