I’m enamored with the Jimi Hendrix Park in Seattle. The park also houses the National African American Museum where I enjoyed the Luther Vandross exhibit and the Railroad Workers display (my family has a long transit workers history). #blackhistory #jimihendrix #NAAMSeattle

Relaxing at the ‘Ranch’
Warm breezes. Longer days. Playful squirrels. Busy bees. Soaring birds. Lavender, apples, oregano in bloom.
Spring is glorious!
Today I cleared the patio so I could enjoy Nature at its best.
Peace. Solitude. Divine.

The upcoming total lunar eclipse will not be visible from Africa (I’m 😞 to learn). But it will be visible for quite a while in some other regions. Enjoy!
The total lunar eclipse tonight will be the last until New Year's Eve 2028
After this 'blood moon,' our natural satellite will not fully disappear into Earth's shadow again for nearly three years — until a rare trifecta of total lunar eclipses in 2028–29 ends the drought.

I've noticed a few things since traveling abroad ...
1. a passport replaces all IDs.
2. credit score is NOT a thing.
3. renting an apt is both easy and complex.
4. it's colder in Africa than we think.
5. amazon charges way less for prime.
6. america is not the promised land.

Just wrapped up communication with a new steam client. About to enjoy a stuffed cabbage rolls gifted by my neighbor, and a cup of hibiscus tea. Good food, healing herbs, and helping others are three of my favorite things.
