Our little furball has a name: Durango G (Guy) Silverton. He has also been cleared on his FIV diagnosis from early kittenhood/birth mother by a clean test today. Growing like a weed in spring!
Durango kitty in his hammock on the cat tree. He is a mostly white domestic american cat mix with some tabby marks on face, a tabby tail, and a few splotches on his body. A close shot of Durango G Silverton kitty showing his fun tabby marked face and new jingle bell collar.

If you see this, post an anime you love!

Most recent obsession is March Comes In Like A Lion. I have so many feels about Rei Kiriyama. This spectrum/neurodivergent kid and the found family he gathers as he attempts to navigate life - SEEN.
The character Rei Kiriyama from the anime version of March Comes In Like A Lion. He is seated in a Shogi competition room. Character Rei Kiriyama walking across a bridge in his Tokyo neighborhood. Water is calming for him and he chose a home in the area so he could be near the river. A group in front if a Japanese shop. Rei Kiriyama is in the middle with a bowl and he is surrounded by some of his found family of school support, the Kawamoto sister and their cats, and his Shogi rivals/friends.

Dinner is served. Between my rice cooker and my Easy-Bake I may never use the rest of my kitchen again. LOL
A finished and decorated Easy-Bake cake. Base layer is red velvet cake, vanilla frosting in the middle, strawberry cake on top, & Barbie pink strawberry frosting. It is topped with red, pink, and white funfetti candy hearts. A photo of the inside of a rice cooker. In addition to rice it contains 3 tuna fillets, onion, carrot, celery, and mushrooms.

Story time as I make cake and dinner while playing Ghost of Yotei. We found an Easy-Bake oven for 15 bucks at a WallyHell we visited on the long trip back home from the airport. I always wanted one as a kid but dad would not allow me. Let me explain...
A close-up of a new Easy-Bake oven by Just Play. The base is white plastic and the front has the name of the toy along with colorful drawn representations of things you can bake such as cookies, cake, cupcakes, and pretzels. The blue light is on indicating it is in use. My first cake layer baked in the Easy-Bake. It is in the small pan provided and is red velvet flavor. The large spatula tool is also provided to push in the tray and take it out safely. A close up of the Easy-Bake mix I used. It has a layered serving suggestion image and a small picture of the model of the oven. The mixes were on the clearance area along with the oven at a very cheap price!

Please have a Ramen Porg with topiaries and wildflowers in these trying times.
Topiary statues of the seven dwarves from the Walt Disney animated movie version of Snow White are set in a fenced area of wildflowers at the Germany pavilion at EPCOT park in Disney World. A small magnetic porg sits on the fencing. He has on a little outfit to mimic EPCOT mascot Figment (a yellow sweater with red accents and the word Figment along with a headband of orange horns).

Still disappointed I didn’t buy one of these blinged-out statues for my collection. Too early in my trip and transporting it was not gonna happen.
Lucky cat statues. Two large white cat with left paw upraised And with four smaller cats toward the bottom with right paws upraised. They re covered in lots of colored crystals.

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally?

I have to say this has been a really amazing experience. The level of art and craftsmanship on display in Takayama - the sense of community - has literally had me tear up today.
One of many huge floats at the Takayama Spring Festival in Japan. This is a shot from the back of the float featuring a massive tapestry. The float participants all wear Edo Period outfits. A shot of three of the many large floats at the Takayama Spring Festival queued up to cross the Nakabashi Bridge. One of the flot team leaders with his team and float posing for a picture with Ramen porg at the Takayama Spring Festival. A float and float team lining up and preparing the float for the night parade on the first night of the Takayama Spring Festival in Japan. At sundown the will light lanterns all over the floats and sing a sone that is only sung one time a year as they honor the Kami.

Never let it be said that a porg can't have a pensive sakura glamour shot!
Ramem porg stares thoughtfully into the distance surounded by sakura blossoms while sitting on a branch of a weeping sakura tree.

Now back to your non-political and peaceful flowers!
Not actually a flower. A decorative purple cabbage! Still, pretty nifty looking. A closeup of a pink hibiscus in full bloom. Part of a tulip bed incliding yellow, red, and variegated red and white tulips in bloom.

Did I need a new purse? NO. Was this bag so frickin' KAWAII that I could not resist it or the matching wallet? YES! JFC this country and my kawaii and cat weakness....
An ombre pink and white purse made of leather with ruffles on the sides similar to a maid's apron and covered in heart shaped crystals with a cloisonné bow between the handles. Owner has added a charm from the "lucky cat shrine" for good measure.

I have got to stop going in souvenir shops in this country. I always find some cat themed cookie or cake or chocolate that is so adorbs I cant say no!
A box of "footprint crunch" chocolates. The box has little beige paw prints and a cartoon calico kitty drawn with the right paw reaching up to show the paw pad. There is an unwrapped chocolate sitting out on the box. It has a white chocolate bottom with rice crunchies and the paw top is pink strawberry flavor.

It doesn't get much better than this.

More color cropping up everywhere on Honshu. Another week and I think more than rogue cherry and plum trees will bud out. Even the willows are starting to turn pale green in Nara.
Are these two tone purple and red flowers with black tipped stamen Dhalia? I do not know enough flowers!! A photo of a cherry tree in bloom in a tea garden in Nara, Japan. It is next to an artful pond with a walking path headed up the hill behind Interior of the Nara, Japan local train themed on the deer park. Green carpet with white and blue flecks recall a spring meadow. The benches on one side are two tone brown with spots to evoke the coat of a deer. The other side benches have a green fabric two-tone green mounds as hills along with white and beige deer shapes. A nara local train themed for their famous deer. The outside is wrapped with a garden look - blue skies, puffy clouds, deer, and the occasional person.

Hello flower! How pretty you are!
Two variegated blooms in an evergreen bush with streaks of red and pink. Could be camellia or azalea. If anyone knows please tell me. Loved this one!

For any keeping score I managed to get 5 Straw Hats in 3 days in Kumamoto. FYI: doing via public transit will get you about 2 a day. Robin is not accessible without a car.
Ramen with the Straw Hat Zoro in the park. Ramen with Straw Hat Jinbe at the shore. Ramen with Straw Hat Usopp at Aso train station. Ramen with Straw Hat Chopper at the zoo.

Also, time for adventures with Ramen-chan!
Ramen porg doing portrait mode in front to the statue of Oda Nobunaga outside Gifu Station in Honshu Japan. Ramen porg poses with lovely ikibana arrangement at the historic Ohashis' house in Kurashiki, Honshu, Japan. All the flower/plants are grown by an older woman on the staff at her personal garden. Ramen-chan doing the typical tourist shot on the canal bridge at the Bikan Historic Quarter in Kurashiki. No Ramen porg in this one. He just wants you to admire this set of dolls that has been with the Ohashi family since the Edo period. The house had generations worth of Hina Matsuri dolls on display but this simple pair was the oldest.
