I have a floral wreath on my door. It has blue hydrangeas and green leaves on it. I think some birds have started to build a nest in it.

Getting lost in Samson et Dalila. Lush music. The original story was about lust. Samson for her and Delilah for money. Not so dramatic. The opera is about love. Admittedly, it’s one sided, but his love for her seems genuine given the nature of the music.

Two more opera reviews came in. The Chronicle was a mixed review, focusing more on the opera rather than the performances, as is appropriate for a work that hardly anyone knows. We don't often get reviewed in the Chronicle, just for new are rare repertoire, so the publicity is welcome. Another blogger also came in with a rave review. I haven't seen anything from Classical Voice yet, but maybe that's just as well given their recent track record with reviewers.

Congratulations on the good reviews. A rave is always appreciated.

One thing I noticed while weeding is that loquats are beginning to form on the tree. Looks like there will be some fruit this year. I’m already thinking of loquat cobbler or pie.

Yes, to mix a metaphor, I am counting my loquats before they’re hatched.

I find that the loquats are better than the highquats.

And so now my facebook account is linked to another email and password.....and facebook is completely unhelpful in trying to resolve the problem.

UNHELPFUL f###ers.

They will not let me log in or correct what someone else is doing.

SO if you are receiving messages from me on FACEBOOK that are more weird than usual.....it is not me.

AND F U Facebook for not helping in resolving the problem.

Does this mean that you don't have a new dream car made possibly by your Bitcoin advisor?

I received my Girl Scout Cookies order this morning.

My order contained the usual suspects:  Thin Mints (2 boxes), Do-Si-Dos (2) plus Tagalongs (1) and Adventurefuls (1).



I thought Adventurefuls were new.  I've never had one.

They are new to me.  I bought one box...but I haven't tried one yet.

I have started a western called Butcher’s Crossing. Nicolas Cage is okay, but everything else is hopelessly cliched.

I have heard from security people that the one app you should delete from your phone is Facebook.

I don't have the app anymore.  I had it for a short while, but I just prefer using a browser, even on my phone.

Do you have to sign in every time you use it?

No.  I set my browser to remember passwords and automatically log in.

Ginny! Thank you for the beautiful handmade card! I forgot to check the mail when I got home and just found it!

It was so kind of you to make this for us!

I wonder now why I even keep Facebook. I don't post often.


Do you still check the messages there, though?

Do you mean messenger?


Yes, in case someone has sent a private message.

I have a separate messenger app on my phone.

I do have the Messenger app, but that's just for directly texting Facebook friends.
