This line up is a gem.

Folks, could it be stove touching time?

Taking this as confirmation McConnell is dead or incapacitated and they're down 2 senators.

I have never had bees take over a hummingbird feeder before.

Howdy all! I was up waaaay too late watching the slow drama at the Kennedy Center. After all the time it took to build the scaffold it took about 30 minutes to pull the letters off. Scaffold & curtains still up, MS NOW still streaming. No Kings!

Meme: Marge from the Simpsons says Have you been up all night watching scaffolding?
Reference to all the folks on BlueSky who watched livestreams of The Kennedy Center hoping to see trmp's name removed, but just saw hours of a scaffold being built and curtains put up to hide the removal.

Happy Caturday. You don't need to be at the beach to relax. #caturday #cats

A fluffy brown tabby cat lounges on his back along human legs. His front paws are curled up and almost invisible in his fur. His back legs are splayed open and his tail is stretched out. His belly looks very inviting and he would love a belly rub. But the look on his face is all "wut?" One human foot in a black wool clog is visible.

New Mexico's own Lone Piñon, tearing it up at Winrock Park in Albuquerque. Old Hispanic dance tunes with love and new energy. Brings joy.

Henry Cortez y los Heartaches. These kids are fabulous. Bilingual New Mex party bangers. If Buddy Holly had grown up in Española instead of Lubbock. They started with Wooly Bully. This is the band Lone Piñon chose to open for them.

Henry Chavez y los Heartaches l. Young men in gray suits and ties, rocking their hearts out. Outdoor stage, unusually overcast skies. One happy couple updancing

Howdy all! As usual, trying to get THINGS done. Mostly failing. Planting trees tomorrow, Chisos oak & Autumn Glow maple. Rain after would be wonderful. Sucess and healing for all who need it. Here's a bee sleeping in a prickly pear cactus bloom. Wouldn't you like to sleep in a flower?

Meowdy all, for Caturday, my 3 in their 1st, brief, close proximity. Only lasted 5 minutes, but progess! I've been planting lots of native flowers & shrubs + an Afgan pine, a Chisos oak and an Autumn Glow maple hybridized at NMSU to be tolerant of heat, cold, wind & drought. 🤞. I'm tired!

3 cats, a fluffy brown tabby, a black&white cow kitty & a black asteroid are uneasily lounging near each other. Human legs in green pants are also visible. This is the closest these cats have been to each other since tge asteroid joined the household 3 months ago. It lasted 5 minutes.

Squee, there's a bee! Sleeping in a prickly pear cactus flower. Early evening 1 photo taken with the flash. 1 photo taken without.

It's been another awful day in America. Here's a cat being weird for your entertainment

PonderOsa@rockintheroad· May 19

I dropped a little cactus, floofy cat immediately lay on top of the dirt. Was he trying to help clean up? Or just liked it? Is he innocent or guilty @darthbluesky.bsky.social ?

Floofy tabby cat lounges on a spill of dirt. Cat, dirt and floor are various shades of brown. Is he helping or hindering? Yawning or laughing?

After I got my new cactus home I dropped it. The Chaos Cat immediately helped out by lounging in the loose dirt.

A fluffy tabby cat lounges on dirt spilled from a dropped plant container. The cat is brown, so is the dirt and the floor. The white thing is a lap desk. The cat looks at you in perfect innocence, happy that you created a nice bed for him.

A local tire store found the tiny sliver of metal causing a slow leaked, and fixed the popped-out section of my back bumper unasked, all for free. And they gave me a baby Claret Cup cactus!
