Evidently, I'm not the only one who thinks so.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

Melania’s latest “#BeBest if we no talk about my experience or educations” job.

Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress.

Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.

5:00 PM, the cottage kitchen:

An altogether glorious day!

This morning, I was pottering about, half-dressed.
Crowley burst in, grabbed my hand and said "Come here, angel. Wanna show ya somethin'!"

Despite wearing only my pants and a vest, I pulled on my waterproof boots and we raced outside.

11:03 PM, the cottage library:

Jotting a few notes in my journal before bed, and I've just had the realization that "primrose" is an anagram of "promiser."

Well.
How wonderful!

I bid you the loveliest of evenings, my dears.

Apparently there will be a White House Correspondents Dinner this year and supposedly Trump will be there.

The guy is gonna pal around with people he calls the enemy of the state, and the people whose job it is to supposedly speak truth to power are gonna laugh at his terrible jokes.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Rosemary, in purple bloom.

9:33 PM, the cottage lounge:

A day of quiet contemplation and gentle silliness, in equal measure.

Beside our front gate, the rosemary is blooming.
This bodes well, I believe.

3:33 PM, the cottage garden:

I confess that I am capable of being a bit too silly, or a touch giddy, or perhaps possibly slightly obsessive over the particular toasty beige of a really good biscuit...

But the World can be harsh and unforgiving at times, and I prefer not to look directly at it.

3:34, the cottage garden:

An exquisite day here, and it seems that every bird in the South Downs has converged in our garden!

Prism and Proust the Cat are lazing on the stone steps, basking in the sun in that melty, boneless way of relaxed cats.

A hand-holding stroll for us, talking of ponds.

2:45 PM, the cottage garden:

I have received an absolutely gorgeous message, which I would love to share with you:

"Hello. Sorry if this is a bit unorthodox or something you don't do..."

*you had me at "unorthodox," my dear!*

"...but I'd like to cheer up my friend."

Nice views tonight on our workshop! Finally have some respectable aurora :)

If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. This is a very patriotic act .

Several people asked for a new picture of Molly, aka the Thing of Evil. Here she is.

Just had a pretty incredible experience

THE CHILDREN, Melissa Albert: This is an extraordinary book. It's a page-turner, full of mystery, but that's the least of it. The language is dusted with magic. I haven't read anything like it since Ray Bradbury.
Will be published June 2nd. My advice: Be first in line.
