Rhapsody in Blue: The US Midterm Election Results

It was more than could have been hoped for, in progressives’ wildest dreams. The Blue Tsunami continues to sweep GOP candidates before it, almost a week after Election Day, as late-reporting districts and squeaker races fall, one after another, to Democrats. At least 255 House seats, perhaps 260+ when all is said and done; at least 54 Senate seats, perhaps rising to 56; a pickup of five governorships; seven State Houses flipped from Red to Blue, and another seven where the Republican supermajorities were lost.

House Diary: All Hallows 2026

It’s that time again – spooky season! My absolute favorite time of year! All nature seems to burst with vibrant color, a last hurrah before the deathliness of winter. Days are sunny and cool, nights crisp and frosty, farmstands piled with pumpkins and gourds, and rosy-cheeked apples hang thick on the trees. As October settles in, ghosts and goblins start to appear in front yard haunts, building to a crescendo on the last day of the month – Samhain, All Hallows Eve, Halloween, the most magical, eerie, charmed night of the year.

US Midterm Elections, Part Three: This Time, It’s Gubernatorial

Political shockwaves are set to erupt in the 2026 Midterm Elections in more than just federal races – in the states, 36 governor’s mansions stand to receive new occupants. While most of these are solidly Republican or Democrat seats with little drama, eight are close enough to be contested, and you might be surprised which GOP-leaning states could be up for grabs.

“I Love Lucy” Turns 75

October 15, 1951 saw the premiere of one of the world’s most-beloved TV shows ever, when “I Love lucy” first took to the airwaves. Since that auspicious moment, seventy-five years ago, ILL has never been off the air! Syndicated globally, ILL reruns can still be found multiple times daily on various “nostalgia” cable channels, and available 24/7 on dedicated streaming platforms like Pluto TV. It never lacks an audience.

US Midterm Election Preview, Part Two: This Time, It’s Senatorial

Although, barring an Act of God or a flagrant abuse of power, a Democrat takeover of the US House of Representatives in the Midterm Elections on November 3^rd seems assured, given the mood of the country, control of the Senate is much less certain. That the Upper Chamber is in play at all is due solely to the incompetence, venality, and narcissistic focus of Donald J. Trump, who continues to spread anarchy, instability and failure to any and all who come into contact with him, regardless of Party affiliation.

Garden Glimpses: Waning Summer, Waxing Fall

Frankly, August can be a bummer in the garden. The floral exuberance of high summer is past, and autumn’s bright colors aren’t yet on the horizon. For a more traditional gardener, August presents unique challenges in finding plant material that will offer bloom, without relying on expensive annuals that need to be replaced yearly.

But for yours truly, with 60-70% of the garden populated by native perennials, the situation isn’t quite so dire. It’s taken six years, but my vision of a native meadow with continual revolving bloom is finally taking shape.
