Re: voting. 🗳️ A friend for 40 yrs said her daughter (early 30’s-ish) asked if politics was “this bad” when friend and I were growing up. Friend said “yes—it’s always been bad.” I staunchly disagreed. Please tell me if I’m wrong to think—it was NEVER like this. It’s insanity now!

More important than ever in our lives to vote! My friend’s argument was: we had to deal w/ nuclear threats. I responded: we still do. But now, it’s so dirty and no one complies with the Constitution or reasonable laws. 🤦‍♀️. People MUST vote now! To protect Democracy!

🌱. I have these rabbit foot ferns from a neighbor who went into assisted living. Would welcome any advice re: what to do when it gets cold old! They’ll have to come inside but—I don’t have a garage or a space to adequately water them.

Anyone else experiencing this? The other night, pup and I were in bed for sleep. Suddenly, a loud announcement for “Jiffy Lube Oil Change!” Out of nowhere! We both jumped out of our skins! There’s no Amazon Alexa here—but I’d left my laptop on! The source of the announcement!

This baloney is scary as hell! Why announce? We drive electric cars. (Neither Tesla). So, now—my laptop is speaking out for no reason?

🔥 OBAMA: “The thing is, Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons — because I put a deal in place he pulled out of… and the war he started is why the price of everything is UP… how much time do you think Hegseth spends looking at himself in the mirror? These are not serious people.”

🔥 OBAMA: “Trump should be on HGTV. He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory…. He’s clearly not focused on lowering prices for you.”

🌱. I put on self-adhesive fake eyelashes today to garden. It’s the only time I can wear them properly. And they don’t fall off. I like to think the plants appreciate that I dress up for them! (Bc they totally dress up for me!!)

🌱remember when I told you “roundup Randy” came over and chainsawed my maple and my tulip poplar? Well, I was just out working in the garden bc peonies have a “blight”—and one of my fave neighbors stopped by. She asked abt the trees and I told her. She’s not happy.

So the trees are growing back even stronger! And she’s pleased bc she loved the look! She’s lived here 48 yrs; “round-up” has been here for 2. He calls her group “the old ladies who don’t know what they want.” I’m just bitching. They know what they like!

🌱. Finally, finally, the heavenly blue morning glories have bloomed! (When did it become so hard to get morning glory blooms?)

Yall!! We just saw one ☝️ of the 6 Oscar Meyer weiner mobiles outside our lunch! A crowd quickly gathered! The drivers were absent! But it was amazing to me, how many people stopped for pics!

I met a jeep woman who had all the ducks and we traded: her hair tie had broken so—I gave her my scrunchie and she gave us a purple and spotted duck for the car dash!

I had some time to kill today, and stopped by Lowe’s. (Didn’t get anything). But love the little birds demonstrating the birdbaths! 🥰

🌱. What do you all do with Boston Ferns at the end of season when they’re really creating the “haunted house” (dying) vibe? Last year, I was able to save one and we made it through the winter! At one point this summer, it flourished. I’ll bring IT back inside. The others look too far gone.

🌱. I can finally post to “thick trunk” Tuesday! I don’t know where to begin abt the Cotswolds adventure. But thank you, Joe Seals for suggesting we visit! It was everything I wanted to feel, know, see, touch, hear! More to come…

We have had the best time in the Cotswolds! I’m trying to think whether I should curate my posts or just blab it all with no theme! First—our home base:
