Mo’s first protest. We joined a March in Palo Alto this afternoon. The picture doesn’t show it but there were 1000s of people.

My signs for the No Kings demonstration today in Palo Alto CA.
Two protest signs. One says “No Kings. This is how dictatorships start.” The other one says “ICE is state-sponsored terror.”

I just got a new pup. I might be posting a lot of pictures for a while. I’m in love.
Puppy chewing on a chunk of bamboo in a cuddle bed. Chunk of bamboo starts to slip out of his mouth and over the edge of the bed. Chunk of bamboo lands on the ground. Puppy gives up and goes to sleep, with his back and in the bed and his front end spilling over the edge of the bed onto the ground.

Figuring out how to make memes so I can post poems here. My first try with a poem I wrote recently. How’m I doing? Maybe a little hard to read…see alt text for the actual formatting!
Solstice Fragile old age, when everything fails - knees, eyes, hearts - and the world blurs birdsong and apricot, The scent of first rain, saying goodbye. I'm not tired yet of the repetitive years, the new green and the blooming, the fall into color, fade to gray - then the turning from dark to light. This old magic trick implies that the end isn't the end. There are seeds in the dust, and with rain some part of you may push up again.

Or third most recent? That's me. I don't know why I took it.

Third from the very beginning?
A big old California Buckeye tree, leafless, in a field. Shaped like a mushroom cloud.

Happy Thursday! I've already won the day! I sent all the documents requested by my lender to complete our home refi. That's my teeny house behind me in my profile pic. And here's a picture of the little patio where I meet with friends around a warm fire.
Picture of a brick patio with wooden chairs set in a circle around a fire pit with a bright orange fire burning in it. A green wreath, a colorful ceramic crescent moon and a ceramic round sun hang on the fence behind.
