Just a few things that don't fit neatly into other posts. Oat Milk It's official. I'm now using oat milk in my coffee instead of unsweetened almond milk. I decided to give oat milk a try after reading an article about the harmful effect on the environment almond milk has, especially on bees that are… Continue reading Doodads (not photos of the garden)

Doodads — Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart talk
My two favorite "comedians," that I see more as beacons of truth that also happen to be funny, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, talk a little about the revolution going on in the streets that began with the murder of George Floyd.
