this for later when you have time....^^^^

Spring is sproinging and we all act  surprised that the climate has taken on new meaning. In the 1960's we were told that climate change caused by humans / gas would become  reality in our lifetimes. That is a long time to be sitting on this information and not doing anything to change the dilemma. Too late now, but it is getting our attention. We made a stab at it during the turn on tune in and drop out phase, living on the land off the grid in harmony with nature, non consumerism that was the lovely hippie era. I will never fault us for that rational, sensible, socialist democratic era. It did not last - I bought a 60's VW bug for $100.00- got hooked on the convenience and speed of 40 MPH tops and the quarter tank of gas that could get me up the hill...

Last evening on the deck I watched a mother bird feed her baby. When the mother flew off to get more wormy dinner for her baby, the little one waited for her but got bored . It stared to pluck all of the blossoms from the cherry and watched as they fell. Cutest thing i have seen all week. Pleased with its pile of blossoms on the deck- "job well done".

 

Stella and I went out for lunch. New ownership and a new decorator that , we both agreed, chose light fixtures that did not fit. Especially the large black granny shades over the hanging  bulb.  The seats are so soft that the table came up to our chins. BUT the chowder was great and at that height we could just scoop it in.

Stella gave the orphans a whole bunch of new dresses, Vintage and hand made and cuter than they look in this shot of some of them, there were more dresses than orphans. They came with the usual thoughtful easter basket from our Stella, full of chocolate bunnies and eggs and an easter elf. She is too good that Stella!

Night before last i tried to make hot cross buns.

They are tasty but I forgot the salt and the cross part only worked on two  of them. Trial run.

I will make them again tomorrow to take to Son's house for that Sunday when bunnies and eggs and chickies are celebrated.

Hyacinths are up in the front yard. Purple ones are just coming up - that is your hyacinth report for the day.

From the deck with my point and shoot, plump moon face sings its "OHHHHH" song. And then night fell.

Not bad for a point and shoot. Even the sparkly bits of moon that are taller than the dark bits showed well. 

Came in as the night got colder- watched "The Story Of Europe" , a DOC presented by Sir Christopher Clark. He is a good presenter and the series was worth the binge though the acted bits of history were laughable- acting so poor one might think it was done by a christian film maker. The history , of course, is terrible and chock full of testosterone, ego-centrism, greed, religion and war. There are no female influencers,  yeah, a queen here and there but only for short spells, and they did not have penises with which to duel. big surprise! The patriarchy has damned near destroyed us  , give them another five minutes and the job will be done.   However, our governor has just done a marvelous thing- State purchase of three-year supply of mifepristone to protect access to medical abortion.  Perhaps in three years this nation will have come to some sensible realization that Roe V Wade was one of the best things to ever happen for Women's health and care.  If the orange thug is eliminated , marched through the streets as poo is flung,  and the states  of brain/spirit disease  (maga) , find a remedy for their illnesses, we might be able to live another day to enjoy cherry blossoms, baby bird shenanigans, and the round face of the moon.  I dunno, too optimistic?

Also a  bit of  good news, basic flip phones  on fleek at the moment!  A backlash against cell phones owning our population especially the youth who have been made mentally /emotionally compromised, dangerously so, due to constant , steady use of cell  phones plugged into social media. Flip phones may call or text but nothing fancy, like making the user mentally ill, suicidal or feeling anxiety every waking moment.  Flip phone , deff my choice!
