#Today
#Today, a shining date in local bird history, the doves have prevailed. Pooping on the furniture can recommence.
#Today, less than 20 days since the scare owl was deployed, scouts descended. While her buddies stand guard, the brave dove goes in for a closer look.

This week's Image uploaded to RedBubble. And now available for t-shirts and a whole lot more at https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/146794102 . I find adjusting for different items rather time-consuming, so I consider it my art project for the day.
What a week! #WWDC really got me thinking about the future. I do believe we are at the cusp of Spatial computing. It's more than Ar/Vr. These accessories work with a device to run in a 3d environment. This is a platform and a system creating a world around you. I'm intrigued on how to pull it off. I will explore it a lot more. #Today #mastoart #art
A bird pooped on my arm #today while I was out walking. I suppose I should be happy it was just my arm! How's your day going? 🐦💩
For those who don't know, I keep a #quotes journal, documenting snippets from #books I've read that speak to me for one reason or another.
The result is a unique #journal of my own, reflecting on my life using the words of others as prompts for thought. I've never been one for #journaling, but I find this to be quite introspective.
Today's quote is from the late Louise Dickinson Rich. There are a few takeaways here, but one is greater than the rest:
Find your happy.
#Today (so far), transplanted two dozen plants up in the front yard flower garden. I’m finally running out of space up there; and, accounting for natural spread, my work in that area is done (once I ensure they establish).
#Flowers #Joy #PollinatorGarden #Goals
You know the time is almost up for your species when the first natural response to an Obituary is an expensive bottle of whiskey and a professionally done multi-layer ganache cake with all the frills. Everyone celebrates, enjoys the cake, and cheers on the dead.
"Due to increased volume, call wait times may be longer than usual, also, we're incredible fascists and we don't really care about wages or hiring people, please try our dystopian chatbot that may or may not convince you to end it all. Have a nice day!"
#Today promises to be another one of those days where I struggle to see a clear line of what needs to be done next.
#today my son is back on court with #AndyMurray shortly, it seems!

📖 #Today's #meditation :
✨
Think of the devil as scared and all their counsel issuing from a place of desperation.
✨
A new day, a new chance to succeed.
For me, juggling is a state of mind that needs to encompass a wide range of experiences.
We like the effortless rhythm of toss and catch, of braiding the air or rolling a circle.
But that doesn't happen without practice, starting and stopping, dropping and picking up to start again.
Yesterday's successful juggling left me scrabbling under the mental furniture looking for the dropped balls.
Today, I start again.
I hope you find your rhythm #today

It's a lovely day to be productive. Get it done!

The temperature is 66F 18C w/sunny skies in the woodlands of MO.
We have a fun filled day #Today. 10yo granddaughter came to stay yesterday, spent the night and today we will take a convertible ride out to lunch and then meet up with our son and grandson who are camping in a remote area along the river. The temperature looks perfect for a day outdoors.
I’m striving for a workout before we head out, woke up late😡so whatever.
Be kind in your actions & words🤗

I finally had a good night's sleep after several days of not having enough hours. If you live in the north of the United States, hang in there and wear masks when you go out so you don't breathe in all the air from the fire. Take care out there! Here is your #morning #mantra
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise and I will use this gift to help everyone I can.
#photography for #today is a #sunset yesterday.
Good morning. Trump has been indicted on federal charges so here’s an Orange Lily to commemorate the moment. #Summer #photography #flowers #Chicago #Today #Trumpindicted
Air quality is much, much better in my area this morning. AirNow.gov says it's "unhealthy for sensitive groups," and AccuWeather calls it "poor." That's three steps up from yesterday's "hazardous." I'm still skipping my early morning walk for another day.

#today I'm feeling very "Groundhog Days". I need a change of scenery/routine but AQI is supposed to be better-but-still-not-good this weekend and the senior beast has to be crated whenever we leave that makes me feel guilty. Oh, and I was hoping the AQI would increase the masking, but nope. People around here have decided "fuck my lungs". I guess menu planning/grocery list and laundry are the order of the day.
The rats shared my rooibos tea this morning. It was not hot, but much warmer than anything they've encountered before. The cashew nut milk probably attracted them.
Jasper takes one lick, then backs off. Shakes out his little hands, *shake*, like that, washes his nose. Then goes back for lick, then backs off for another shake and wash.
Saffy drinks, glances up at me whiffling her whiskers at the unexpected temperature, and just goes on drinking, noting the heat but not worried by it.
I also watched Maurice wash behind his ears: he doesn't use his hands like I assumed. He reaches up with his little arms straight up, and rubs the inside of his wrists behind his ears, exactly like a lady applying perfume to her pulse points. 😂
And to wash his chest, he doesn't do that "crane and lick" thing that cats do, he very sensibly takes hold of his loose chest-skin and pulls it up to his mouth as if it was a jersey. Too cute.
Good Day everyone! 👋

