Boomer, age 13.5, is now post-back surgery (a disk issue) by more than 6 years and doing well. While standing still his rear feet aren’t quite where they should be.

It’s Father’s Day but my maternal grandmother Violet was born on this date in 1886.
Venus and Jupiter are visible now. Don’t look at my crappy iPhone 14 Pro photo. Go outside.
10pm Friday from SE Boise, Venus and Jupiter. Mercury is below and behind the trees.
On the greenbelt Monday am across the river from the destroyed eagle nest.
Went to the Sunday matinee to see this at Boise Little Theater. 5 Stars. It closes June 6th. They all did a great job.
I just got a text saying that at least one adult survived but the eaglets did not. This nest is near the west end of the Bethine Church Nature Trail on the north side of the river with the golf course behind it. Is there another nest at Marianne Williams Park? Photo from earlier days.
Tuesday 9:39pm, SE Boise. The Moon with Jupiter left and above and Venus below and right. Best view of these 3 should be June 6.
Two iPhone 14 Pro photos of tonight’s Moon-Venus conjunction, while the sky was still blue. Someone with a real camera could have gotten a better shot.
