#GoodMorning from the #Berkshires, where, having fulfilled my Mother's Day duties, I have just booked a ticket home this afternoon. I can't trust myself in a house with this many baked goods, cheeses, and homemade meatballs during cutting season.

The landscape is beginning to green up and some flowers are popping in the woods. Soon it will truly be spring.

The image depicts a natural scene with a focus on a cluster of daffodils in the foreground. The daffodils have bright yellow centers and white petals, standing out against the brown, dry leaves covering the ground. The leaves are scattered and appear to be from various trees, indicating a forest floor setting. In the background, there are bare branches and a large log, suggesting a wooded area. The lighting is bright, indicating a sunny day. The daffodils are surrounded by green shoots, hinting at new growth. The overall composition highlights the contrast between the vibrant flowers and the muted tones of the surrounding environment.

"PITTSFIELD — Immigration authorities have released a city man who was arrested last month w/his brother at their landscaping job site in Monterey shortly after dropping off their children at school.

He has returned to the #Berkshires, according to the coworker, Shane Engel. Apparently his asylum application was successful." #Massachusetts

Thinking about adding a #dog to your family? We and several of our coalition partners are waiving adoption fees next week for all dogs aged one and older! Across 10 shelters, we’re hoping to rehome at least 100 #dogs during the week long event, which we're calling Big Dog Energy 1/

A lab mix named Huey Lewis lays outside on some brownish grass at Berkshire Humane, where he's available to adopt fee-free during the event. He's tan with low ears. There's a blue shark plushy toy between his front paws and he's looking to the side of the camera

Tatum is a one year old german shepherd available to adopt fee free during the event at the Worcester Animal Rescue League. He's standing in a little bit of standing water on a muddy field and looking at the camera playfully with a tennis ball in his mouth. He's wearing a red leash thats on the ground.

“One of the concerns is they have taken people with valid work permits. They have taken people in retaliation for not sharing information about other coworkers and colleagues. Unfortunately, that's fostering a lot of fear in the community.”

Cat-sitting in the #Berkshires this week, and since the beasties have been fed, had their water changed, their robo-litterbox emptied, and are now curled up sleeping by the fireplace, it feels like a good time for THREE GOOD THINGS™️!

🐱 This robot litterbox is really something.

⛰️ Peace and quiet in the mountains.

Spring is very slow this year in the #Berkshires of western #Massachusetts. But there are definitely tiny little green hints here and there.

Tonight and tomorrow we're expecting snow, probably no accumulation. Two steps forward one step back is still forward motion with a little wiggle in between.