#today was a day of one task leading to another task to another to another. I ended the day with a lot accomplished. Replaced the shabbin's weather protection tarps with thick, clear ones, so that's a huge and bright improvement. Tore down a pallet wall and rebuilt it. Organized my kitchen space to incorporate more shelves. Cleaned up a bunch of mess the builder guy left. Took Advil.
Have a wonderful day people of #Mastodon
forgive me for asking help/support for food/catkibbles 😢😢
Hoping for a little kindness 🙏🏻

After 2 hours of unexpected thunderstorms our air quality remains unhealthy. In fact, the air quality numbers are have gotten worse. To add insult to injury, the temperature is now down to 61 degrees. In June.
When do the hordes of locusts arrive?
#today
please notice me 🥺😢 :blobcatbigsob:
Morning left another new opportunity for success on my doorstep.
Maybe success is only picking up after yesterday's party. Maybe it's doing your laundry so you'll have clean clothes tomorrow.
Maybe it's sitting quietly for a few minutes feeling your breaths.
Maybe it's surviving until tomorrow.
You get to decide what success means to you. You can always make a different decision tomorrow.
The secret is continuing to make them.
I hope you find satisfaction in the decision you make #today
Did you ever see Toy Story 3? Remember the scene toward the end where all of the toys accept their fate of being incinerated, but the giant claw comes and saves them all? Let's try to make #today the claw because lately, it feels like the incinerator. Here's your #morning #mantra for #Thursday.
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise and I will use this gift to help everyone I can.
#photography for today is run down factory by my house.
I'm up way too early #Today but for a good reason- have to pick my daughter up from the airport. And, then other daughter and DIL arrive later in day. The circus is coming to town, as my husband would say. Our quiet little lives are waking up. 30 people here Saturday. Let the games begin.
mikayy say hi ❤
Be kind always.
Please need support for getting some catfood 🙏🏻

#today I hear, they're going to start the Electric Slide. Someone round up @BTyson @TheQuinbox and @MikeGorse Good, you got 'em. Maybe @Furball and @MidnightRaven and @riversidebryan come on up here! We start in 3 minutes. Meanwhile, y'all get acquainted! I put the needle on the record. Let's go!! I take my place, and we dance.r
#today my spouse gave my dog a bread crust. Dog did not eat this and instead just kind of carried it around the house. He refused to leave it home when we went for a walk and carried it with him for over a mile. Now that we’re back it’s on the floor.
Dawn presents me with a brand new chance to succeed every single morning.
It's always up to me what I do with it.
Yesterday doesn't really matter, unless it left a mess for me to clean up.
Picking up the drops is just part of the process of juggling.
Tomorrow? I can't do much about it yet.
I'll focus on my juggling of mind, body, and spirit today. I'll write a little, read a little, play a little, and get some exercise.
Maybe I'll succeed. Maybe not.
I hope you find your focus #today
Happy #WhiskersWednesday you beautiful Masto people!
A cloudy 72F 22C with a brief shower, lasting only minutes. Low % of much needed rain #Today in the woodlands of MO.
Spooner, my box 🐢 will be relying on her inside UV light today. Yesterday I spotted her rustic tunnel moving with her inside, hubs said I’ll find her a bigger tree😁and she said does this box make my butt look big?Lol
Happy Hump day to all you Mon-Fridayers!
Time to get moving for my workout, no plans are good plans.
Be kind🤗

