My sis has a mama deer with a bad leg on her property and sis has been leaving food for the doe. I mentioned the plethora of acorns from 3 oaks in our backyard. The result is a match made in heaven: acorns delivered to sis for feeding the deer. She (doe, not sis) enjoys munching them!

Pretty sky at sunset near Petaluma (taken with Pixel 8 phone camera) #photography #skyphotography #landscape

Clouds at sunset looking west from near Petaluma, with a grassy field and country road just visible in the foreground.
Clouds have many colors from the setting sun, including a very interesting turquois-ish band.

Advocating against Talarico's new rightward tack on trans kids in sports and gender affirming care is not advocating for Paxton. It's advocating against Talarico's new rightward tack on trans kids in sports and gender affirming care.

A little warm today, but now, as the sun retreats, I'm sitting outside with Lilly. I found the sky relaxing.🙂

Human rights of trans people are under attack by governments and cruel people. It's a cause too often forgotten, but needs more attention. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these pieces will go to our local gender affirming closet (approximately 30% of price). Please share to help!

Lilly is happy the sun made an appearance on this #Caturday. BTW, this is in our fenced backyard, under adult (though not mature 😉) supervision, which is why she's only harnessed with no leash.

I agree with your list, especially Jaws. I would add The DaVinci Code. Even though I didn't think the movie was that great, I really didn't like the book. Also, I just (finally!) watched Interview With The Vampire (1994 movie), which I enjoyed. Again, I almost couldn't make it through the book.
