today
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.
replying to my post for visibility 🙏Please share & Boost. Hoping anyone kind hearted people will help me out here. 😭
#Introduction post ✨
Sorry took long to post it .Also I just turned 24 and I currently lived Negros Philippines.
📷 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) 🥹❤️
Good morning. Spring is trying. #Photography #Today #Chicago #Spring
📷 Water standing in the front yard, just off the porch. The ground is saturated, but more on the way this afternoon and tonight.
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!

This area has always been a re-entry point going back thousands of years. You are looking at now, as it was then.

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

At first I thought my neighbors were growing stock — but no, it's foxglove.
Happy International Tea Day!
It's always tea time.

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.
Good morning. Spring is trying this Monday morning. #Photography #Today #Spring #Chicago
Good morning. Spring feels like it might be willing to give way to summer. Some sunshine helps. #Photography #Today #Spring #Summer #Chicago
Happy National Limerick Day!
A limerick is a five-line humorous poem with a distinct AABBA rhyme scheme and a bouncy rhythm.
Edward Lear (born today) popularised the form in the 19th century, frequently using them in his #Book of Nonsense.
What is your favourite limerick? Feel free to share 😉

Today is Daphne du Maurier’s birthday!
Few #writers could create an atmosphere like Daphne du Maurier. Her #stories begin elegantly, then something shifts. A beautiful house can become a prison, love can turn into possession, and silence can be more frightening than a scream. Suddenly you are #reading faster than you planned.
Have you read any of her #novels?