You rock for making Mastodon special!
One of the things I have learned about birds is that access to water is important. Some birds only come to our "bird area" for the birdbaths, not the feeders.
I love the various styles of use. Some birds stand daintily on the rim and drink. Some hop in, jump around and do a little dance as they splash + fluff their feathers.
My favorites are the ones who hunker down in the water and just sit, like it's a relaxing hot tub. You can almost hear the "Ahhh".
Enjoy your day!
Watched the cormorants and gulls play musical poles from the bird hide on Park Island this morning.
An airborne bird has advantage over a perching bird because of sheer momentum, but if you have the charisma, you can keep your perch in the face of an invader by squawking loudly enough.
Saw more than one incoming cormorant end up in the water after being squawked at.
Then they are all like "bloody hell don't you know I don't have oil on my feathers, they're not waterproof! And now I have to start all over drying them off."
Nobody does grumpy quite like a cold, wet cormorant.
After a non-stop work day I'm on a train, wearing my loudest shirt, on my way to a date in the evening sun and looking forward to conversation, play, dinner and wine.🍷
What are you up to #today?
#Photos taken in my #garden earlier #today. I've selected these slightly soft focus images as they bring out the colour better at the expense of the shape or form.
All of these #roses are grown using #organic methods and never had a drop of weed or insect killer, let alone artificial fertilisers. I feed them using a nettle and comfrey mix grown in my #backyard .

Saw this excellent bumper sticker today, and made a new doggo friend at the gate right next to the car. Such a sweetie, let out small, breathy whines as I petted him. And just look at those enormous paws.
Greetings, fellow people, and welcome back to #Monday. It's going to be a week. A whole week. Just think about all the chances you have to start something over, try again, or begin something new! It's never to late to change your #habits if you want to. Here is your #morning #mantra
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise, and I will use this #gift to #help everyone I can.
#photography for #today is this amazing fog I caught floating above the ground one morning on my way to work. I thought it was awesome!
I had breakfast #today with a person around 70 years old who still chooses not to have a cell phone, a computer, or even an email address. She has a landline and an answering machine. She has learned enough computer skills to do her part-time job, and the rest of the time, she sculpts, gardens, and cooks. She seems perfectly content.
I was going to be late to meet her, so I called the diner to leave a message for the host to give her, just as everyone used to in the not-so-distant past.
Almost forgot today was #Sunday. I didn't sleep in but I did get to go to breakfast with my mom and brothers which is very rare. I hope you're spending today with someone you care about even if that's your self. Here is your #morning #mantra.
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise and I will use this gift to help everyone I can.

Visited the #allotment this morning and the greenhouse tomatoes needed to have their side shoots removed. I brought them home and stuck them in water to make new plants, much to the dismay of Mrs P - "we have enough tomatoes already" (actually no we don't) 🙂
I've promised these will be left outside for neighbours to help themselves once they're potted up.
Does anyone else have this irrational dislike of throwing away viable plantlets? Is there a name for it? Do I need help?

Good morning. Smoke from Canadian fires is back in the Chicago air this summer morning, so here’s a Smoke Bush. #Summer #photography #flowers #Chicago #today
#Today I squealed in glee while putting on my socks. The soles of my feet are back to their normal color! Medication side effects are receding.
Happy #Caturday from the baby cats!
I’m checking out the new studio’s grand opening today! I’m so excited but nervous I won’t fit in. Wish me luck!

Your help is awesome! Keep it up!
Good morning everyone! Hope everyone has a great Friday. It's sunny here but after the soggy flood from yesterday...humid. 😓
Always loved roses with different bloom color potential on the same bush. This one is from the greenhouse but I wanted to share it. 🌹 ❤️
Oh no.
I asked IT to install a huge amount of stuff kind of urgently (because I found out today about some work that needed doing for central government... with a deadline of three months ago).
They got onto it very quickly, bless them. And have been working hard.
Aaaaand..... I've just figured I only actually need about a third of what I've asked them for.
I feel so guilty now.
(Been writing all day so most of what I saw was words on a screen, but still, saw a few things)
Things I saw today:
A pied kingfisher doing a rapid grooming routine: Right wing, left wing, right side of head, left side of head, beak wipe right, beak wipe left, shake out the butt feathers. (The butt feather shake looked very satisfying)
A pied kingfisher (different one) jumping off a pole straight into the water, emerging with a small fish, dropping the fish very deliberately, immediately diving and catching it again, and dropping it back into the water again. Poor fish! Or lucky fish?
A caterpillar munching on an aloe flower, and a few florets down on the same flower, a bee, packing her pockets full of dark orange pollen.
A single goose keeping watch on the roof of the flats opposite my house. In the rain, all heroic and misty.
