Here's a juvenile Ibis walking around our backyard the other day. He didn't seem bothered or scared of our presence. He's been hanging around enjoying fresh bugs 🐛

Oh I was looking for a black hat. We were near the north entrance near the big tree where there was shade. Saw a few neighbors & old coworkers. Excellent turnout that said over 3000. Did you notice the Drones? 1 was private for sure, the other a big ol gov owned I 👋 & smiled & met a 🐸 prince 🤴

Disappointed when I shopped today to stock up on pantry items. Hershey's changed the packaging of their Cocoa and REDUCED the quantity from 8 ounces in a plastic square tub to 6 ounces in a zip lock pouch. What's this? Shrinkflation?Posted this question on their FB page.
We'll see if they reply?!?

Happy #Caturday this beautiful day in the oldest city by the sea in La Florida~ was looking for my bluebird of happiness & found none. Being resourceful & in need of JOY I found this little hat in my Spring Easter box & of course, chose to have Mr. Murphy be my fill in. EnJoy 😊 (he got treats) 🐈❤️
Calico Tabby cat laying on blue couch up against colorful pink flamingo pillow wearing a blue terrycloth bird hat. He didn't wear it long and was rewarded with treats afterwards. Mr. Murphy is 16 yrs old. 112 in cat yrs. Very well cared for rescue kitty. He has freckles in his right eye that do not impair his vision according to his doc.

Yesterday was hard, days ahead will be hard. Read an article by Bernice King in the morning so I watched the inauguration as she stated we should, to listen. After I went & voted in the 6th congressional district dressed in every warm 🔵sweater I own. I will vote, march, write, speak & pray.
An "I voted" sticker on my blue sweater vest that is over a blue thermal shirt and under a blue bulky sweater. Voting in Florida's 6th congressional district primary.
