"For too long this administration has presented itself as the only defender of Christianity while it engages in merely symbolic gestures like posting Bible verses or publicizing worship services in the White House. Frederick Douglass described this type of performance: “Religion simply as a form of worship, an empty ceremony, and not a vital principle, requiring active benevolence, justice, love and good will towards man.” I fail to see how you can shout glory to God one minute and laugh about the harsh conditions of Alligator Alcatraz the next."

We just had an eclipse - were you somewhere in the Pacific to see it? Oh well, more will come. It reminded me of these amazing antique astronomy lithographs I found last year. They came from school books printed in the UK in the 1910’s and have loads of amazing graphics to explain things like “Parralax” and “Refraction,” and other dazzling celestial events. Find them in my Etsy Shop! https://hellosugar63.etsy.com/listing/1805278727

Hello Everyone! Hey Hey! I have a wee little story about what I learned working with Mark and Madgie in April's Florist Review! Yea! And I mean "wee," my IG photos simply refused to enlarge. So it's a pity that the pic of Madgie McGaughan is so hard to see, but trust me she looks like Freyja, Norse Goddess of the Harvest every time she comes out of the field ❤️🌱🌷
And thanks to the UHmazing Debra Prinzing for letting me tell my tale. Enjoy!

a loooooong time ago in a midwest galaxy far far away, a tall dude brought me a bunch of red tulips. Not roses. Tulips. It was so unexpected and unpretentious - full of affection and cheer. At least that's how I saw it but I may have already fallen for the tall guy with the tulips. But still, Young Valentine's, it never hurts to have the unexpected.
Come see our tiny tulip treasures Monroe Street Market TODAY - noon to 7:00 pm and find something to surprise your Tweetheart ❤️🌷❤️
