Nana's heirloom Peonies are over two weeks ahead of schedule. The vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists—over 97% to 99%—agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. Multiple studies confirm that this consensus has strengthened over time, with recent research showing a >99% agreement in peer-reviewed scientific literature. #globalwarming #climatechange #humancausedclimatechange #humancausedglobalwarming #industrialwaste #industrialbyproducts #science
A Battle Royal was waged between two similar birds over the birdhouse this spring.

The attic of my childhood home was the first interior I designed.

Frank and Cousin Razzy have always gotten along great, but during this week's Play Date, they actually snuggled up, toboggan style. #dog #dogs #doglover #doglovers #dogowner #dogowners #dogfamily #dogfamilies #canine #canines #furbaby #furbabies #snuggle #snuggling #snuggles #furry #teacupyorkie #yorkie #yorkies #mutt #mutts #hound #hound #mixedhound #mixedhounds #cutenessoverload #animalsbeingfriends
I always loved reading picture books aloud to my students, and 1993's "SANTA CALLS" by William Joyce was a regular holiday feature in my classroom. What beautiful artwork! #santacalls #williamjoyce #childrensbook #childrensbooks #childrensliterature #literature #goodliterature #illustration #illustrations #art #artwork #beautifulart #painting #paintings #holiday #holidays #celebrate #celebration #reading #readingaloud #readingaloudtochildren #newyorktimes #newyorktimesbookreview

The Dame's Rocket is blooming three weeks early. An overwhelming majority of climate scientists—estimated at 97% to over 99% of actively publishing experts—agree that humans are causing recent global warming. This consensus is supported by major scientific organizations worldwide and peer-reviewed literature, with studies showing that the level of agreement increases with expertise in climate science. #science #sciencefacts #climatechange #globalwarming #humancausedglobalwarming

Enjoying a Benson & Hedges Menthol 100 with a Rum and Coke.

Midge and B-9 love the new Fifth Street views I put in their windows, after only living here three years.

My friends and I have made movies most our lives. Thrice, we've celebrated them with our own "Academia Awards Banquet." Academia is a small town in our community, where we often filmed. 1976, the Bicentennial. #makingmovies #homemovies #super8mm #reg8mm #8mm #soundmovies #kodak #kodaksoundmovies #kodaksoundmovieequipment #bicentennial #1970s #1976 #countrysanniversary #award #awards #oscar #oscars #moviedom #hollywood #hoorayforhollywood #create #creativity #creator #creators
Even though I've been an Atheist over fifty of my seventy-odd years, I still love Christmas Eve with family and friends. Non-believers are allowed to be sentimental about traditions and holidays, too. 1973. #christmas #holiday #holidays #tradition #traditions #sentimental #celebrate #christmaseve #wintersolstice #winterholidays #Yule #Dongzhi #Yalda #Soyal #Saturnalia #StLuciasDay #boxingday #atheist #atheist #atheism #goodwithoutgod #atheistsrock #family #familygathering #familyandfriends
