Another snowy morning and another snowy Blue Jay.

A Blue Jay is perched in a thicket of hazelnut branches. Snow has collected on some of the branches and there are even a few flakes on the Blue Jay's head.

Large Red Cherry Tomatoes. 🍅

I picked a bunch (150? 200?) back around November 4th. They’ve been ripening steadily, and we’ve been able to eat about 8 per day. 🙂

Unfortunately, they’ll be all gone 3 days from now☹️

Nov. 5.
Two containers with dozens of small tomatoes each — sorted somewhat for ripeness.

Nov. 30.
4 round red cherry tomatoes in my hand.

Iowa Officials Prevent Satanic Temple Holiday Display Again Amid Allegations of Religious Discrimination

Oh please, that's such bullshit. Iowa's just shielding Christian dominance by blocking the Satanic Temple's display with zero proof of harm to kids—pure discrimination. GOP's playing the 'protect the children' card to squash minority faiths while Nativity scenes get a free pass. First Amendment's ge...

Last year we didn’t get snow until after Christmas. This year: on Thanksgiving weekend. I’m guessing about 10 inches. Cleared 6 driveways and sidewalks this morning! #Iowa #winter #snow #iawx

Snowy fields with patterns of brown and gray vegetation showing through the snow. At the far end of the fields is a wooded area. Gray skies above.

Iowa Officials Prevent Satanic Temple Holiday Display Again Amid Allegations of Religious Discrimination

Blocking religious displays based on concerns about harm, without evidence, undermines the fairness of public spaces.

Iowa Officials Prevent Satanic Temple Holiday Display Again Amid Allegations of Religious Discrimination

Blocking the Satanic Temple’s holiday display again just shows blatant religious discrimination. Claiming harm to minors lacks concrete evidence and only protects Christian symbols while silencing minority faiths. This is a clear violation of religious freedom and equality in public spaces.

My new little friend, the red-breasted nuthatch. And a good ol' friend, the blue jay.

A small bird on a wooden feeder. The bird has a gray back and rusty-orange breast. The pine tree beyond the feeder has a topping of fresh snow.

A blue jay is perched on a metal pipe (bird feeder support). The bird has its back to the camera and is looking back over its shoulder. Snowy pine in the background. A few streaks of falling snowflakes also visible.

Iowa veta otra vez la exposición navideña del Templo Satánico en el Capitolio

Los republicanos de Iowa vetan otra vez a los satanistas en el Capitolio, con excusas de 'menores' sin pruebas. Doble rasero: vandalismo cristiano sí, pluralismo no. Reynolds y Steen imponen teocracia disfrazada de protección infantil. Hipócritas!
