Last Notes npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #bloomscrolling #rose Friday, June 28🌞🌹 Overall, not a good day for Cyn, so I’m expanding my vision: 1. I lived 9 miles from the beach for most of my life and miss the ocean🐳, but NOTHING beats these sunny summer days (even with triple-digit heat expected soon). 2. Everyone in my immediate family is healthy, settled, advancing in their careers and education. 3. I have more than enough of everything to live a contented life, and the grace to not want anything more. 4. Bonus: I’ve been growing & photographing roses since 1984 and this (below) may be my favorite photo - “Perfume Magic,” April, 2024 https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/697/079/366/472/369/original/2310cc4d0fe12170.png npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #SilentSunday #haiku #haiga #digitalart https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/627/014/950/343/620/original/38d243f33f9c2dd8.png npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally It really is like a gratitude journal & always so uplifting. (If I only knew what these strange foods were!) Thanks…😊 npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Friday, June 14🌞 1. Reading through this hashtag daily is as refreshing as a cool drink of water in summer. Thanks to everyone who posts! 🩷 2. Egg salad sandwich for brunch. 3. Out-of-the-blue texts today from two friends I was thinking about last night. It must have been that ESPN thing. 😉 4. Bonus: Daredevil DIL paraglided (with an expert) from Mont Blanc summit at 15,000 to 3600 feet - safely. https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/617/246/729/457/387/original/02cb94e068b71662.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #photography #France Thursday, June 13 🌞 1. Sitting on the patio & watering a dry patch of lawn when two hummingbirds decided to take a mid-air shower. 2. Volunteer cat lady is determined to reunite this wayward kitten with its family TONIGHT. (Have I mentioned I don’t like cats?) 3. Vagabond son & DIL toured Mont Blanc (France) & its tunnels & glacier yesterday - amazing! https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/611/066/837/427/196/original/56c3c2c92f856a8d.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/611/066/893/340/633/original/c982d1d68c1edc73.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/611/067/108/633/900/original/76dde75badabf724.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/611/067/340/231/604/original/7f64aea3097f8638.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Wednesday, June 12🌞 1. Delightful visit with my youngest granddaughter, whose first college roommate will be bringing a ten-gallon tank with a four-year-old CATFISH named “Meatball” to university. 🐟 2. Looking through old family photos with her perspective. (Funny that she can’t tell her (twin) dad & uncle apart in any pics.) 3. Vagabond son & DIL staying with friends in Chamonix, France, and their three Galgo dogs (Spanish Greyhounds). Hilarious pic ⬇️ https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/606/200/763/688/451/original/1343d0efe7c1aec5.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally Those were difficult years for older Catholics, made worse because too few bishops/pastors gave time & resources to explanations & adult education. In parishes where change was done thoughtfully & where explanations were provided, things went smoother. Change is always tough, and in this case, it was centuries worth of ritual & non-essential beliefs that underwent revision. Most younger people (under 35-40 maybe) adapted easily, but there were always battles, especially with “cultural Catholics” whose practices were entrenched with their daily lives. Some never adapted, hence EWTN & the more conservative groups. npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally The most dangerous part of Justice Alioto’s zeal is that he genuinely & firmly believes he’s acting from absolute truth — truth that EVERYONE must ultimately accept in exactly the way he perceives it. This is counter-Reformation, pre-Vatican II Catholicism in all of its traditionalist, patriarchal, misogynistic glory - the precise reason the Ecumenical Council was called in 1962. There was no dissent possible, even thinkable, before Vat-II, just as now in Alioto’s mind there is no room for anything that is not 100% pure dogma - no room for scientific discoveries (as in sexual orientation), no room for personal conscience choice. He must either conform his own conscience to the U.S. Constitution or resign his seat. The USA is not a theocracy. #SCOTUSIsCorrupt npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Tuesday, June 11 🌞 1. Vagabond son & DIL spending a week in Chamonix, France, stayed overnight at TWA hotel at the JFK Airport…I thought this pic (below) was very cool. 2. Smallest 🐱is still here…eludes trapping with innate, impressive and frustrating skill. 