Post something random or you will have an awful April

Picture of my TV. The opening ceremony of this year's winter Olympics is on. Mariah Carey is singing in Italian, but the captioning is in English and is not a good translation. It says "Fight. Survive the crucible be. Cause nothing is impossible." It's beautiful.

Hi Darth! Lucy turned 1 year old!

A young black labrador retriever is coming toward the camera.

The same black labrador is sitting on the floor, looking up at a hand holding a big snowman head shaped dog cookie.

NW Wyoming to Saint Paul, winter 2019. Had to detour south at Cheyenne to Denver and then across Kansas because all of I-80 through Nebraska was closed due to a massive ice storm. Cold, long, boring, cold.

Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey, etc., has been eaten and now we're all going to watch the MST3K marathon.

A black labrador is laying on a person's leg. They're both watching a TV that's showing the Mystery Science Theater 3000 marathon.

Lucy just wants to hear the word "supper", and isn't too interested in hearing a song about how nice and pretty she is (well, it's not a great song)

An eight month old black labrador puppy sits in a recliner covered with a blue blanket. She is looking right at the camera.

The same black labrador puppy looks away while I sing a silly song about how pretty she is.

This Ominous (cask on amburana wood spirals) @badweatherbrew.bsky.social is especially tasty!

First funky daylily to bloom this year!

One pink and purple daylily blooming in a big patch of green daylily plants under a hackberry tree. There's a silly cheap pink plastic flamingo in front.

STOP THIS IS A CRAFTING PIC CHECKPOINT. Please share a minimum of (1) picture of your crafting WIP before proceeding. Recommended action after sharing the pic is to craft instead of doomscrolling. Thank you. Starting two star quilt wall hangings today, one that's red and green and one blue.

Small squares of red, blue, white, and green fabric arranged on a dingy white ironing board. They'll be made into two small quilted wall hangings.

The irises in the neighborhood are just amazing this year. Even mine are beautiful. I am excited for a much prettier summer.
