“If I could turn back time… If I could find a way…” Well I found a way with the “Playground” app in the new MacOS 27! 😂🤣 <AI Generated>

According to our local National Weather Service here in Portland these are Altocumulus Floccus clouds! Never heard of that one before. That’s a new subtype of altocumulus clouds for me.

Cirrus filled skies over Portland yesterday. Warming weather over the weekend as well! Practically hot for this time of year in the PNW. 😂

My favorite Rhododendron of ours (“Seaview Sunset”) is looking beautiful! Over time the colors will eventually fade to a lighter yellow color…

The Anti-Christ doesn’t have horns. No, the Anti-Christ acts in every way that is completely opposite of Christ! And we all know who that is! But if you take the Bible literally like fundamentalists do, then you miss the obvious staring you right in the face!

Our two rescue Chihuahua mixed dogs, Angel (left) & Flora (right). They’ve been with us for a year now. Angel is 10 pounds and Flora is nearly double Angel’s weight! Angel has taken more to my partner, but that’s ok because Flora likes me better. 😂
