Crazy old lady, prone to photos of cats and other natural wonders. Oregon Duck Football, NYT Spelling Bee and other games. Petmom to Spencer, my precocious young cat.

I got two rows but gave up because I couldn’t see any way to connect the rest.

In the garden today ... It's HOT! That's good for this Rudbeckia plant that is bursting with buds, but none open yet. Sorry for the unfocused pollinator, but they rarely stay still long enough for me to get a good focus.

LOL I have to agree, but somehow he does that fairly often. I've always contended that cats are liquid, and it probably helps that he's young.

Spencer has rejected any efforts I've made with a bigger basket. He is very attached to the old one.

The big one has been on my car for years. I see so many yard signs around here that are similar, but since I don't have a yard I found the decal. The flag just makes me feel better.

And he writes it so well --- simple, clear, no jargon, easy to follow and understand. Back in 2003-2004 I was seeking a meditation style, tried several. Found a VCR of his in the Corvallis library where he explained Vipassana meditation, and I was hooked immediately, never looked back.

Eugene shares a legal border with Springfield but it’s really more like one city. Springfield has no such ban. But at least it cuts down on the neighborhood fireworks.

I don’t know why I got so unsteady on it. I’d been riding in Georgia with no problems but after returning to Eugene 10 years ago I noticed it fairly quickly, and it got worse. I bought a new bike thinking its design would help, but I never adjusted to it. I had a good run!

Fireworks are banned here, but that doesn’t stop some people from popping some off.

I wish I could! I sold my bike a couple of years ago because I no longer had the balance to ride comfortably. I crashed once, and that was enough. Nothing injured but my ego, fortunately. I had a good 50 years or so with a good bike and open roads, though!

I used to do that (riding like I stole it) frequently, back in the day. Riding as fast as I could and for as long as I could -- great way to work off frustrations. Plus, I love it.

Look forward to seeing your 'crazy hotdog'! We're not supposed to be too hot today, around 90, but over 100 for the next four days, at least. Not looking forward to that. Enjoy the lake time -- I know you will.

I would, if I had one. I cannot keep anything ice cream-related in the house because I would eat it all within an hour. I have zero self-control when it comes to ice cream!

It's sad that our flag has been taken over by the 'other side'. Tired of being frustrated about it, I placed a new decal on my car, right next to one that's decidedly not connected to the 'other side'. #TakeBackTheFlag

Pretty blossoms. I grew potatoes once many years ago in Atlanta. They were just plain potatoes and I somehow dug them all up while they were still small. Best potatoes I've ever had, though! All food tastes better garden-fresh.

I know what you mean. I'm pretty stoic most of the time, but this is getting to me. I hope you have fun plans for today -- looks like great weather!

He loves that basket, has slept in it since he was a baby and refuses to give it up. He actually can curl up and fit mostly inside it. I’ve tried replacing it with larger ones, but he doesn’t like that.

This is actually a common position for him. I had to go get the phone and fortunately he didn’t move when I walked past. He’s a character.

That’s not a bad idea. This place is full of cats. One of them is not much older than he is.

They are long gone! He’s matured enough (some days) that they aren’t needed.

Somebody's in a fighting mood again. I walk past and 'swat', claws grabbing my clothes. He dares, I ignore. And laugh. #spencer

He's done that since he was little. It was a bit unnerving at first -- he will sit there like that for quite awhile, just staring -- but I've gotten used to it. Sometimes it's actually a good reminder that I've missed feeding time, but that wasn't the case yesterday.

Couldn't believe I missed it. It's a common Bee word, and I generally do see it. Crazy.
