Good morning.

I don't know why Wild Thing loves laundry hampers, but he does.

Good morning. See the yellow speckles? Those leaves aren't variegated. That's pollen. Ugh.

Good morning.

Good morning. The deck lizards continue to entertain and frustrate the cats.

Good morning.

Good morning and happy Sunday. Palm Sunday!

Good morning and happy Caturday from Wild Thing.

Wild Thing (foreground) and Mild Thing (background) wish they could break through that window and get to the lizard that's tormenting them. Nope, you're not going outside, you murderous little kitties.

Good morning. The dogwoods are in bloom, and the trees are greening up.

There was a lizard outside the window. She sat there watching it for so long that she started dozing off.

Good morning.

She knows darned well that she's not allowed on tables, but how can I scold that sweet face?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning and happy Sunday. I always enjoy nature's color combinations.

Good morning and happy Caturday from Wild Thing.

Good morning. I'm pretty sure this is a white-throated sparrow, but I'm no expert. Anyway, it's a bird.

Good morning. You know it's spring when there are so many red leaf buds that you think the trees are flowering.

An outstanding essay by Kate Bowler. “But psychologically, despair isn’t just feeling sad; it’s often a collapse of futurity. The future goes quiet. You don’t merely feel bad—you feel stuck in a story that has stopped moving.” open.substack.com/pub/katebowl...

Good morning. We have a lovely new crop of dandelions.

Good morning. From March 2015, a tufted titmouse.

We have some weird weather. Thunderstorms last night. Now it's sunny and sleeting at the same time! Fierce winds, too, and a freeze predicted for tonight and the next few nights, but up to almost 80 degrees by Friday. My poor plants don't know what to think.

Good morning. This shot is from a few days ago. Right now, we're in the middle of a severe thunderstorm. Hoping the power holds out!

Good morning and happy Sunday.

Caturday pic #2. Wild Thing can't be left unsupervised with a roll of paper towels. This one was almost gone already. It's *really* gone now.

Good morning and happy Caturday. Vintage pic of the late Miss Priss, about ten years ago.

Good morning.

Good morning. Looks like spring and fall layered together. Plum blossoms with an American beech in the background.

Good morning. We have a few bluebirds checking out our birdhouses now.

I hope the rest of the day goes this well. Wordle 1,725 2/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Good morning. From March 2015, a cedar waxwing. I haven't seen any this year, but I keep hoping.

Good morning.

Good morning and happy Sunday. The Japanese magnolia is starting to bloom.

Good morning and happy Caturday.

Good morning.

The peach trees are blooming. I'm sure the squirrels are excited.

Good morning from Mild Thing.

Good morning. Almost all of the cream-colored hellebores have turned a beautiful jade green.

Good morning. These are plum blossoms on our one remaining plum tree. The other two were diseased, and my husband had to take them down.

A stray cat showed up on the deck. Wild Thing and Stray Kitty traded yowls for a minute, then Stray Kitty trotted off. I would love to adopt him, but hubby and Wild Thing and Mild Thing would strongly object.

Good morning. The woodpeckers are making mincemeat of this rotten tree.

Good morning and happy Sunday. This is a Spanish bluebell pushing its way through the cold, drab ground. I've never grown bluebells before, but a neighbor gave me some bulbs last fall. Can't wait to see them bloom.

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and it’s difficult to see. He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now he’s struggling to find work. Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work. www.mathew-owen.co.uk

Good morning and happy Caturday from Mild Thing and her plush, multi-colored fur.

Stop calling the department of defense by the fake tough unofficial name the fake tough babies gave it. By statute & still by statute, it’s the department of defense. Stop accepting this juvenile garbage masquerading as accomplishments. Be an adult. Demand our officials be adults

How much more open does he need to be before people accept that he’s telling the truth about his intentions. He’s going to screw with the election, and he and his cronies are not ceding power. January 6th was a test, and we failed it. Stop minimizing what he’s flat out saying.
