Waving back from snowy CT!
A pic of my backyard during the first snowfall of the season, every twig of old maple trees in the distance frosted in white. A snow-covered cedar tree drapes itself over a weathered wooden fence.

NYT is now the Love's Baby Soft of journalism.
Image is that of a terrible mid-'70s ad for a cologne called Loves Baby Soft. It depicts A very young, preteen child clutching a white teddy bear. Her hair is elaborately curled in a very grownup style, and she has extremely adult makeup, including smoky eyeliner and red lipgloss. The ad's tagline reads, "Love's Baby Soft. Because innocence is sexier than you think." It's really quite nauseating.

Here's some I took there!
Sign by a 90-year old former Republican, reading "Mad King Trump - vengeful, autocRATic, nut-job!" 3 protesters in inflatable costumes, two unicorns flanking a lobster, one unicorn is carrying a sign with the word Trump covered by the red circle slash symbol that means no. The lobster has a sign that says 'Get your claws off our laws'. A protester in an inflatable chicken costume, carrying a sign that says 'Fight ignorance NOT immigrants!'

...and just to amuse you, Fuji apples are apparently quite comfortable.
(He wasn't rescued by me, when I first met him he literally strolled past me into my house with a soft chirp of hello, visited the litter box & the kibble bowl, then politely asked me to get the door for him. He rescued me.) 2/2
Black and white tuxedo cat, sleeping with his head pillowed by that same bag of Fuji apples.

This made me laugh.
A photo of world leaders, with Trump leaning forward to look at Putin, who seems to be avoiding his gaze. Seated between them is Germany's and France's leaders, who seem uncomfortable. Trump's caption reads, "When your ex keeps trying to catch your eye...". Putin's caption reads, "... but you just ain't even playing." Germany's leader is looking skyward with the caption "Ach, mein gott." France's leader breaks the fourth wall, looking right at you, saying in French, "My lord, he's pathetic. I can't even look at him." On the far end of the picture is the Australian leader, looking pleasantly oblivious to the situation, with the caption, "I'd be chuffed to have a grog."

Spring break...
Early daffodils blooming in a flower bed surrounded by flagstones made of beige pebbles, then smooth river rocks.

They tag-teamed me while I was distracted....
I'm wearing a VR headset and sitting on the sofa while one of my cats snuggles into my neck, and the other plots to make it a group snuggle.

Photo of a black cat and a white cat looking out a window, both staring wide-eyed at the same thing outside. Caption for the white cat is quote "Ooo yeah, baby... You barbeque that meat... Now baste the filet, sloooowly...." end quote. Caption for the black cat, in smaller font as though whispering, is quote "oh my gawd, that's so HAWT" end quote.

I took a screenshot.
After a post quoting trump complaining about people working from home by saying quote "I don't think (people) are working from home, they're going out, they're playing tennis, they're playing golf" unquote, is another post pointing out that on Sunday trump drove around the track at Daytona, on Monday trump played golf, and on Tuesday trump again played golf.

What's wrong with this picture?

The silvery thing under the yellow stool is a humidifier that I try to run every day, it keeps the aerial roots happy and green and is what I credit with getting this orchid to bloom for the first time in years.

I have a similar neighbor.
Cat sitting on a fence, looking at me through my kitchen window. Same cat, now standing on my back deck railing, looking in at me through the dining room window.
