Birdhouse in a tree, upfitted with a metal fitting at entry to foil squirrels.
Squirrels had chewed the entry opening larger on my birdhouse, so I fixed 'em by putting in a bathroom sink drain fitting. It's just the right size for a chickadee, bluebird or tufted titmouse.

" '... If you put an end to oppression, to every gesture of contempt, and to every evil word; if you give food to the hungry and satisfy those who are in need, then the darkness around you will turn to the brightness of noon.' " - Isaiah 58:9-10
Sad to see America fall this far. Wake up!

Blowing snow off my driveway today.
Paper labeled "Marinated Tender Cactus Sliced" grocery can
This canned cactus was donated to our rural Midwest food pantry. Haven't seen this around here before. Guessing "Tender Cactus" is easier to swallow than the spiney kind? 😉
The photo in this post and mine is aimed toward the East and is actually the sunrise, not sunset. The shape of the mittens tell the story.
Pink cloud sunset reflected in smooth lake
Sunset tonight in my backyard. Peaceful here a million miles from ICE and Venezuela.
Graffiti of a 1960s car sprayed on a railroad car designed for hauling newly built automotive cars
Classic 1960s car graffiti artwork on a U.P. Autorack railroad car. 95% of railroad graffiti is stylized lettering, so this is something notable. #unionpacific #railroad #graffitiart
Sheep and donkeys at a live Christmas nativity scene
Merry Christmas
Electric Christmas tree and nativity scene in front of a rural home
Got this Christmas tree at a rummage sale. Knew it would light but didn't notice the base was broken. I modified it to mount on an old disc brake rotor. #christmas
Current backyard situation while walking our dog this evening
I have a very bad feeling about this...
Skeletons on a Zipline Halloween display
Neighbor up the road has this skeleton Zipline in his yard. #halloween
So glad both anthems were done so well. The human flags were both awesome. So much better than the bitter divisiveness coming out of the White House.

No Kings protest with a T-Rex character
Had a great time protesting in the rain at my rural county's courthouse.
Protest sign with American flag: "Love USA, No Kings since 1776 No Fascism"
I'll be at my County Courthouse tomorrow with this sign I made today.
How I feel in a group of MAGA relatives.

A few days after Brian Kilmeade suggested “involuntary lethal injection,” two separate mass shootings targeted homeless encampments in Minnesota, injuring at least a dozen people. Yet Jimmy Kimmel is indefinitely suspended.
Antique container of "Atomic Car Wash" powder with a graphic of 1950 auto.
"Atomic Speedy Auto Wash" seemed like a good idea 75 years ago.
Giant muskie fish that you can climb inside at a fishing museum in Hayward, WI
That's me in the mouth of the giant muskie at the Freshwater Fishing Museum in Hayward, Wisconsin #fishing #travel #wisconsin
Printing a candidate's name, slogans and picture on the flag is desecration in my opinion. Beating a police officer with the pole of an American flag in an insurrection is much worse than burning.

Trump Logic: In a carjacking in progress, Trump police arrive. They propose a swap. You give the perpetrator your wallet and one of your kids and you can keep your car. Shouldn't we be 100% on the side of the victim and not 80% for the criminal?
Probably couldn't get by with this now.
