Saturday's critters

 Today let's get serious, and not so serious!

Beck's Blooms ad for iris bulbs on Facebook





Sculpture outside the James Museum of Western  (and Native American) Art, St. Petersburg FL view one.

Today!



I was awake at the awful time of 3:45 this morning, and nothing would induce me back to sleep. So up I dragged the old bones to kitchen, warmed up yesterday's coffee (in a jar in fridge). So dark outside still! It's all the fault of AC the blogger, who has had short nights in the past (but probably won't now that he's been re-plumbed.)


San Francisco City Hall on Harvey Milk Day.  Taken from Fulton Plaza with the SPECTRA light installation by Joshua Hubert.






Hemmingway and his six toed cat. Many people enjoy visiting Key West to see his home and all the cats. They are surprised that all over town there are also chickens! A place to love critters and Margaritas!

New Mac Air laptop is working about halfway to my needs. Blogger won't open photos in the iCloud yet. I had to load Chrome to be able to work most Blog functions...and when I try to load a photo it just is blank. Any help from fellow Mac bloggers would be appreciated.

When I went to bed (early around 9) we were experiencing thunder storms, so I unplugged the new laptop to protect it from possible surges. Yes it's on a surge protector, but I lost a laptop which had also been on one many years ago to lightening...which actaully struck the next door neighbor's tree. It was great to open up and still have power this morning! But oh lots more rain is around today! The protesters are urged to be prepared!

    1. Many many Americans will show that they believe in a democratic form of government (not the party Democrats!)

  2. I really hope that no one shows up for this obscene parade. Probably a vain hope, though.

    1. I laughed when Facebook posted that 7 major networks were to run sports events at the same time. Not likely. We know who pays their bills!

  3. Hello Barb,
    We are having a rainy NO KINGS day here. I love the pretty Iris and the bird jug is cool.
    Cute collection of cat photos, I did see a lot of kitties during my visit to Key West.
    Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

    1. Our rain will probably also come back. For right now I'm going to scurry out and take some unused plant-pots to the trash/recycle area, in hopes other residents will want them.

  5. AC had that one magical night, but he seems to be back closer to the 6-hour range.

    1. And speaking in third person, I believe. Perhaps a sign of royalty. Don't come out with all the No Kings protests today. I'm sooo sleepy now...eating lunch early and planning to catch some zzz's
