My daughter took this photo two days ago now and I’m still returning to it and giggling. I’m not sure why it’s so funny to me, but it is, 🤣.

I think it’s because that saguaro is huge (it’s one of the multi armed super tall ones) and the starling is so tiny…and entitled, 🤭.

Along with the original Thriller, I watch this every Halloween. AND I know all the lyrics (well, for this one, let's call my version..."lyrics") and moves to both, as well, 🤣🎃.
Thriller's way different than I remember, but I still dig it. 🧟 #Halloween 🎃

I'm at my desk writing. It's a sunny Saturday morning. Window's open. My local hummingbird is singing 3 feet away. My cat Neptune is on my lap, ka-ka-ka-ing at 3 quail strutting past the window. I have a peach cobbler baking in the oven, its aroma permeating the house.
Bliss. 😊
Bliss. 😊

Hey @DoveChocolate, what the heck are you guys on with these messages? I’m not stressed, hoping tomorrow is a better day or hiding away from my kids. I just like your chocolate. Chill out.
What happened to the happy upbeat messages?!?!?
