I have not much been in the mood to commune with nature the past couple days. Mostly due to being distracted by distractions during the time frame I usually do my nature communing.
But, on this final Saturday of the third month of 2025 I made my way to Sikes Lake to join the throngs enjoying the current heat wave, with the temperature today getting into the 90s, as measured by the Fahrenheit method.
After the sun sets today a strong thunderstorm is on the weather menu.
I forgot to make mention of the foliage photo documented today at Sikes Lake. That is a Prickly Pear patch of cactus, getting near to being in bloom mode.
Subject change.
Years ago, on January 21, 2017, I drove to Sikes Lake, which, that day, was the launch location of the biggest protest march I have ever marched in.
I blogged about this in Wichita Falls January 21 Women's March.
Today, on Facebook, I read a post from Robert Reich, the former Secretary of Labor, advising those who want to take action, doing something in protest of the current state of America, to enter "April 5 demonstration near me" into whatever search engine you use.
So, I Googled "April 5 demonstration near me" and did not come up with any info about a demonstration in Wichita Falls, or near Wichita Falls. There were multiple websites about the April 5 demonstration, but nothing telling me where one near me might be.
Well, we have a week til the date of these world-wide demonstrations. I suspect something will come up, locally, before next Saturday...
