He's making a list. He's checking it twice. He's looking to see if you've been naughty or nice. President Trump is coming... to town!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This guy. It's not a stretch to say he's one of the few remaining American cultural living legends. He's still with us--releasing new albums at a clip that puts artists half his age to shame--but it's worth giving him his flowers now.

When he goes, there's not going to be another Willie. The cultural machinery that helped make him no longer exists. There are younger artists as good at what they do as Willie is at what he does, but none will enjoy even close to a similar degree of widespread cultural recognition & significance.

In a year that is already proving exhausting & divisive (& it's only February!), let's take an evening to come together & appreciate something we can all agree on: the genius of Willie Nelson, one of our greatest songwriters. Come see me & a whole mess of amazing artists pay tribute to the man on Fri MAR 15 @backporchfest in Northampton MA at the @aomtheatre. Added bonus: I'll be sitting in on lap steel with the house band The Deep River Ramblers!

 

 

 

 

 

This time of year is perfect for looking up and checking out what's hiding in our trees, now that the leaves are gone, or almost gone. #DYK that those leafy clumps that sometimes look like stuck leftovers could actually be prime real estate? Squirrels whip up cozy nests that look just like that, called dreys! 🐿️🍂

Did you also know that a squirrel's drey is not just a simple nest? These intricate structures can be quite elaborate, often made from twigs, leaves, and even bits of moss. Squirrels will typically build their dreys high up in the trees to stay safe from predators. They’re also known to line the inside with soft materials like fur and feathers to create a warm and snug environment. Talk about a furry little home sweet home! 🏡✨ #WildlifeWonders #cozyvibes

 

 

 

 

  

Mom was found dead, hit on the road. Her babies were still alive. The human mom who got them thought of and made this bottle herself and it saved their lives.

Today they are growing well with lots of love. Animals have feelings and soul

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

Julia Roberts, recently talked about her age and why she looks older than many contemporary artists who want to keep looking young.

“I am aging with dignity, humor, and serenity..

I don't resort to lifting or Botox and I know by Hollywood standards I'm risking my career. If they don't want to give me a role because I look old, it means I produce the project and I choose who I want. The important thing is not to take this job too seriously.

I know a lot of moms struggling to make ends meet: those are the serious problems, those are the women I admire, who are beautiful and good even when everything is hard. Honestly, I have other fears...

I fear for my children, that I cannot protect them from anyone who wants to take advantage of them.. It's more important for me to be well and make my family live well..

I'm blessed and I appreciate all that I have!. I’m thankful for my husband and kids everyday. For this reason, for me the most important moments of the day are never the ones I spend on set, but the ones I have at breakfast because we talk about everything...

It's a magical moment. "

How beautiful it is to be planted in the Earth and live it to the fullest without the frivolity of marketing.

We are valuable because of who we are, not how we look!!!.

The Mackinac Bridge

 

The Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the Straits of Mackinac, connecting the Lower Peninsula of Michigan to the Upper Peninsula. It is one of the most iconic landmarks in Michigan and one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, with a total length of 26,372 feet (5 miles). The bridge is a critical transportation link, serving as part of Interstate 75 (I-75), and is often referred to as "Big Mac."

The Mackinac Bridge was completed in 1957 and has become a symbol of Michigan's geography and history. The bridge features two main towers that rise 552 feet above the water, supporting cables that span a distance of 3,800 feet between the towers. The total length of the bridge, including its approach spans, is about 26,000 feet.

The bridge connects the city of St. Ignace in the Upper Peninsula to Mackinaw City in the Lower Peninsula. The Mackinac Bridge Authority manages the bridge, which also has a toll for vehicles crossing from the Lower Peninsula to the Upper Peninsula (though it is free to travel in the opposite direction).

Notable for its stunning views and engineering, the Mackinac Bridge is a vital transportation route, especially for tourists heading to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, as well as for local residents and industries. It's also famous for its annual Mackinac Bridge Walk, where thousands of people cross the bridge on foot, typically on Labor Day.

Gray Wolves

 

So far this season, 87 Gray Wolves have been killed in Montana. As a keystone species, wolves are vital for maintaining ecological balance. They regulate prey populations, support biodiversity, and even influence vegetation growth.

Not only do the hunts disrupt ecosystems, weaken wolf pack structures, and jeopardize the recovery of these social animals, but wolf hunts have also been shown to be ineffective at reducing livestock depredation.

It’s time to challenge outdated narratives and embrace coexistence through nonlethal deterrents. Wolves are not trophies—they’re essential to the health of our ecosystems.

Join #TeamWolf in advocating for science-based policies and the protection of these incredible animals. 

Slow down be alert,

 

Slow down be alert, save a life it’s rutting season for deer and November and December is their most active months.

Some things to keep in mind when driving -

**Deer are most active from sunset to midnight and shortly before and after sunrise - drive with extra caution at these hours.

**If you see one deer, there are likely more.

**Brake firmly when you see a deer in your path, but stay in your lane. Don't veer. Check fences and take down sporting nets when not in use .

I’m thankful for my bed ♥️

Yesterday my daughter Grace was packing up to head back to her home after spending Christmas with me and she looked into my bedroom and said, “Do you do that everyday?” I replied, “Do what everyday?” She said, “Make your bed and put all those pillows on there?” I said, “Yes i do.”

“Why, she responded, you are the only one who see’s your bed?”

“Oh dear I make my bed every morning because it’s a gift that I get to open at the end of everyday. A gift that not everyone has. So while I’m wrapping my bed in the morning and I’m unwrapping it at night I’m reminded of what a great blessing my bed really is in my life.”

When we stop viewing what we have as little, insignificant or not enough, then we get to see what we do have as gifts we get to enjoy, great blessings in our lives and provision for our needs.

I’m thankful for my bed ♥️
