And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Richard Ahnert - The Other Side, 2025 - Oil on canvas
Fantastically realistic.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, that's sad.
ReplyDeleteYes, to both of the above.
ReplyDeleteBut why doesn't the swing have snow on it?
Melted off during the day.
DeleteUsed to, but the cat's butt melted it and it refroze. Look on the left side of the swing seat.
DeleteThe (boy?) cat on the swing is begging the (girl?) cat in the house: Come outside and swing with me!
ReplyDeleteNo need to fear. The way the left is going both cats will be outside and there'll be no utilities going to the house.
ReplyDeleteGreat!
ReplyDeleteXcellent!
ReplyDeleteThe indoor cat is a female in heat. Males don't simply give up.
ReplyDeleteThe cat is waiting until the homeowner gets comfortable, really comfortable, before meowing to be let in.
