Cali, a brown and white cat, lazily licks a paw while lying on a red and white striped cushion on a beige resin patio chair with a fake wicker back. The waning sunlight is slowly working its way up the chair legs.

Someone from the news was there for the initial spill, before the goop multiplied 100 times and engulfed the road. We can't find the guy who took the picture. Sad.

She disappeared the night two coyotes showed up in our neighborhood. Gone for a week. We thought the worst. Then she appeared at our door last night. Ate two dinners and crashed. Currently asleep in my closet.

I guess my problem is with 'ten' When I worked in Chicago near the Art Institute, I recall going in several times to look at Tanguy's The Rapidity of Sleep, but not ten. I own Abbey Road since the day it came out, but I haven't played it ten times. Seems like a lot.

Indoor #gardening day: kitty grass. Our cat is part cow and insists on kitty grass before every meal. It seems to help with her output (so to speak). We were buying it weekly but finally decided to grow our own. 🌱

Agapanthus aka Lily of the Nile (not actually a lily) aka Star of Bethlehem. These are our quiet fireworks that open around July 4 each year. There was exactly one bee working the entire row this morning. Not everyone gets a day off. #gardening 🌱

A cluster of pale purple fluted flowers bursting open like fireworks from a central point, set on long stiff stems shooting from clusters of long sword shaped leaves.
