Friday, May 3🌺

1. Spent most of the day outside in the sun-sun-sunshine. Tomorrow’s forecast is 100% rain, likely an inch.
2. Thanked & encouraged all the rose bushes with a fertilizer treat. The first bloom is ending, but most will bloom again until Thanksgiving.
3. NC son filled his new pool for the first time (yay), and vagabond son & DIL began their tour of Utah’s national parks at Zion.

Red rose root stock gone wild along along a fence with multiple blooms wrapped around branches of a crape myrtle tree & filling a corner, interspersed with greenery.

Hey all, after some personal issues including the loss of a friend and serious illness of 2 others, I have decided to start sharing now and then. I started posting on a regional page and it has re-kindled my interest.
Here are a couple of local bald eagles. Enjoy your weekend:)

War weapons factory on fire in Berlin, spreading poison gas over the city.
Firefighters confirmed that the factory of Diehl stored sulphuric acid and copper cyanide there and the chemicals ignited, which may create hydrogen cyanide. Yes, THAT cyanide.
The factory is at the south-southwest edge of town and the poison gas is being blown straight across the city's entire western side.

GREAT idea to allow placing such a facility at such location. Morons.

1. Two hours of patio sun bliss while Angela, the Good Fairy, cleaned my house, including fresh sheets.
2. NC son & DIL have been in Cabo San Lucas on a free vacation & made it home safely. (Pic below. All other pics have been of lavish food & drinks 😄)
3. I forgot to eat dinner last night so tonight is Mexican stuffed pepper night. In the air fryer as I type. 🫑🇲🇽

1. Got home yesterday after more than 24 hrs of travel between Dharamshala, India and Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.

2. Ate great Indian food.

3. A highlight was visiting the Dalai Lama's temple located adjacent to where we were staying in McLeod Ganj. We were fortunate to witness the hauntingly beautiful Tibetan Buddhist monks' throat singing. Their deep vibrations get you right in the heart and kishkes (Yiddish for "guts"). (Video attached, turn sound up.)

Short video clip of Tibetan Buddhist monks sitting on the floor of the Dalai Lama's temple in McLeod Ganj and throat singing while in prayer. The monks wear burgundy and saffron robes. The room is glowing with colorful paintings and murals.

Wednesday, May 1 🌺

1. After a couple of days of feeling puny, woke up today almost normal.
2. Wrote a “gratitude list” for daily reflection BEFORE diving into the negativity of social media, news subscriptions, political & cultural realities. (So much of my personal life is just as I wish it - but crises get the attention & angst. This helps!)
3. Good food day - egg salad for brunch, Mexican stuffed peppers for dinner. 😊

I do wish people would anticipate the little things they do that annoy me specifically. I just spoke to a guy who says the word 'project' weird and I spent the whole time thinking about how I could cheerfully murder him with my own hands. Watch the light go out of his eyes as I whispered softly to him..... it's proj-ect, not pro-ject.

Catching Up Tuesday, April 30🌸

1. Brief but very fun visit with visiting vagabond son & DIL. He photographed the rose below at a popular Sacramento rose garden.
2. Bought & potted petunias to add color & keep the bonsai forest happy. Pomegranate bonsai is already budding.
3. Big, fat bumblebee & yellow butterfly inspecting the star jasmine that bloomed overnight. (I have about 200 sq ft of jasmine…May is a heavenly-scented month.)

Ahoy Free Fedizens! Does anyone know of any systematic comparative testing or review of laptop keyboards?
I have clung to Dell laptops recently after a series of HP, Toshiba, Lenovo and MSI laptops proved to be total garbage in this respect.
I would love to know if anyone is applying actual science to this issue.
Indiscriminate boosts welcome!

If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the #web, what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?

No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.

For the first time this year, we’re falling behind on our fundraising needs for this month -- not an arbitrary goal, but a budget we’ve carefully set to support Indivisibles in the field and develop the voter contact tools we need to win in November. If you’re ready to support the grassroots organizing that will help us win this election, please pitch in and close our fundraising gap. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/majority-over-maga?refcode=mastodon20240428directpost&source=mastodon

1. A week of sunshine and warmer temps forecast.
2. Unexpected visit tonight for a couple of days from vagabond son & DIL.
3. Surprise hollyhock bloom from seeds I threw into a rosebush container years ago.
4. Bonus: Swainson’s Hawk soaring over the neighborhood on high-altitude thermals.

I’ve been friends with this gay couple for a couple of years. We have each other over for dinner pretty regularly. A while back, they gave me the exciting news that they’re having a baby and I asked about the surrogate.

Friends, there is no surrogate. So yes, men can get pregnant. Dudes you know.

The brave robin valiantly rescues the seed from its cramped prison.

Yes, yes, it does. Shush now.

(this might be the smallest face I've ever drawn on anything, might require zoomage if you're on a phone!)

National Geographic asks “Which Animals Were Actually on Noah’s Ark?” and it still breaks my heart to see what happened to the brand.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for Supreme Court Justice to be impeached, and says that she is willing to draft and introduce articles of impeachment herself.

She said in the announcement:

"I just think that if no one's going to introduce it, I would certainly be open to doing so and drafting them myself." She added, "I think this has gone far, far beyond any sort of acceptable standard in any democracy, let alone an American democracy."

Dems/public protest support her effort?
