My weekend trip to the desert included a stop at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Preserve, where the poppies were finally out, if not in superbloom mode

If everyone looked at them the way I do would you still call it a weed?

Removal of NEPA destroys almost all environment protections in the United States. If you were worried they will destroy the National Parks for profit, rest assured this is the first step. By removing NEPA, they *will be able to*. Easily.

We have only six more days to comment about the looming removal of NEPA: National Environmental Policy Act. This act was a simple yet very effective framework for protecting our environment and has far and wide reaching positive effects. It is often called the "Magna Carta" of our environment laws. NEPA was one of the first laws ever written that establishes the broad national framework for protecting our environment. For example, sewage treatment to ensure clean water is a direct result from NEPA. It was signed into law by Nixon, and has enjoyed bipartisan support.

Stumbled across this older photo and found it very pleasing to my eye. I hope you find it so, as well.

Daisies don't just bloom in spring - they delight our hearts all year round - either in nature or on the wall...

Today’s 3 good things:

- Sowed some #wildflower seeds for the spring (thanks to @SunnJax
for the seeds, I hope I didn’t kill them!)

- Wrote some postcards to #Wisconsin voters

- Made brownies (had trouble getting them out of the pan so they turned out more like brownie wads, but were still tasty so it’s all good)
