Great #NoKings turnout in my little city, where we lined the main road into town.

I took photos of the signs. First batch: Kept to the "no kings" theme.

📷 They were the first human contact of the day. We passed each other on my way to get coffee.

Me: "Wow! Whose special day is it?"

First Human Contact: "Oh. Actually, each one...I'm taking balloons to the shut-ins this morning." 😊

Me: (nodding, smiling) 🥹❤️

Just a simple #Fact for #Today and, in fact, any other day. 🤣

#Memes #Microsoft #MicrosoftTeams #Windows

A meme. A vampire hates sunlight. Superman hates kryptonite. And me, I hate Microsoft Teams.

Good morning. Spring is trying. #Photography #Today #Chicago #Spring

A cluster of bicolor columbine flowers (Aquilegia) is shown in a vibrant, close-up portrait. The blooms feature elegant, long-spurred outer petals in a soft lavender-pink, which surround delicate, creamy white inner petals. At the very center of each flower, a bright tuft of yellow stamens adds a focal point of color.

1. Today was one of the hardest tasks. We brought Dad’s ashes home.

2. I’m grateful I didn’t do it alone.

3. He’ll be laid to rest beside Mom later in spring or summer — his final wish.

#Today is a #sad day. I had to let my little friend go, after 13 years together. I got the little guy when I was but a teen🐕

He had health issues his whole life, but so far we could keep him stable and pain free. This weekend he suddenly worsened so we called the vet. His issues caught up, it wouldn't possible to get him happy and healthy. For his sake we let him go

We named our robo vacuum after him, so we can still call him to clean up crumbles

He will be missed

Changed my plans and took advantage of a break in the rain to head out and view the ocean. After all, it's #MeerMittwoch and the ocean looks spectacular under a stormy sky.

Happy #Caturday!

T.S. Eliot's 1939 collection of whimsical light poems, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, is entirely dedicated to felines and served as the basis for the musical Cats.

Poor Tennessee. Not only did he have a trip to the vet, but there was a stranger in his house.

The stranger was my handyman changing a lightbulb I can't reach and removing the screen in my office window so he could clean that window for me. (It's awkward to get to and hard to clean when you're short like me. He's tall.)

But now I have a clean window for #FensterFreitag, so it doesn't look yucky in the background of Tennessee photos!

They're still selling ranunculus at the farmers market — and here's one in colors I've never seen before.

#BloomScrolling #flowers #today

Ranunculus blooms: Many are orange but one is yellow with maroon striping, which is very eye-catching.

Well, *that* was an exciting morning. Went to get my routine mammogram and discovered I'd booked it for April 27, 2027 by mistake. Fortunately, the scheduler was able to fit me in today, even at the time I had thought I'd booked.

Lovely orchids at the medical center reception desk.

Weather at Dad's place today (April 2) in Upper Michigan: mostly freezing rain and sleet right now, with another 5 inches of snow expected on top of it. This has truly been one of the harshest winters in decades. I spoke with someone up there who said the two back-to-back storms in mid-March alone dumped 54 inches (137 cm) of snow. 😬

Three good things:

1. Even with all this weather, the camera is still giving me a window into home.

2. I'm looking forward to making several side trips while I'm in the Midwest, visiting old familiar places and some new ones, too. All with my camera in hand. Hoping to offset the inevitable moments of grief and sadness as I sort through my dad and brother's belongings.

3. It's good to finally feel excited about getting out with my camera again.

View from an indoor security camera looking out over a snow-covered residential property during an active winter storm. The foreground shows the edge of a roof and snow piled along the eaves. Beyond it, a driveway and yard are completely covered in white, with snow and sleet visibly coating the ground and the window screen. Bare trees and dark evergreen trees line the property, their branches outlined against a gray, overcast sky. Snow-covered rooftops of neighboring buildings are visible in the background, partially obscured by the wintery haze. The overall scene is cold, muted, and dominated by shades of white, gray, and dark tree silhouettes.

At first I thought my neighbors were growing stock — but no, it's foxglove.

#BloomScrolling #flowers #today

A commercial flower field with rows of purple foxglove, and a row of lavender-colored foxglove, too. A half-picked row seems to be white foxglove. In the distance, there are colorful flowers, probably ranunculus. At the far side of the field is a row of tall trees.

1. Still had a good day despite having someone answer my call by saying “Go F yourself”. I’d gotten the number correct (I hadn’t dialed wrong). I was trying to contact an estate sale company in another state. A friend suggested that when they saw my number and it wasn’t local, they figured I was a spam caller and that’s why they answered the way that they did. Maybe so, but I’ll never call them again to find out. I mean, really, couldn’t they just let it go to voice mail?

2. The floaters and light flashes have somewhat subsided, which is a relief.

3. This extra time at home while I wait for my follow up appointment with the eye doctor has given me time to slow down a bit and to continue to get my things organized for the upcoming road trip. I’m preparing for a two month stay to start sorting through my dad and brother’s things.
