Today is Betty White Challenge Day, so my guess is that we should go out and be kind to all the animals we meet. Loved Betty! She was the best of us. Be Betty.

Went #hiking along Pine Creek in Diablo Hills Regional Park in northern California today and was delighted to see so much water flowing, enough to reflect a nearby oak tree

Today is #raindropWednesday, as proclaimed by me 😊🌧️
After a week of rain the sun came out yesterday and I was able to take a few photos of raindrops in my garden. Here is one of my favorites, reflecting homes across the street upside down. #raindrops #rain #reflections #gardens

Let me make this perfectly clear, elucidate means making something perfectly clear #words #elucidate #wordofday
Elucidate [uh-LOO-suh-dayt]
(v.)
- To make clear or manifest, throw light upon, explain, render intelligible.
Used in a sentence:
“Permit me to elucidate the matter, as the nub of my gist seems to have taken a most unfortunate detour somewhere between my lips and your intellect.”

Also, I see that today is #FirstFootDay and #PolarBearPlungeDay
Enjoy!
