A single photo, capturing a moment from the week.
A special moment. A moment I want to remember.

Chirp-Chirp-Chirp BirdHouse Notes

New iMac.

Who dis?

What I find hard to believe is that my Mac was 8 years old. I still have a hard time accepting that 8 years is "old," but that does seem to be the way these things go. I wore that poor thing out, apparently. Also, I think part of me was relieved/accepting of being away from a computer, blogging, sitting in an office, so I didn't even consider my options, or "now what??" Geoff did, though. And he made an order, then set this all up... and lo, is this thing shiny! As I jot down these words, my phone is unloading pictures into the fresh, new library. 2,503, is all. (In the months to come, will someone remind me that a clean monitor is a thing of beauty?)

A moment of silence, please, for my Mac. It is dying, and too sketchy to be of much use. I’m posting this from my phone, which is always a bit of a challenge. The bad news is I can’t blog or edit photos. The good news is... I can clean the kitchen, paint, ride my bicycle, and lay on my back and gaze up into the canopy of the pine trees. And I can say, “I miss my friends, and feeling at ease about the world, in general. I miss picnics in the park, exhibiting and mentoring, and making plans without hesitation, angst.” What do you miss?

If you cannot bear to consider politics, if you are done with sourdough starters, puzzles, you could join in me in the blessedly trivial and inconsequential consideration of stucco colors for the wall we are building. Blue house with white trim, facing a low, block wall around a raised bed with tall, grey pines, and green shrubs. White would never stay white. Yellows... no. I love and hate that I have this on my plate.

Also, I have taken to calling the area our National Park, my personal nature center, and I will be adding more California native plants. I am so eager for the days when we open the gate and invite people in. But what color to use on the wall?

Rest In Power, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

We mourn her passing, but we will not surrender our devotion to democracy. We must rise up, unite, and move forward. Register, and vote. Vote blue, down the ballot. Vote in every election, local, state, and federal. No one person will effect the progress we seek, reverse systems of racism, nor see justice done, so we must fill the seats, everywhere, with justice warriors, intelligent representatives, and we must speak out against tyranny, racism, inequity, and we must speak up for the environment, education, healthcare, and civil rights for all people.
