Halt. Who goes there?

Due to pollen levels and tree seed pods, tassels, etc., the cover is still on the pool. Some mornings we can plainly see who has been visiting in the night.

A pair of tiny toads

A frog and a wandering bug

A raccoon crossing the frog's trail

And, of course, a cat

Yesterday I happened upon this little garter snake in the rosemary bush digesting her lunch. She's only about 7 or 8 inches long. If you look closely, you can see the aforementioned lunch.

Saying it again

Gandhi once declared that it was his wife who unwittingly taught him the effectiveness of nonviolence. Who better than women should know that battles can be won without resort to physical strength? Who better than we should know all the power that resides in noncooperation?
~Barbara Deming

If you use violence, you have to sell part of yourself for that violence. Then you are no longer a master of your own struggle.
~César Chávez

~Mr. Miyagi

All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
~Jalal al-Din Rumi

Batman: "Go back outside and calm the flower children."
Robin: "They'll mob me!"
Batman: "Groovy."

Money alone will not bring happiness. But it is better to cry in a taxi than on a streetcar.
~Marcel Reich-Ranicki

People can be slave ships in shoes.
~Zora Neale Hurston

You don't lose dignity by being a child.
