My 4 year old son drew a picture of a imaginary bird on a branch. And a another one today. Almost exactly similar without any reference except memory and imagination. There's something I really like about it. 🤔

I have to buy better art supplies for my boys, as they really seem to be more and more interested about drawing.

My 5-yr-old loves taking pictures and videos, so we let him have Mama's almost-20-year-old digital point-and-shoot.
He thinks using the flash is cool. Our dog, we've just learned, DOES NOT: dog started acting weird like there was gonna be bad weather, but it was just that he thought the flash was lightning.

I'm so jealous of all the videos I see of dads manicuring their lawns already.

I just want to get out there and rake and over-seed and fertilize my precious lawn. Make cute little lawn stripes and then judge my neighbors for their brown, weed-infested grass.

BUT I still have piles of snow on my lawn that haven't melted away yet!

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now:

21. Research mutual aid efforts in your area. If there isn’t one near you, research how to start one. Start showing up for their meal drop offs or their trash pick-ups or whatever it is that they’re doing. Discover that it’s simpler and more fun than you imagined. When people ask you how you’re doing, say “I’m trying a new thing– I’m getting involved with ______ mutual aid, have you heard of it?”

22. If you’re a parent, send a letter to your kids school. Tell them thanks, and then ask how you can support them.

thewhitepages.netThirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly importantWhy? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

Wheeew! I've been quite silent a few days.

Hard to open up the phone/computer without getting a motherload of shit thrown at your face.

Been tinkering a lot with filters and turning notifications off.

Also been reading the the news with Lynx. 😃

I have found that going through the TO-DO list for home improvement stuff is a meditative exercise for me. Lucky for me, that list is long in my household. 😎
