No more national parks?

I just signed a petition telling Congress to stop the campaign to sell off America's public lands to the highest bidder. Say no to locked gates and no trespassing signs in our public lands.

Join me and sign this petition:

Illegal water withdrawal during drought

I just signed a petition calling on the U.S. Forest Service to immediately halt Nestlé's illegal water withdrawal during California's drought. Nestlé is extracting water and making millions in profit even though its permit to do so expired over 27 years ago.

Loose Pigs?

This has been a wacky month in Lexington. First a bull ran loose on UK campus and now pigs are wandering from yard to yard...

Happy First Birthday, Asher!

We at the Garden are so happy to see our littles growing and having happy times.
Many blessings to Asher and his family on this wonderful occasion.

"They" formally used as a gender-neutral pronoun

As you can see, I have been bouncing around the entertainment news this morning. It is one of those things in which I occasionally take guilty pleasure.

Whilst browsing about this morning, I found an article with this editor note:

"This article uses "they" as a gender-neutral, singular pronoun in an effort to respect the young Jolie-Pitt's gender identity, whatever that may end up being."

I thought some of the gardeners would be interested in this based on our Compassionate Language presentation and discussion earlier this year.

Supercell...

Did y'all see that?  The family just came over to my apartment to sit out the storm. (Much safer than trailer.)

I hope everyone is safe, well, and still has the lights on.  We were blessed here to be passed over by the funnel clouds.

Couldn't find a picture from tonight to share, but found this one from 2009 taken in Christian County.

Easter Kitty

Ooh shiny

I totally figured out how to blog from my phone directly. Yes, they do have an app for that. B-)

This is the test post.

Ramblings and Save the Date

Greetings Programs!~

I have been in and out of late with thoughts of "I should post this or share that", but nothing seems to stick.  The funniest of these passing thoughts was to comment on the running of the bull in Lexington this past week when that poor bovine escaped the lab and ran amuk on UK campus.  

New Moon Circle had a very nice Ostara ritual and potluck.  Thank you again, Sue, for taking lead on that and doing a fantastic job.  The sacrifice of the chocolate duck was just awesome too!

Something I found today that I wanted to share was the Spring Concert of the EKU Dance Theater.  I have attended this many times in the past and just love it every time.
