It’s a hazard.

Elly here is much beloved, but has lost its ears & brain cavity to enthusiastic squeaker eviction…
A plush elephant toy laying on its side, only a strip of the ear remains and the dome of the head has collapsed with the two inch long tear allowing the trepanning of the squeaker. To the left is a long, flat rabbit-shaped fabric toy, the far leg and the bottom ear warped and twisted from being suckled repeatedly. The beady eye only adds to the appearance of roadkill crushed by a car. The background consists of a multi colored oriental-styled area rug. The motif is common to the Southwestern US and usually referred to as a Tribal or Navajo blanket pattern consisting of geometric banner patterns shaded blue, green and red overlaying a streaky beige base.

Won’t-look-Wednesday is tomorrow!
A small dark sable Shetland Sheepdog stands in front of the camera, nose pointing up to the viewer’s left, eyes slitted as he smells something interesting. Behind him on the gravel rests an out of focus purple ball, with a large roofed kennel hazily in the rear.

I’m hypersensitive to peppers, so all chili is spicy to me.

Cody has very kindly eaten any pepperjack when it comes in a cheese assortment.
A small dark sable Shetland Sheepdog lays diagonally on a light blue flower-patterned floor cushion. Behind him to the viewer’s left is the lower part of a teal recliner and to the right is a golden oak cabinet with glass doors that matches the golden oak floor. The edge of a beige & blue patterned oriental rug is in the foreground, with the floor cushion just overlapping the blue-edged rug binding.

Don’t let this featherweight’s cute appearance fool you, his bloodlust for any prey animal and toy-destroying deathshake is enough that we were forced to bell 🔔 him.

Don’t let his cute little face fool you, he has stolen my store loyalty cards more than once. I have to apologize to the cashier every time I go to the grocery store now because of the punctures.

Cackling.
Screenshot from a Buzzfeed article on best signs of the week: A free-standing chalkboard easel on a sidewalk with “Free Bags of Fish Guts to Throw at Trump!” In pink chalk with “You’re Welcome” below in slightly smaller print. The TACO could certainly use some more guts.

I have strong opinions but I don’t entirely hate what they’ve done with the Rose Garden (it’s a routine venue for ceremonies).

I would definitely advocate for #48 to remove half of the tiles or add giant planters for the titular roses & some shade trees or at least a pergola. Wasteland of white.

Thinking? If I’m not in bed, he is on the bed under the ceiling fan.

A semi-rare photo of Cody not hogging my bed. (He’s too energetic most of the time to snap photos that aren’t a blur of fur!)
A darker sable Shetland sheepdog with upright ears sits patiently in the sphinx position. He rests on a gray & white carpeted door mat facing away from the door behind him.

Feeling sleepy, might delete later vibes.
A small sable Sheltie rests his head on the nest he has made amidst my pillows & comforter, showing the pale blue-gray of the lining.

It definitely wasn’t an invasive they had a whole garden of native crops just around the corner and this was a clearing in the middle of palm trees & statues. These are the pictures immediately before & after.
A native Hawaiian statue carved out of a palm tree stump. It grimaces in what is meant to be fierceness but from a modern perspective, the knock-knee stance and balled fist straight at his sides are more reminiscent of a bout of food poisoning. You can just see the corner of the fortified building in the upper right corner, across a small rocky inlet made of dark weathered volcanic rocks. A well manicured stretch of pale sand dotted with various sized palm trees, their leaves casting shadows on the ground. In the distance you can see the shoreline made from weathered dark volcanic rock.

Huh. I wonder if this is the same thing or a close cousin. Found it a couple years ago at one of the National Park Heritage Sites on the Big Island in Hawaii.
Five small, petunia-like flowers surrounded by matted green foliage that resembles fir branches but much finer. At one of the National Park Heritage Sites, on the south western coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. This was in the dunes, away from the beach among the palm trees.

