Beautiful! ❤ these foxes.

And I especially love little Eastern Gray tree-climbers. I almost "tamed" one last year and was most flattered when she brought her kits to see me! These Eastern Grays cat-sized cuties are quite smaller than their Red cousins and are really able to climb trees!

"I've seen airports treat luggage better than we treat animals,"

I did some fast explaining about why the Russian Prof., Krasilnikov had visited us. (Thankgoodness, they didn't see my plants.)

About time!!

What will the churches do?!

The White House and congressional intelligence committees were briefed on the scope and threat of the coronavirus in January and February, but President Donald Trump has not stopped exports of key medical equipment – a move taken by at least 54 other countries so far.
