The bluebird fledglings are getting huge and their flying is better. Baby sat on the hammock while dad flew back and forth from the mealworm feeder. Mom is getting a second nest started in our other bluebird box. ❤️
It's alive! It's ALIVE! I fixed a sprinkler head yesterday and it's actually working. 😊

http://www.businessinsider.com/china-soybean-imports-from-us-trade-war-trump-tariffs-2018-5 China is about to destroy American farming. We will have no social programs for farmers to fall back on either. Remember when Carter embargoed the Russians? And Argentina was more than happy to sell red wheat? There are whole continents happy to sell and trade with China. So happy to see the state dept being replaced by the military. WTH are they waiting for? This has been my freak out for this morning. FREAK NOT, I WILL FREAK FOR YOU ALL.

"This is madness... Bolton isn’t suddenly naive. He’s working an angle. And that angle is almost certainly misaligning the president’s expectations. Bolton won’t try to kill diplomacy by opposing it. Rather he’ll kill it by making the perfect the enemy of the good. By raising the prospects of a Libya-style surrender, the much more modest settlement offered by Kim looks sad by comparison."

Oh, ffs...
"In her first year as U.S. ambassador, the U.S. has lost support in the UN, with only 31% of States voting alongside the United States on controversial resolutions before the UN General Assembly, the lowest number since 2008, when states voted 25% of the time alongside President George W. Bush’s administration....
The voting outcome raises questions about the effectiveness of Washington’s use of threats to secure international backing for its policies."
