250 years ago today, the battle of Lexington and Concord occurred. Wonder what our forefathers would think now? My favorite line from JOHNNY TREMAIN, winner of the 1944 Newbery Medal and about the outbreak of said battle, is from James Otis as he's questioning all of the patriots as to why they were fighting: “We give all we have, lives, property, safety, skill...we fight, we die, for a simple thing. Only that a man can stand up.” #resist ✊🏻💙✊🏻
Protested with my mama today.

Today I feel spring around the corner- reached 71 today. I feel exhilaration after attending a protest in Hartford, always coffee, the “ Robert Tree” our Magnolia is starting to bloom, kitties, tonight‘s sunset, Litsy friends, the ocean at Banks Street Beach, Harwich Port,Cape Cod,books!, my first porch day with coffee & a book, sisters, hummingbirds yet to visit my garden. #hope #joy #love #gratitude #resist #nature #moodboardcontest #mbc
Spent #chatterday at Hartford‘s Capitol building joining in the National protests. #protest #democracy #resist 🇺🇸🇺🇸 ☕️
A wee gloat. The country's gone to shit, but at least this. Maybe I'll even buy a lottery 🎟️.

My husband, youngest son and I traveled to DC this weekend to participate in the Hands Off protest there. Current estimates at the moment are that 5 million people attended more than 1,400 protests around the world today. Keep the momentum going! We are the people—and we have the power! #resist
Whether you peacefully march, call & write letters to Congress, boycott, educate, donate to civil rights groups &/or provide childcare, thank you for however you resist, American bookworms! #handsofflibraries #handsoffschools #resist

Funny, isn't it? That there are 50 white stripes on a 🟦 background? And only 13 🟥 stripes on the white background? #interesting 🧐 That's only 26% 🟥 but 74% 🟦. Do you think we both symbolically chose 2 💙💙 and only ♥️? Also interesting that the ♥️ is in the middle. 🧐 Yeah ... first and last drink for the night. #mondaynightponderings 🤣 1w
