It is Friday, after another geopolitical week of #fear, #turmoil & #chaos driven by #Trump’s #RevengePolitics. As such, I may be guilty of endeavoring to cleanse both my heart/mind/timeline.

[Last year at this time I posted hourly #BabySquirrel (click) updates. Thankfully–for them–none have need rescuing yet]
Time for another #JackieAndShadow & #Eaglets #TLcleanse

America’s butterflies are disappearing, and with them, a fragile balance in our ecosystems. Nature’s alarm bells are ringing—are we listening? #Conservation
Both Momma & Papa pitching in, though I’m not entirely sure Shadow is “helping” per se.
