I'm new here. Here's my #introduction. 🌱

My name is Mim; I live in a tiny apartment in a tiny village amongst the fields and farms of rural #Nebraska.

I love sewing, drawing, playing the piano, baking, and crafting. I'm doing the #OdinProject with my daughter to refresh and relearn web development, the newest challenge in my life.

I believe in #manners, #creativity, #honesty, #positivity, #humor, #kindness, and #imagination.

I look forward to meeting you! 🌱

Farmer from Nebraska in emergency camp for migratory workers during pea harvesting says "I put mine in what I thought was the best investment -- the good old earth--but we lost on that, too. The finance company caught up with us, the mortgage company caught up with us. Managed to lose twelve thousand dollars in three years. My boys have no more future than I have so far as I can see ahead." He had been on the road a little less than a year. Calipatria, Imperial County, California

Right now, the Sandhill Cranes are moving back to fields adjacent to the Platte River. At and just after sunset, they'll fly from those fields into the Platte to overnight. I watched them last Monday & Tuesday evening, and it was mighty impressive. We're past peak, but you can still see and hear flocks fly in the distance. It should get better around 8pm CDT. I'll post some of my own vids from last week soon. In the meantime, #CraneCam is good to watch right after sunset when the cranes come in; and just after sunrise when they slowly leave the river.

"I scoured the news for reports on the more than one thousand other rallies. Of course people would show up in the big cities & the bluest places, but what really exhilarated me was to see the turnout in reddest America--#Utah, #Nebraska, #Missouri, #Indiana, #Iowa, #Idaho--and small communities not known for their #protests...

some early estimates say well over three million people showed up."
