It warmed up and rained. All the snow that was hanging around since early November is gone. Now people are all worried -- will we not have a white l Christmas?

Personally, I would like to see a white car. I hate that slush covered look both inside and outside of my car.

I put my Santas on the mantle. I have some lights in the windows. I have decided I will not bother to put up the tree this year.

I used to have an android phone that would automatically upload my photos to my MacBook Air. Now I have an iphone so you wouldn't think it would be a problem, but you'd be wrong. I cannot get my iphone and my MacBook to acknowledge each other's existence. Annoying!

I need to sit down with my grandson and have him teach me how to use my stupid phone.

I finally got around to reading Michelle Obama's book, Becoming. I miss the Obamas SO much.

I doubt that Trump will be removed from office although I definitely think he should be. He is a very damaged individual. That makes him dangerous. I simply cannot fathom what his supporters are thinking and I am usually pretty good at seeing both sides. This has me stumped. All I see is irony. Like Melania with her anti-bully campaign -- ultimate irony.

    Irony is hard and hot and not to be dealt with lightly. I have Michelle's book as an e-book, but not yet read.

    I agree completely. How she can be married to him. How people I know and like can support him. I just find it all baffling.

    The photos transfer through iCloud. I would assume a Mac book is hooked up to the iCloud, but that's what to check.
    I thought Michelle's book was good, not great. I guess I wanted more.
    Irony is too nice a word.

    what? not in Florida this year?
    Curious you leaving Android to go to iPhone. I never hear anything positive about the iPhone except it's very expensive. I hope you getting working soon. I know how frustrating technology is! I too don't think they will toss the orange bastard. And we wonder why kids think they can behave badly? Our leaders do. No one does the right thing anymore.

    I wonder how my family members and some friends can just turn blind eyes to the man. They see no wrong. Do we have better vision?

      Obviously we do have better vision (and I need cataract surgery).

    I don't think Trump will be removed from office, because there aren't enough votes to get rid of him. Boy, how does he manage to get up to go to work? If I were him, I would have quit my job by now. Too stressful for me.

    He (and several of the Democratic contenders) are retirement age. I cannot imagine why they all want such a stressful job at this stage of life. Or any time really, but somebody has to do it.

    I'd happily send you some snow and cold if I could.

    As for Trump, as a Canadian I probably have no right to chime in, but he is darn right scary. It is so difficult to understand how anyone sees him as anything other than corrupt and self serving.

    I’m so used to the PC that when I bought a MacBook Air, I just couldn’t get used to it. My son-in-law finally said I might as well give up and loaded a windows program on it. My son, on the other hand, thinks I should have tried harder to understand it the apple program. Sigh....

    And as for Trump...
    Can you believe he would attack Greta Thunberg because she got on the Time cover? He is such a childish bully!

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
