In my quest to escape from the insanity of this country, I asked Sophie if she would be willing to be my model for a photo session. A chance to get outside? She was in.
She’s a bit of a free spirit and refused to wear shoes.
I think she wants something from me. Money? To accompany her somewhere? Candy?
These girls are a wonderful source of support and fun and escape, and boy, do I need it right now.
My new weed whacker/trimmer arrived the other day. I put it together yesterday and went outside to do some work before it got too hot, but the battery wasn’t fully charged. Drat! So this morning, I’ll head out there do some much needed clean up.
It’s very hot here this weekend, so any work has to be done early in the day.
My sister, who is an occupational therapist and works with small children, knows the system in a way most of us don’t. She wrote an extraordinary post about the Supreme Court/Roe v Wade decision and what being pro-life should really mean. (She’s pro-choice, as well.) I urge you to read it. You can find it here. It’s an eye-opener.
Messaged back and forth with a Russian friend from the Blythe community this morning. She was shocked at the decision made by SCOTUS. I asked her if abortion was legal in Russia. The answer? Yes. She said that there are many things that are wrong in Russia, many things she disagrees with. But in the case of abortion, Russian women have more rights than we do.
Okay. I have to get going.
Stay safe.
Happy Sunday.
