That part of Angels and Demons when they tear a page from Galileo's book makes the archivist in me scream in agony.

C'mon, copier, it's Friday! Just print already.

Good morning, @LnzyHou!
A good day so far?

@LlamaMountainStudioArts
Good morning!
My San Marzano tomatoes are growing!

Good morning, @Minholkin! Hope you are having a good one. Mountain laurel for you.

Good morning, @Mandypar! How is your Friday going?
I don't much care for the king's new portrait; looks like a chameleon.

Happy Friday!
A rainy one here, with high about 70. We are putting up the garden fence after work in the rain. Around here, I can't plant seeds without the fence.
That's the weather from the ancient VA Blue Ridge.
Be kind today.

Abide with me, 'tis eventide; the day is past and gone. The shadows of the evening flee, the night is coming on.

Nope, I'm really sure I didn't shed on the rug ... why do you ask?

But then I saw that you are NOT feeling better -- sigh. I am so sorry; wish I lived closer to help out.

Good morning (it's 11:59 a.m., so still morning)!
Hope your Monday is going well.

Fully compassionate God on high:
To our six million brothers and sisters
murdered because they were Jews,
grant clear and certain rest with You
in the lofty heights of the sacred and pure
whose brightness shines like the very glow of heaven.

Good morning, @Mandypar!
The birds are singing happily this morning. I have seen bluebirds in our dooryard, which is exciting. We put up bluebird houses several years ago hoping to have them near the garden to eat bugs.
How is your morning?

Do you say it pea-On-y or pea-oh-NY?
Beauty for @Minholkin who shares beauty with us.

Good Monday morning!
Cloudy and humid today with a high of 82 F. Showers and thunderstorms around; 85 % chance of rain.
It's 62 F now, so maybe a sweater and bumbershoot.
That's the weather from the ancient VA Blue Ridge.
Let's be kind today.

May the 4th be with you.
And also with you.

Raccoons are smart. The first week they learned how to unlatch the door on the composter, so I put a locking ring on it.
The ring still gives about 3 inches, and look at the mess two fat trash pandas can make with 3 inches of give on the door! There's not much food visible because they ate it.
So I put the compost in the wheel barrow, pulled the stakes, laid down chicken wire, and created a special barrier in front of the door.
Take that, you wiley racoons!
