Can't *blame* that.... ,-)

 (My husband's old 1950 Chevy Truck)

Now I know that the Dark of The Moon is not until June 5th...  I was thinking that it had to have been this past weekend.  -grin-  Because I was "blowing my stack" quite easily.

.

Had waited all day Saturday, for the evening Mets game!  "Thor" (Noah Syndergaard) was pitching.  The '86 Mets were honored, before this game.  

And the umpire threw Noah out of the game.  For pitching behind a batter, from the other team.  This player had made a dirty slide, into another Met player, last year, and broke his leg, which ended his (Met player's) career.   If Noah had wanted to hit him, he could have.  This behind-his-back throw was a necessary "pay back" for hurting his team mate.  In baseball, you DO this.  Duhhhh....

That ejection "ticked me off" big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Grrrrrr.............

.

Then, on Sunday, the downstairs toilet backed up!  Funnnnnnn.....  Nottttt.....  Grrrrrr.....

 .

And someone in blogging ticked me off tooooooo!!!!!   (See this post)  And the fun just kept happening.  Actually it all began, last Friday night.  But can not put that, in my blog.   >,-)))))))))

.

And that is why I thought there must be "something", blowing my cool.  But, no Dark of The Moon to blame.  :-)

Actually, The Dark of The Moon is cool...!!!!

"Sorry......." "Nothing much, going on here............"

Guess I should begin with.....   "Sorry, there's nothing deep here..."  No soul searching, or brilliant views of the world in general...   No out of place comments on another country's political life.   Not really much, in the way of photos, even.  Just flowers at a Garden Place...   And some fabric, I got....  No deep thoughts.   

Nope, nothing much  going on here.  Just same old, same old blogging......
.

And btw, I am not referring to "The Dark Side of The Broom" here.  If I could write like she does, I'd be writing reams, every single day.  !!!!!!!!!!  I love how she writes!!!!!

.

Just, some wild material I got today.  And it is destined for a silly place, for wild material.   But hey!   It's my home.  I can do as I wish.  >,-)

.

Mmmmm, is Mercury in retrograde or something???  Things/people "tick-me-off" big time.   I have been ready to "fly"!  For a couple of days.  With or without my broom!!!

Downstreet, to eat....... :-)

Wednesday, we went to our favorite restaurant, down street.  This time we had individual pizzas.  Mine close up and his, across from me. 

.

It was early for dinner, and we had a window right in the front part of the restaurant.  Where we could "people watch", and still be inside.  It was a beautiful day, but the wind was blowing quite a bit, on the outside eating area, on the deck.  This was the "best of both worlds".

.

And this is a closeup of my Gluten Free pizza!  Yes, it was delicious!  And the crust was not toooooo crisp.  Perfect!  And I told our server to tell the chef.  :-)

Most G/F pizzas I have had, the crust is way too crisp for my liking.   Hooray for this one!!!

How to emabrace a not-so-sunny-day... :-))))

It is gray today....

The sun was struggling to peek through the clouds and the trees...

But I found a lovely little bunch of wild violets....

I will try to embrace the gray and overcast day, as Guinever von Sneeden does.  She loves a gray and misty day. :-)  Above is a screen capture of her lovely site.  

A delight for the senses...   Even with lovely music, to accompany her delightful little videos.  :-)

If she can love a day like this, she can show me how to do so also.  We can't have bright, sunny days, all the time.  And yes, they do make us feel more perky.  Well, most of us that is.  :-)   I'm sure she is not the only one, who embraces less sunny days.

Please, do  visit her, by clicking here.  Her life is very different than mine.   Than many.   But it's a delightful place to pop into.  It's really "another world."  She actually does live "in a Faerie Tale."  :-)))))

She also had a lovely blog (Slender Nettles), but has not updated it, in a few weeks.  With luck, she will begin again, there.  But meantime, there is the link I leave, above.  Where you can pop in, for daily delights.  :-)))))

Please and thank you....

Rainy day.... Baking day......

Rainy morning here...  Seems like it will be a good day, to use our spring rhubarb, in baking.  My husband always loves a Rhubarb Pie in the spring.  But after being in hospital, with pancreas, he really has to eat low fat.   Now my homemade crust, is delicious, but it is not low fat.   

So....  I figure I will make him a "little pie."  A galette.  Which is still my pastry...  Still the rhubarb pie filling.   But smaller.  :-)

And with the rest, we can make rhubarb sauce.  To put over other things.

This is a veggie dinner we had recently.  Sauteed mushrooms and squash.  Fiddle Head Ferns.  Fresh asparagus.  :-)

An avacado, pear, and banana, which I had on my island.  Just a pretty little, and healthy little, centerpiece.  :-)

.

Hope some of you, were able to see the Full Flower Moon last night.  I saw it, on Friday night.  But we were overcast, last night.

Tonight is the Full Flower Moon..........

Tonight is the Full Flower Moon.  As well as being a Blue Moon too.

"We use Full Moon names that were used during Native American and Colonial times to help track the seasons. Depending on the tribe, May’s Full Moon was called the Full Flower Moon as well as Mother’s Moon, Milk Moon, and Corn Planting Moon. The May Moon marked a time of increasing fertility with temperatures warm enough for safely bearing young, a near end to late frosts, and plants in bloom."   source

I hope that you will be able, to view it tonight, in your area.  :-)

A topic, which never grows old...... ,-)

How we interact in social media???  The topic never grows old.  Because there are always new forms of social media, to become enamored of.  And someone is always saying, that blogging is dying.  Etc.  Etc.  Etc.

~~~

The only forms I am in, are blogging and IG.  And I do see the lure and fun, of IG.  A quick picture...  A bit about it..  Maybe just Good Morning, or Good Night...  And you are posted.

~~~

Then you visit your lovely IG-found-friends, and click on "Like".  Or click on "Like" and also leave a short little "comment", and your IG time is done.  Quick, easy, covering all the bases of interaction, in social media.  It is a nice place.  

But for me, thoughts and words (and a couple of pretty pictures), have always been my first love.  Blogging is the place, for that.  Of course you can only leave a picture and a few words, or a quote, in blogging too...  And have a post.  A quick post, by the way.   Which seems more and more the norm, of people's busy lives.  And I have been falling into that rut.  Quick.  Not daily.  So no one has to spend too much time, here.

~~~

But, if thoughts/words are my first choice, why not indulge in them?  It's my blog.  If people want to take the time, to read...  Wonderful.   If not, that's fine too.  I am not running a popularity contest here.  I am not selling anything.  Numbers should not make any difference.  Doing what I want to do, with my blog, should be the norm.

~~~

And now, what are your views on this whole topic, of interaction in social media?  You must have views.  You are  in social media right now, with reading here.  :-)  Will you please share, with us?   Please and thank you.

Violets... And a change... :-)

Our grand son cut our lawns, yesterday.  But these didn't get cut.  Because they are along a rock edging.  :-)  So glad, because,  I hate to lose my violets. 

.

We don't drink much.  We love our glass of wine, in the evening.  And our Manhattans on Saturday night.

But!  After he was in hospital, with pancreatic attack, that has to change.  There are 2 causes of pancreatic trouble .  Gall Bladder, and his has been out, for years.  And consumption of alcohol.

So.... No more drinking at all.  If he had to stop, I have stopped too.

And that is why you see the jolly bottle of Sparkling Cider above!  -grin-  Not gonna' be like wine or a Manhattan.  But it will have to do.  :-)))))  Health is more important.
