Forsythia branch with yellow starburst blossoms, branches and gray wall in the background

Happy Sunday!
Forsythia bursts on the scene,
Glowing yellow before it turns green,
It gives us good cheer,
Telling us spring is here,
Like a sun or a star with its beams.

How many birds die from wind turbines? Surprising findings Critics say wind turbines endanger birds but two new studies have now analysed the risk in more detail. What they have found could change the debate.

Two recent studies have re-examined risk of birds colliding with rotor blades of wind turbines.
Research found that there was not a single collision.
"The results from Aberdeen Bay show that modern offshore wind farms can be operated with low risk to wildlife."

Congress, where are you?

A stand of white daffodils with a clump of yellow ones in the middle with light brick in the background.

Happy Sunday! Lots of poetic license in this one !
These daffodils yellow and white
Sway in the spring breeze day and night
Keeping time to the tune
Of the wind’s gentle croon
Setting all of our worries aright.

White Easter lily blooms and stems with church pipe organ and cross in the background

Happy Sunday! Happy Easter to those who celebrate!
Here indoors Easter flowers do bloom
To honor One sprung from the tomb;
From bulbs or small seeds,
New blossoms proceed;
New life colors and gladdens the room.

REALLY???

CREW files IG complaint on military flyover of Kid Rock’s home - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington DOD IG should investigate DOD officials for using a military helicopter to fly over a local “No Kings” protest and the home of Kid Rock.

BREAKING: We just filed a complaint asking the Pentagon IG to investigate whether the flyover of Kid Rock's house violated any federal or DOD rules, how much taxpayer money was spent and Pete Hegseth’s decision to reverse Army personnel’s suspension.

It’s amazing. Each one is its own world

Dick Termes thinks life is a ball,
He makes art you won’t find at the mall.
His wonder-filled spheres
Turn with scenes crystal clear.
His Termespheres surely enthrall!
