Until about the middle of the 19th century the water of the IJ (a diphthong pronounced somewhat like 'eye') reached up to this dike.

The petting zoo in our park recently welcomed two rescue cats, Thunder and Lightning. For now, they’re settling into Diereneiland ("Animal Island") before they’re free to wander as they please.

I think I must have shown them some 30-odd fallen leaves...

Sean Duffy claims to be a Christian (www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/262893/...).

But shooting off his mouth in support of Trump shows that might not be the case.

He should realize that the Jesus he claims to follow doesn't like hypocrisy:

My mother was always surrounded by reminder notes. The one I remember best was a note to ask one of her sisters to return a book. My sister and I didn’t care for that aunt—she could be rather nasty and rude.

The note?

"Remember to ask L. to return Twelve Angels From Hell."

That explained a lot!

By now the Red Maple tree in front of our house has dropped all of its leaves - a lot sooner than most of the trees surrounding it.

But there's this one leaf...

By now the Red Maple tree in front of our house has dropped all of its leaves - a lot sooner than most of the trees surrounding it. But there's this one leaf... The image shows a single, still red maple leaf surrounded by other fallen leaves, all of them in various shades of yellow and brown.

Eric Trump does not have any idea of what Christianity is. Nor do the self-proclaimed 'Christians' and MAGA fans who think Donald Trump is a follower of Jesus Christ.

Eric Trump does not have any idea of what Christianity is. Nor do the self-proclaimed 'Christians' and MAGA fans who think Donald Trump is a follower of Jesus Christ. Spoiler alert: bit.ly/NeverKnewYou Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

"Helaas, pindakaas!" (Unfortunately, peanut butter!)

A Dutch way of saying, "too bad" or "tough luck" when something goes wrong.

One of the Bougainvilleas on our balcony suddenly decided to bloom again. You can almost hear the others shout, "It's the middle of October. Go to sleep!"

There are blue passionflowers (Passiflora caerulea) in my neighborhood here in Amsterdam Noord. Gorgeous, right?

Did you know that it blooms for only one day, from morning to morning, per individual flower? Each day new ones open.
