A first for me - basic pickles! These 3 cukes are from my container plants. Arthritis put an end to my 10x10 plot several years ago. Still having gardening fun! Stay tuned for the taste test.
Should have posted on Earth Day. No matter. Applies every day. 🌎Recent MKR Society conf reminded me of that & of how much I appreciate MKR's emphasis on human connection to the land. She didn't sugarcoat nature. You find all sides of it in her books. #realflorida#books#reading
Pete and I had a great view of the Artemis2 launch this evening from DeLand Airport. The clicking in the background is Pete firing off his cameras. GodSpeed, Integrity! #nasa#artemis2#orion#integrity#moon
Do you love the real Florida? Check out the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Society conference in April. It takes place in DeLand this year. The MKR Society celebrates the author of The Yearling, Cross Creek & her love for Florida's land and people. https://t.co/LO56eTXm0g
Binge-watch 2024 limited series Franklin now because of global situation, polarized U.S., nation's 250th. Focuses on his diplomatic efforts to gain French support. Diplomacy on world stage never pretty. But interesting? Yes. https://t.co/LlKYFN0j0J #benjaminfranklin

I share this every year but it's so worth it. 15 years old and still fabulous. What a chorus of voices. (Funny to remember, too, when flash mobs were a thing.) https://t.co/JQNHl3H1RS
Happy 250th Birthday, Jane Austen! My fave author, born Dec. 16, 1775. Her sister created this drawing of her. One reason I'm such a fan: different meanings emerge from Austen's novels when you read them at different phases of life. #janeausten#austen#ja250#janeausten250
A startup I support (alternative to Goodreads and Amazon) lets people share their top 3 reads of each year (Oct. through Sept). It's hard to pick just 3 but here are my 2025 picks: https://t.co/gStQExbCEm
Volusia County Council has dropped $611, 758 in local cultural arts grants (total $$ shared by 32 orgs). Meanwhile, the Council spent $4.6 million on land for a motocross facility nobody officially requested. https://t.co/9oEjbkwB9f
I'll never forget Jane Goodall's lecture at Stetson University. She entered the packed Edmunds Center and let the applause die down without saying a word. Then she did her famous chimpanzee vocalization "hello." Stunning. RIP. https://t.co/hTj3OXguto via @dbnewsjournal
Previously undiscovered 9/11 media is still surfacing decades after 2001. Read about how 9/11 Media Preservation Group is helping save and share these photos and videos. #always-remember #neverforget #9/11 #september11 https://t.co/pJnT88ufTT
Pope Francis has taught us how to respond to political hatred 👇
“At a time when various forms of fundamentalist intolerance are damaging relationships between individuals, groups and peoples, let us be committed to living and teaching the value of respect for others, a love capable of welcoming differences, and the priority of the dignity of every human being over his or her ideas, opinions, practices and even sins.” -Fratelli Tutti 191
With these words of the Formula of Canonization, Pope Leo XIV officially proclaimed Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis saints of the Catholic Church.
Honestly why am I still watching #ProjectRunway when I just get more & more annoyed. Judges too lame to do their job? So they throw it on the designers? 👎 Ugh. And I was already disgusted at the cliffhanger tactic.