A wee rose for you! Off the most spiteful little rose bush.
A tiny, scruffy yellow miniature rose, the type often sold by grocery store florists, gamely surviving despite the heat, humidity, predation and overcrowding. On a backdrop of German Iris fronds in a mulched garden bed. The flower is less than 2 inches wide, but picture doesn’t do justice to the incandescent yellow of the petals that can be seen from 50 feet away.

I feel a little too seen… If I’m not active here for a while, I’ve probably gotten buried in my TBR backlog again.

As long as we’re inside, it’s the same here…

We’ve become very vocal about neighborhood joggers. I can’t tell if he wants to herd/chase them or he’s upset that they aren’t paying attention to him.
A small Shetland Sheepdog gazes adoringly at the camera (well, the cake plate not in the picture) his head pillowed on the pale blue lining of my comforter. Giving strong “Old Spice” commercial levels of hammy “Hello Ladies, don’t you want your man to smell like me?” Though, despite going months without a single bath, he only vaguely smells like a wool sweater and dryer sheets.

Quote from the linked Slate article: …Mamdani’s victory flattened the confusion of our age. The anxiety of bros, so pervasive in liberal politics, was steamrolled, because everyone (italics for emphasis) —from edgy podcasters to Park Slope moms— wanted to make Andrew Cuomo eat shit. I hope this feeling never ends.

My pink salvia from last month, it’s since faded back with the presumably may night salvia being kind of a thug in front of it. The Mays are allowed to stay here because they are all still prolifically in bloom & mostly covered in bumblebees during the day.
A large-ish patch of pink salvia growing under the sugar maple with shorter purple salvia growing in front of it. Directly behind them in the dry-looking garden bed is a watery-lavender-purple German Iris and behind that is one of several bland white Bobo cultivar hydrangeas. Peeping in between the iris fronds is the stubborn remains of a miniature rose, the kind that you find in a grocery store being sold as a house plant. The whole bed has since been weeded and covered in nearly 2 inches of mulch.

An excerpt from The Atlantic article: To call AI a Con isn’t to say that the technology is not remarkable, that it has no use or that it will not transform the world—perhaps for the better—in the right hands. It is to say that AI is not what its developers are selling (marketing) it as: a new class of thinking and soon, feeling machines.

Here’s a quick sampling of some variation from my current home with an old AAA card for scale.
A large, overcrowded Hosta, with day lilies at the bottom of the photo and the acid green foliage of an azalea on the top right. An old AAA card balances on the foliage for scale. The Hosta features solid green heavily ribbed leaves with distinctive blue shading. There’s a scattering of water droplets from the rain and some nibble marks on the tips from insects or rabbits. A slightly wilted hosta that was just uprooted & transplanted yesterday. This one features much more petite leaves indicated by an old AAA card balanced on the foliage. In direct sunlight it is even blue-gray in tone than the grass around it. The plant is surrounded by driveway marker stakes and planted against a concrete foundation. Black wires and gray conduit emerge out of the ground against following the wall upwards to the utilities. A solid bright green to chartreuse Hosta of the variety called ‘Guacamole’, spattered by rain, an old AAA card balanced on one leaf. Leaves are slightly curling from the shock of being uprooted & transplanted yesterday. It is butted up against a concrete foundation and has old driveway markers surrounding it for protection. A giant bicolor Hosta, possibly the “Gigantosaurus” variety. Each leaf is almost ruffled with the amount of ribbing, giving rainforest/jungle vibes with its acidic green color with dark green splotches like spilled paint in the center of each leaf. An old AAA card perches on the largest leaf for scale, showing that the leaves are up to a foot in length. A carpet of weedy forest undergrowth surrounds it.

My Korean lilacs! Not 100% sure which variety, but much daintier foliage & flowers than standard lilacs.
A trio of Korean lilacs on the side of the house, with dwarf Siberian Irises blooming in front of the center & right hand bushes. Neighbors garage in the background.
