I had one last zucchini on the vine, so - chocolate chip zucchini bread and zucchini pancakes for dinner. (all gluten free of course). #AvoidingTheNews
Interesting article in The Guardian: Why more and more people are tuning the news out: ‘Now I don’t have that anxiety’ buff.ly/gitKuPR #NoNews #NewsAvoidance #AvoidingTheNews #TheGuardian
Staying off the news this week (which is a first for me in years), though it can't be avoided altogether with using social media.
But my fortitude is at a low ebb, so for the sake of my brain, no doom scrolling this week. Fluffy stuff only. As you were.

This is a dark pink, brown, and white bird known as a Purple Finch. In this image the Purple Finch sits among bare branches. Nothing very green to see as spring has just begun.
More bird migrations today - a sweet flock of Purple Finches stopped by the bird feeders today.

Welcome to Day 28 of #AvoidingTheNews by diving into other things that pique my curiosity. I’ve joked about this with friends for years, but is now the time to explore more housing opportunities like this?
Started with this album, then added a touch of Sergio Mendes and a sprinkle of Burt Bacharach for a nice, mellow new background station on this, Day 27 of #AvoidingTheNews.
It’s that time of year!!
Happy Day 22 of #AvoidingTheNews
This album was released a few days after my ninth birthday; it was a mainstay in our home for years, and today starts the soundtrack of Day 21 #AvoidingTheNews
I turned off election night coverage on November 6 and have been #AvoidingTheNews ever since. Now on Day 20, I’m breaking out my all-time favorite read, a masterpiece by @stephenking.bsky.social. Should I take y’all on the journey from Ogonquit to Vegas?
A bit over seven hours until my @detroitlions.bsky.social play; I’ll while away the hours on Day 19 of #AvoidingTheNews with this, perhaps my all time favorite.
#AvoidingTheNews Day 17 by checking the progress of the salmon run up the newly de-damed Klamath.
Being curious is a blessing, particularly on Day 16 of #AvoidingTheNews. Today, it’s some fun and vital reading about the Great Lakes Compact. It protects my friends
@lakemichigan13.bsky.social and @lakesuperior.bsky.social, the best of the world’s largest system of surface fresh water.
