The spider saw its shadow. Does that mean six more weeks of spring?

Sasha: “To break in the brown striped bag, or not break in the brown striped bag? That is the comfy question!”

My Voice Voice Goes Unheard
Lyrics and Music by Timothy Price. Vocals by Teagan Riordain Geneviene.
I reworked the melody and music for A Blue Psalm that I wrote several years ago with the help of AI to create My Voice Goes Unheard. I had Teagan, at Teagan’s Books, in mind to sing it for me, and she graciously agreed. The song works much better with Teagan’s vocals.

“Like wow, man! I see all kinds of groovy colors. Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Strawberry fields forever. I smell incense and peppermints. I feel like flowers and beads waving in the summer breeze, making me feel fine. Like I’m In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida at 25 or 6 to 4. I’m being covered by a purple haze giving me an excuse to kiss the sky.”
Spunk. Those are not magic mushrooms on that box making you halucinate. Have you been looking at my playlist?

Duo Cheezo
When Glenda eats cheese, she licks as much out or more of the dish as she eats. I put the dish I use to cover the cheese in front of Glenda to catch her mess and put it back into the bowl when she’s done. Loki figured out he could eat Glenda’s spillover instead of butting in on Marble’s cheese. When Marble was finished, Silver joined Loki.
Zipper Season
High winds from this storm last night broke a huge branch off Teagan’s tree, pulled the lower powerline to within inches of our fence, and the lines started arching in the trees. My neighbor alerted me of the problem early this morning. Fire department staff stood out and watched the cottonwoods south of the broken branch catching fire and going out from the arcing powerline into late afternoon before the tree trimmers showed up to cut the tree back.
The branch is on the right. It’s hard to see between the irrigation ditch and our fence in the bamboo. The branch is about 12 inches (30.48 cm) thick.
A zipper spider blocked one of the deck doors last night. She had packed up and moved on when I checked on her this morning.