3. Nectarines were $2 each last week…but they were SO GOOD! https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/599/810/280/698/968/original/93a64eb4628ea8b2.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #silentsunday #photography #yosemite (Photos by a traveling friend, taken last week) https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/588/328/407/918/518/original/c2fde0152a6c8146.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/588/328/643/138/062/original/71366710ef8c83dd.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #digitalart #digitalwatercolor #lion Saturday, June 8🌞 1. Rearranged my bonsai forest for sun protection without falling on my face. Pomegranate tree seems to be surviving after criminal over-watering. 😖 2. I have nothing to do today except what I want to do. 3. Halibut & yams for dinner tonight. 4. Bonus: Digital (not AI) watercolor rendition of an African lion pic taken by vagabond son 11/2023. https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/582/522/921/327/861/original/97ee474ec6fc6aa9.jpeg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally If I were a woman of childbearing age, the very last person I’d ever trust with my fertility, with a possible pregnancy that would affect MY LIFE FOREVER no matter the outcome, is a man. Any man. npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally As far as I’m concerned (and as an IT veteran since 1975), Microsoft has NEVER HAD ONE PRODUCT that came close to competitors’ offerings, no matter the niche or specialty. All it’s ever had is marketing expertise. If it were an auto manufacturer, it would be an Edsel or Nash bit with a pricy hood ornament & good sales teams. npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally Glorious surf! npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #photography #colorado Thursday, June 6🌞 1. Easy day, housecleaning angel here, high temp only 93°. 2. Popcorn & ice cream for dinner while watching my youngest granddaughter graduate high school in NC. They even pronounced her multi-syllabic Italian surname correctly. 3. Vagabond son & DIL drove up to the summit of Pike’s Peak yesterday & sent the photo below. (The view from the summit inspired the ode that became the anthem, “America The Beautiful.”) https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/572/720/700/587/257/original/b48d2c7b847a5fba.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally HAPPY PRIDE 2024! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶 #pride2024 #PrideAlly https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/541/984/109/082/231/original/f20b2d1f51152c49.png npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #bloomscrolling #photography Friday, May 31 🌺 1) Apparently I’m keeping the three 🐱🐱🐱for awhile as de-kittifying has been delayed & more food delivered. Mom Felicia hisses 😾at me, but the kittens are fun to watch. 2) My A/C worked fine at first usage (since fall) last night. Triple digit temps on their way next week. 3) Another blissful morning reading on the patio, next to pots of petunias. https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/537/595/559/354/722/original/8566b8dc0a15f2d6.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Wednesday, May 29 🌺 1) Another beautiful day in sunny/breezy NorCal. I haven’t yet used the A/C this year and it’s almost June. 2) My local grandkids assure me we have a plan to de-kittify the yard this weekend, and NC granddaughter won more awards last night, including MVP for lacrosse. 3) 85% settled in with new iPad, although not having the “Home” key feels like a stairway without rails. Bonus: 4) An afternoon nap! npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #bloomscrolling #rose Hybrid tea “Just Joey” fighting for space within an overgrown oleander. https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/519/859/676/104/156/original/c47c306207c08acd.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #photography #utah Wednesday, May 22 Catching Up 🌺 1. Glorious weather with just enough breeze to make these sunny days perfect to sit outside with birds, squirrels & jasmine. 2. New photos from vagabond son & DIL, hiking & rappelling in Capitol Reef NP, Utah. 3. Youngest granddaughter was lavished with honors last night at her high school senior assembly in NC (too far for Grandma to go). https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/485/783/711/552/012/original/c165ba962211fc5c.png https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/485/783/981/142/364/original/e65b7d7f1a8e3ed3.png https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/485/784/510/122/444/original/02673700b710fe68.png https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/485/784/792/107/434/original/37d31c7b70023860.png npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #bloomscrolling Sunday, May 19 🌺 1. Two-hour afternoon concert by our enthusiastic neighborhood mockingbird, a master in polyphony, with ballet interludes by squirrels & jays. 2. The hummingbird I spotted yesterday announced his official return with the customary hovering outside my screened slider, and roosting in his regular spot in a myrtle tree. 3. I snapped this photo scrambling my way through a dense, overgrown oleander to scatter birdseed. https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/469/888/126/927/008/original/7f5d025a1efc5317.