While I’ve been away, my husband rigged up a camera next to where our male cat (Fattie) likes to sleep. I tuned in this morning and he was lying there but not sleeping. So I turned on the mic. He heard the click and greeted me. Sounds of home. ❤️

And now, the frame in the anti-anxiety filmstrip in my head is an actual filmstrip from our wildlife cam! It’s raccoon playtime on our back deck this morning! Look at those glowing eyes as they wrestle each other! (and now I know why our screen is always all twisted up and frayed!)

Update: Typhoon is outside PAR but still some areas is having severe rain.
It's California poppy season! These caught my eye as I drove down a local road I hadn't been down before.
The flowers are still going strong at the farmers market. Have some dahlias!
Good morning. Spring colors springing about. #spring #Photography #flowers #BloomScrolling #Chicago #Today
Today's farmers market had a lot of ranunculus, including more of the bright yellow one with maroon striping!
Good morning. Rainy first weekend of June. #Summer #Photography #flowers #BloomScrolling #Chicago #Today
Whenever I am driving to or from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, it’s mandatory for me to go to one (sometimes both!) of the bridge view parks. On our way south today, I stopped at the park near Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse in the Lower Peninsula.
Home from the farmers market, and I fear we're getting to the end of dahlia season. There were still some lovely ones today, though — just less selection.

Well...good morning everyone! Had a good day yesterday but had to go back to compression socks with my right foot pretty swollen from the heat and standing a lot all day...slept okay last night and need to get on the bike here right now but there is no urgency today with just the rides and grilling to do today...going to try out the 100spf sunscreen I got yesterday and I hope it keeps me from being scorched on the bike..it did rain here yesterday for about an hour and I'll take it...

A fresh feta & spinach gozleme from Preston Market is a wonderful thing. As I finished eating it, the sky over the car park exploded with crows, for a minute.
It's like the opposite of designing an escape room and a lot less fun. Downsizing someone is hard enough. When they have dementia, it's even harder because you have to recreate their environs in a way that will make sense to them. Everything that goes in has to be strategic.
It took a couple of weeks of planning to execute my mother-in-law's move to a locked memory care facility. We trickled her stuff out slowly to minimize the shock. Yesterday, my wife took her to our house for the day while I did an all day sprint to complete the move. She left a large apartment and returned to a mini version carefully assembled to feel similar to her old one.
At the end of that marathon day, all I could think of was that whomever wrote "Who moved my Cheese" perfected the art of monetizing the fortune of having an easy life.
I never touched that book so I can't say if my ire is founded or not, but yesterday I randomly found myself irate at the influencer types that I once regarded as wise in early adulthood.

This is my childhood friend Kevin's "Big Stick" emblem. He had* severe hemophilia and the Big Stick is a rite of passage that he's taken part in for over 20 years at an activity camp for kids with hemophilia.
Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder where your body doesn't make enough clotting factor to stop bleeds. This means that there is no such thing as a minor injury. It's not just cuts and scrapes. You pull a muscle? There's bleeding that has to be controlled.
Hemophiliacs have to administer clotting factor from an IV to stop bleeds. At this camp, the kids will reach an important rite of passage. They learn a crucial skill they'll need to become independent. The kids will self infuse their own IV for the first time.
Kevin's at the camp for work reasons, but he's also volunteering to give back. He hand carves every child their own custom stick trophy to award to them after they've taken a needle and made their "big stick".
*-He still has hemophilia, but cutting edge therapies improved it.

Niccolo Machiavelli (May 3, 1469 – June 21, 1527) wrote The Prince after prison, torture, and exile, with the cold clarity of someone who had seen power from the inside.
This is not just a book about rulers but about fear, ambition, loyalty, betrayal, and the dangerous people who believe they are born to command others.

If you're in #Vancouver #today I totally recommend you go to the "End Times Garage Sale " in Heritage Hall on Main Street. Very dark vibe, excellent product quality.

Do yourself a favor. Follow the #today tag.
In it you'll find people talking about their lives. How tall their grass is growing. How long its been since they've seen a loved one. How worried they are about their plumbing.
It's where we can remember the joy and sorrow of shared experiences together.

Today's farmers market still had plenty of ranunculus — but also other flowers, like this strawflower and statice combination.
A pleasant surprise this morning at the farmers market: the flower guys did indeed have more ranunculus.
