Prairie Progressives

1. The popularity of Tim Walz has reporters flummoxed

Tim Walz holding a piglet flanked by supporters

Reporter: What -- are we expected to cover these people as "real" Americans?

2. Reporter in diner interviewing guy in a Harris-Walz t-shirt: You're from a small midwestern town... and you're pro-choice and pro-union?

Diner guy: You've been hanging out in the wrong diners, buddy.

3. Reporter in field interviewing woman: But--but--rural folks aren't progressive!

Woman: Have you studied the history of farmers' and labor movements at all, my dude?

4. Reporter holding up MAGA hat to bearded guy: Come on -- don't you like MAGA just a teeny bit? Put on this hat and say something adorably rude.

Guy: When do I get my valorizing puff piece?

Reporter: Not until you put on the hat.

Was the tree lonely, standing all by itself on the hillside, with nary a tree friend beside it?

I don't think so. There was the grass, bushes growing amongst it, the distant forest, the surrounding hills, and all the small animals that stopped to take rest in the tree's shade.

There was always someone to talk to. And then there was that view . . .

When painting this abstract landscape painting, I had fun letting watercolor, ink and water flow and playing with the expressive color contrast between the bold red of the barn and the bright greens of the landscape.

One of my favorite ways to begin a day is with the question, "So, what do you want to do today?"

Not enough days begin that way, since generally, the things that need to be done have already announced themselves, but on those days when there are no obligations, it's my favorite question to ask.

Not that long ago, it was cold, and we shivered when we went outside without a coat.

Not too many weeks from now it will be hot, and we'll hold the glass of iced tea against our face as we think about snow . . .

To watch a storm brewing, slowly unfolding, you need an unimpeded view of the sky -- no buildings in the way. And that's what you find in a large field with mountains and trees in the distance.

Watch the wind whip its way through the clouds, stirring them up, pushing them about, piling them up, getting ready for the big show.

Oh, sleepy summer day. I don't really feel like being busy and efficient, powering through like a machine to keep the profits up for those corporations who tap into my energy and time.

Nature's lazing about in the heat, resting, keeping cool in the heat.

I think I'll let her by my "Influencer" today.

Spring and autumn are unpredictable and capricious -- you never know if the day will be warm or cold, calm or blowsy.

But summer . . . you wake up and know that the day will be warm, then warmer, then hot, because that's what summer is: sleepy and quiet, the landscape resting under the season's heat. As we can, too.

A stroll through the tiny #village of #Roßbach, part of #Naumburg, for #TrainTrackTuesday. It belongs to Germany's northernmost wine-growing region, Saale-Unstrut, by the way. (Global warming: "One of the northernmost wine regions in Europe? D'uh. Hold my wine glass!")

We weren't there for the wine though, but for a birthday party.

A photograph taken from a low angle, looking along a curved railway track. The single track is set on a gravel and concrete bed, with grass and weeds growing between the sleepers. The rusted metal rails curve away into the distance towards the top left of the frame. On either side of the track, there is unkempt green vegetation and tall grass. In the background, under a cloudy, grey sky, a small village with red-roofed houses and a large green tree is visible, suggesting a rural or suburban setting.