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally Absolutely stunning…charming…lovely! ❤️😊 npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #bloomscrolling Friday, May 17🌺 1) Lazy, pleasant day even if it did include my monthly trek to the salon. 2) Today the two regular mallards were joined by a third on their zoom run over the yard. If this expansion continues, I’ll have a flock of 33 in a month. 😱 3) A few of the petunias I planted for color outside my slider, and my view from my permanent seat on the couch. (All reasons I rarely leave the house.) https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/459/498/816/646/409/original/9ad2fb0408ba12f6.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/459/498/989/358/171/original/b985aa23b2dd3dcd.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/459/534/714/085/809/original/f3080b00c6b68204.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Thursday, May 16🌺 1. Workmen are absent today from next door’s landscaping project & the silence is profound and welcome. 2. I have no idea of their home base or destination, but two big mallards have chosen my yard for a twice-daily, very fast fly through. 🦆🦆 3. Ate dinner for lunch (chicken thigh & rosemary fries) and fell back in love with the air fryer. npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally Fabulous! npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally Since irises are showing their beautiful faces now, here are two of my fave pics from a (genuinely) medieval garden at the Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud, Loire Valley, France. (Although their remains are absent, this is the original burial site of Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, etc.) #bloomscrolling #france https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/445/836/170/051/681/original/3289a32c4407f803.jpeg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/445/836/298/307/998/original/07ed42c4008623b6.jpeg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Tuesday, May 14🌺 1. Still exhausted from the last dinner I’ll ever host, but everything is cleaned up, including the dirty dishes I put away neatly in the cupboards. 🤬 (I thought I ran the dishwasher; it must have been a Vicodin dream.) 2. Granddaughter took the family’s first dip into NC son’s new pool, in the rain. 3. Vagabond son & DIL hiked 4 miles into Bryce Canyon at 8000’ elevation. Got some great photos & survived. Also survived the motorcycle ride to the national park. https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/441/732/787/018/590/original/93ab62018565564e.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/441/732/872/856/346/original/50f6007431fc51f5.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/441/732/941/566/325/original/ae5b9d0b85f116e7.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/441/733/015/865/417/original/bf3269471e0bf5e5.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally Congrats!

Saw a bit of the aurora late last night and discovered that the scent of jasmine perfumes the whole back garden. 2. Got the dining room cleared for tomorrow’s guests. (Not as easy as it sounds - it’s practically an Amazon annex.) 3. Making lime & thyme potato salad today, using my very own key limes. Sooo yum! 4. Bonus: More photos from vagabond son & DIL at Bryce Canyon NP, where it snowed a little on them yesterday (above 9100 feet). https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/424/069/567/738/113/original/3017d30c4039db83.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/424/086/570/159/164/original/14ee32313db75244.jpg npub15dh0znelg38l0vrwm6t5fwdflekglmmkhex837rckrqqn024fr4qvxzgau CynBlogger™️ 🏳️🌈 Ally #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings Friday, May 10🌺 1. Lovely visit with BFF x 51 years, and I didn’t have to cook! Gotta love someone who will eat leftover chicken tostada salad for breakfast. 2. Expecting this area’s “perfect weather” for a week - high 80’s - low 90’s, 48% humidity, sunny, & I have nothing to do but sit outside & enjoy it. 3. Vagabond son & DIL are very impressed with the beauty of Bryce Canyon NP.

Spent most of the day outside in the sun-sun-sunshine. Tomorrow’s forecast is 100% rain, likely an inch. 2. Thanked & encouraged all the rose bushes with a fertilizer treat. The first bloom is ending, but most will bloom again until Thanksgiving. 3. NC son filled his new pool for the first time (yay), and vagabond son & DIL began their tour of Utah’s national parks at Zion. https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/379/712/318/597/775/original/dda98b30602ab7a8.jpg https://files.sfba.social/media_attachments/files/112/379/712/477/366/062/original/007ba30fb75a5d2e.jpg
