Why risk it?

Post a random photo otherwise everything goes wrong in June.
A black cat with green eyes and a white spot on her chest sits on a flowery green armchair. A blue and white Mexican blanket is in the foreground.

Emergency floof!
A sleek black cat sitting on a red couch. She has yellow eyes and is looking like she's trying to stare into your soul.

Also a very sleepy cat.

Not a pet, but, little froggy friend on our door lock!

I kept hearing about this book, The English Understand Wool, and finally got around to it. It's like nothing I've read before, and I really enjoyed it. Going on my "just trust me, give it a try" recommendation list.

Plus it's short so if you don't like it you haven't lost that much time.

Yeah this checks out 😂 Born and raised here, parents born and raised here, and I only left (for a summer) to Wisconsin.

Never been to Nebraska, but it looks like those cities are highlighted because I say "pop."
A heat map of my dialect, with dark red around central Minnesota, and little pockets around Omaha and Lincoln, NE. Much of the western US is red and yellow,and northeast is a little yellow, as is Florida, and the remaining south and eastern seaboard are shades of blue.

Could be worse 🤷‍♀️
A cookie-decorating setup. It includes piping bags full of green, pink, blue, yellow, and purple frosting, and just behind is a cookie rack full of brightly decorated sugar cookies in various flower and Easter egg shapes. There's a covered cake pan with more cookies off to the side.

It's Leap Day! Post frog.
A small green frog chills on a large, dark green squash leaf. The frog is seen through a grid of black fencing.

Luna and I hope the day goes as well as it can.
A black cat sits on a blue recliner and pokes her head out from underneath a green blanket. Her yellow eyes give the look that says, "why have you disturbed my slumber?"

Hey that's me!
Here's Estrella smelling smoked salmon and very politely asking for some.
A black-and-white tuxedo cat with yellow-green eyes sits on a honey-colored wood floor, looking her very cutest and politest.

Drop something blue from your gallery.
Looking at Lake Superior from Park Point in Duluth, Minnesota. The bottom third is all golden sand, giving way to blue lake with the barest ripple of waves, then a blue, hazy sky with light, high clouds. Unknown blue-purple wildflowers growing out of a sandy patch of ground. It's a sunny day and you can see the shadow of me taking the picture on the left. A sunny morning view of Mille Lacs Lake, looking out at Cove Bay. The water fills the bottom half, with a patch of green reeds sticking out of the water to the left. In the distance, land juts out from either side of the frame, all green trees, creating the bay and leaving a narrow space to leave. The sky is blue and cloudless. A view of the St. Louis River in Jay Cooke State Park. The river is slow and calm here, and gray basalt--almost like columns tipped on their sides--interrupts the flow. The shoreline on the left is steps of basalt, and a few people can be seen in the distance. Bright green trees are on either side of the river, and the sky is a bright nearly cloudless blue.
