So much fun to read, Julie! Especially love Abigail Adams, she was pretty cool for 1776—“…we are determined to foment a Rebellion”. Let’s modernize it in honor of John Lewis: Foment good trouble!
I did a bunch of research a few years ago on our constitution and the environment. Including counting certain words -- which is how I know that "she" never appears, not once. Neither do "nature" or "environment." Vermont Law is a great program!
OMG! I am still laughing. Ruefully, but laughing. This is great, Julie. You could write a graphic book on the dialog behind our founding documents. It would inspire kids to learn from history, I think. Blessings to you from more than halfway across the continent.

Here’s to good trouble! Glad you enjoyed it, Lor.
P.S. Thanks for the connection to vjel.vermontlaw.edu, particularly their Top 10 Environmental Watchlist!

I’m glad you enjoyed it, Susan. It was fun to out together. I have a video version with sound effects and everything — shared it as a note. 😊
I missed that note, but I'll look for it!
It’s now at the bottom of this post. . . .
Thank you!
Terrific, Julie. If only the men would have deferred to the wisdom of Abigail. “Sit down, John!”
Ha! He was never home anyway. Glad you enjoyed it!
So, so good. Such a great reminder that the care (or lack thereof) for women and the natural world are so entwined.
Peeling back these layers on the Founders still stuns me. Why am I surprised? It’s our country’s DNA.
Julie this is so clever and hilariously funny! Just what I needed today!
I’m glad you enjoyed it, Susie. I had fun with it. A smile is good medicine. 🥰
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Stephanie! It was fun to play.
Loved this! A needed smile this morning both for the lilies and for Abigail.
I love how sassy she is! Glad you enjoyed it.
I am simply beaming with delight, Julie. This is absolutely wonderful, and wickedly funny! Bravo! And thank you.🙏
Thanks, David. I had fun — better than the angry rant I originally envisioned. Glad you enjoyed it.
Those Victoria Lilies (aka water-platters) are wild!♥️🔥🙏
Crazy!
