 well, this happened...

here kitty kitty

this tree is two blocks north and six blocks east of here 

and, for the record, about the same distance from an elementary school 

he/she hung out in the tree till the tranq gun showed up...

snore

SNORE

mountain lions belong in the high mountains - not in the heavily-populated-by-humans suburbs on the plains - if he/she comes back from being relocated, he/she will be destroyed 

and THAT is on everyone who claims that climate change is a hoax

resistance sisterhood

we had to buy two of these - one for me and one for she - cuz i'm bad at sharing...

princess spy rebel diplomat senator general 

they are our protest glasses ... after showing up and exercising our First Amendment rights, these are filled with ice cold Dr. Pepper Cream Soda pop and raised in a toast to Freedom, Democracy, Justice and Truth...

 it's a sweet reward, lemmetellya...

may the Force be with you 

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

ugh...

putting that together was absolutely no fun

  especially since it involved the A word - i do detest doing applique 

whose bright idea was that tree in the middle?

 oh yeah, it was mine ... sheesh

close ups of the border

bruisers

not cruisers...

cute shoes, huh?!? 

that heel is 5 and a quarter inches (13.5cm) from the ground 

yes, and they add more than 5 inches to a five foot frame (not mine - i'm not short, i'm average)

they used to go great with a little navy blue dress - but that was twenty pounds years ago and they went from being a cute accessory to just taking up space ... they were headed for the VVA donation box when someone who shall remain anonymous but her initials are Melissa decided that she still needed them to give her enough height to water some of her indoor plants without using the step stool

one of many  - on the mend

and that worked till her ankles decided that they'd had enough and down she went ... no doubt, the donation box it is...

rest easy, dear Dolly

 

and know that i will always love you
