New Day Cafe - Saturday: Above and Below [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2024-06-22  

Good morning, Newdists. Hope you are well and enjoyed a peaceful Solstice day. Summer has begun. How are you feeling about that?

I went out for a half hour yesterday, in the yard, and acquired 4 ticks. Picked them off when I found them after I came inside and, yes, killed them. Ugh. Also, the mosquitos now know I live here. 😒

Are you a mosquito and tick magnet as well, Newdists?

Some photos of the Solstice — the sunset and the moonrise —

Your Cafe’s eagle —

x Happy American Eagle Day!



On June 20th, 1782 the bald eagle was selected as our national symbol on the Great Seal of the United States. This holiday is meant to not just celebrate, but also raise awareness about this amazing species. pic.twitter.com/tPZZKmsDLm — World Bird Sanctuary (@WBSSTL) June 20, 2024

x Well, this happened again 😁



I don’t believe there’s any injury to the raccoon’s back paws as other cameras caught it walking normally on all fours all around the garden and down the drive. pic.twitter.com/YqXA9xUPn2 — Sue (@CameraTrapSue) June 19, 2024

Newdists, please grab a cuppa, a plate of food and join us in the thread —
