Stella's Place 
Stellars, have a wonderful Sunday in Appalachia….
“The Hidden Ecosystems of Appalachia — Rainforests, Tundra, Alpine Forests & More”
Appalachia is home to some of the most unique and diverse ecosystems in North America: including temperate rainforests, heath balds, alpine forests, and even tundra-like environments. In this video, we explore the surprising ecological diversity of the Appalachian Mountains, including:
• Heath balds (like Craggy Gardens)
• Temperate rainforests of the southern Appalachians
• High elevation alpine forests
• Tundra like ecosystems in West Virginia
• Unique wildlife, including salamanders and undiscovered species
The Appalachian Mountains are among the oldest mountain ranges on Earth, and their age, climate, and geography have created an incredible diversity of habitats, many found nowhere else.

Good mornin’, Lucille! Some of the most beautiful and interesting things to see in this area of our Country. I have a cousin who is now 70, who walked the entire trail as he was closing in on the age of 50. He said it was one of the most impactful things he has ever done. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.

Good day, Texan! That was quite an undertaking for your cousin. Good on him! Most folks I know personally would have to bring along a pack donkey carrying gear and plenty of coffee fixings.

It sure the heck is, created by Godless self indulgence. The End.
Good morning Wee, and happy Palm Sunday. It’s pot luck day after Mass, I’m looking for a recipe. The requirements are it’s easy as heck, and has few ingredients, all of which I have. It would be great if it could be delicious as well.
My youngest grandson calls it food party. 😁

Good mornin’, Miss Wee! We seem to be getting more and more mental illness in this Country, but my hope is that we’re slowing that bus down and might get it turnin’ around in the next few years.
It’s embarrassing seeing these old goats protesting nowadays. Much like the aging ballplayer who just can’t give it up yet, they hang in there hoping for one more day of glory.
But no one wants to see these old coots! Coffee’s ready, ma’am.

Morning czarina. I once had a week in Carson City. We went to Virginia City, Tahoe, Death Valley, and Napa Valley. Trips up in the Sierras. Found out that day that the highest and lowest elevations in the continental US are in one county in California. If we hadn’t been there too early for the pass to open, we’d have gone to Yosemite too. I absolutely loved the desert.
I can tell you right now, it sure never occurred to this Southerner that April, and I’m pretty sure it was late April, was too early in the year to drive somewhere. As a matter of fact, I never knew until then that we still have passes that are closed to travel in the winter. Never thought about it.
I’d never be interested in Vegas, but I would love to go back to that area to vacation because if you’re willing to drive a coupe of hours in different directions, there’s so much to see and do. Great area to visit. Lake Tahoe is the only touristy area I’ve ever visited that I consider worth the people.

Good morning Menagerie! I have been over passes in Colorado in August where there was still snow from the previous winter. Sometimes they grow a pink algae, and they call it watermelon snow, or pink snow. I’ll post a pic:

Good day, Czarina! Saw a YouTube travel video recently of Las Vegas and it was like a ghost town. Last time I was there in 2007 for a political conference it was packed as one would expect. The small hotel room offering I’d reserved turned out to be overbooked and so management gave me this incredible suite for the weekend at no extra cost.
Love Lake Tahoe, Nevada…

Good mornin’, and happy Sunday! As we quickly approach Easter, it’s more critical than ever that everyone has enough coffee to drink so we can remember the names of the “new ones” at church who look like they were here last year at the same time. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee!

Morning T, and thank you sir!
I have always remembered a little lecture in the sermon after Easter or Christmas one year, many years ago. The priest said “Ah, but we get to keep one or two each year. Is that not worth crowded pews and fewer parking spaces?”
I’m thinking…
Seriously, many people maintain that link and eventually do find their way home. But I am going to try to get there early and keep my favorite seat!

Happy Palm Sunday, Texan! As a kid I loved going to church during Easter week and then on Easter Sunday getting to wear my new dress and new “Sunday only” shoes. People used to really dress up in those days.
Your maker today would go well to keep the singing voice in tune for the congregational songs. Coffee on Sunday in the church courtyard always calls for styrofoam cups. Would anyone object if you brought along your own travel mug with lid…

Hegseth Slashes ‘Faith Codes’ in Move to Make Chaplains the Spiritual Backbone of the US Military
By Jack Davis, The Western Journal – Mar. 28, 2026 8:20 pm
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth says his latest reforms will allow the Chaplain Corps to fulfill its mission of being the spiritual backbone of America’s military.
The number of faith codes used in the service has been winnowed down to 31, according to a War Department news release.
In 2017, the Pentagon issued a list of 221 groups that qualify as a religious group. The list included Wiccans and atheists, according to Stars and Stripes.
“The previous system had ballooned to well over 200 faith codes,” Hegseth said Tuesday.
