Morning Lucille! I appreciate flowers more as I get older. I am fascinated and enchanted by the delightful arrangement you can make with her different colors, sizes, and types of them. I like doing that, and I wish I could get a part time job in a florist shop because I can’t fill my house up.
It’s hard to find small florists these days. They have prettier, fresher flowers. Their livelihood depends on being better than the larger chain stores that carry flowers, too.
Good morning, Menagerie! I may have mentioned this before, but on my last job, my boss had flowers delivered to his office every Monday. One of my tasks was to arrange them in a crystal Baccarat vase. Since I didn’t want them to go to waste, any flowers still in good shape on Monday morning were made into bouquets for the support staff members. Those flowers not in good shape were put in a box to dry out and from those I made even more arrangements. Loved that part of my job.
Good mornin’, and happy Friday eve! It’s late in the week, and everyone is getting a little edgy, so, it’s DIY day. Pick your bean, pick your brand, just don’t pick your n….. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee.
Not only do we have to watch stupid people try to take a picture with the bison, apparently, a lot of ’em are kinda clumsy, but at least they finally heed the park ranger and don’t attempt to pick up their mess.
Well, I am on the side of the people who say that the Demoncraps are trying to slow down the AI development because Trump is President and will make all kinds of rules they don’t want. Because, they want to be able to control AI and use it for themselves.

President Trump on Wednesday threatened Canada and the European Union with “very heavy tariffs” or an end to all trade amid the EU’s plans to welcome Canada as a member.
The move could extend Trump’s trade war with Canada to the EU. Trump has slapped 50% tariffs on Canadian goods and plans to ban some Canadian industries from importing to the US.
