In this time of strife and emotional turmoil, we must stop pointing fingers and judging others. Who are we to decide that one life is worth more than another? It may sound trite: We must practice peace in the face of violence, demonstrate love where where is hate. Not in some grandiose gesture, but in our everyday lives, in the workplace, in our homes, even here on this website. Our goals should include being peacemakers. |
You're as naive as me! Not all hope seems lost for the US. |
So how do you plan to celebrate Independence Day? My city and county are doing nothing. A nearby community is celebrating Sat. June 30 with a parade and fireworks, outdoor music. A small town nearby on the James River will actually observe the 4th with a 9 am parade, farmers markets, flea markets. That night I plan to go to my niece's farm for a cookout and fireworks with the children. |
I am looking forward to seeing the strawberry moon on Friday. I've never noticed one before. |
Full moons are always cool, but I think the strawberry part is just a name to indicate that it happens in June since June is linked to strawberries. |
🌞GeminiGem 🌻 - I'm sure; but I like my idea better! I wonder whether there's a gif with a moon over a strawberry-banana sundae? |
KÃ¥re Enga in Montana - It is a very a-peeling idea, Kare! Sounds like a challenge for those who like to play with those AI apps. |
I have heard of falling flat on my face. Today, while puttering in the back yard and trying to get away from a bee, I fell flat and hard on my cheek bone. The bee got me while I was down and crying like a baby. Tonight I have deep purple eye, a cut eyelid and a wounded ego. |
I've done that but I would sprain my ankles sometimes especially when I try to get away from a bee and Dottie would go after my shoelaces in the meantime. I hope you get better soon. |
Oh man, that's harsh. I hope you have a speedy recovery. I remember when I lived up in the mountains, I slipped on the ice and fell flat on my back. It knocked the breath out of me. My Border Collie came over and laid down on my chest, all 45 pounds of her. It didn't help me regain my breath but there wasn't much I could do about it at the time. |
