jeanoappleseedGood morning from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pasadena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pasadena</a> where it’s cool and gloomy. Had a bit of rain earlier, but that seems to be over now.Moses & I still managed to hit La Crescenta Valley Dog Park early this AM for some serious ball-retrieving, his favorite! Not sure we'll be as lucky tomorrow because it sounds like rain starting overnight. We go to the dog park Sunday, Monday, Thursday atm. Always La Crescenta. The other days we walk.Here is one of my neighbour’s bird of paradise flower, in the driveway.I have had more blooms on my own plants also this year (in the dog area), so I got to examine them closer as they open, both during cold or hot weather. The latter really speeds up the process and really allows the flower to fully bloom, revealing its complete self. The orange parts are called sepals I believe and the blue darts are a combination petal & stamen which is also a perch for birds. I used to think there was a single stamen, but it's because it's cool here when flowers open so they don't always open fully. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LiveAndLearn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LiveAndLearn</a> For info, this is a very interesting page: <a href="https://digitalbotanicgarden.blogspot.com/2011/04/bird-of-paradise-flower-strelitzia.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://digitalbotanicgarden.blogspot.com/2011/04/bird-of-paradise-flower-strelitzia.html</a>

jeanoappleseedGood morning fr <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pasadena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pasadena</a>. Went to <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LaCrescentaValleyDogPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaCrescentaValleyDogPark</a> again this AM. Last minute decision bc tomorrow Saturday, husband has weight watchers at 7 &I cannot leave Finn alone :(After only 10 minutes <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MosesTheServiceDog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MosesTheServiceDog</a> was quite tired from the running. Not a lot of other dogs, but he loves the running!I'm personally really enjoying this new dog park. I'm glad I no longer go to the Pasadena Park; too much upset, disappointment, and other issues there. It's becoming a trigger so I cannot go there for safety reasons… PLUS it's much more social that sometime I find it can become overbearing. This is a BIG change I've made to avoid meltdowns: changing dog parks. When a situation is out of control (like issues with dog park hours and lack of maintenance), but complaining makes Pasadena employees & management hostile, it's unsafe because of triggers. My complaints are fair and do not deserve hostility.Triggers can create an unsafe situation for <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActuallyAutistic</a> people due to the high risk of emotional meltdown. And I've found out the hard way in SoCal that most southern Californians, when confronted with an <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AutisticMeltdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutisticMeltdown</a>, resort to aggression and hostility. So it becomes plain dangerous. Californians aren't as relaxed as they claim to be. They are just like New Yorkers except pretending to be chill.

jeanoappleseedGood morning from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pasadena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pasadena</a>. Gorgeous cool morning after a very hot day yesterday (35°C/95°F); but should be much cooler today with 29°C (84°F) and the last hot day of this mini heatwave. Up early. Moses walked in Historic Highlands neighborhood this morning. Now off for a little gardening before it warms up too much.

jeanoappleseedGood morning from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pasadena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pasadena</a>. Beautifully ☀️ this morning and currently 16°C (61°F). Forecast high: 27°C (81°F). Waiting for husband to return from picking up prescription and some groceries, then heading to La Crescenta dog park with Moses. Husband was at hospital again yesterday which totally wore me out so I went back to bed after feeding the dogs this morning and only getting started now, after 10 AM.While I wait for husband to return, I am watching the hummingbirds from my chair in the dog area. There is one sucking away at the feeder right now, enjoying himself with Moses directly under him, but he’s used to Moses so he doesn’t care. Life can be though and scary but my advice: <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DontWorryBeHappy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DontWorryBeHappy</a>, <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LifeIsShort" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LifeIsShort</a>

Chris AldrichSave the Date: A Southern California Type-In on May 10, 2025 I've been in conversation with a local bookstore in Pasadena to help host a type-in in Southern California. We're making plans for Saturday afternoon on May 10th from 1:00 PM onward.  So mark your calendars, limber your fingers, and start tuning up your favorite typewriter(s)! More details and specifics to come shortly.  If you're nearby and can spare some time to help volunteer, drop me a line.  <a href="https://boffosocko.com/2025/03/20/save-the-date-a-southern-california-type-in-on-may-10-2025/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://boffosocko.com/2025/03/20/save-the-date-a-southern-california-type-in-on-may-10-2025/</a>

jeanoappleseedGood morning from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pasadena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pasadena</a>. Woke up at 5:30am. Fed the dogs. Went back to bed. Read. Fell asleep eventually and slept for about 1.5 hrs till 8:30am. AND I'm feeling much better. Sometime sleep is essential and I'm still tired from my husband's hospitalization and Finn's brief illness.My <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LumbarSpine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LumbarSpine</a> feels good this morning. A little bit of sensitivity on the left (which will be treated in probably 1 months, hopefully, depending on how helpful my insurance decides to be, which usually is not a priority of theirs…) But my left side which was treated with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RadioFrequencyAblation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RadioFrequencyAblation</a> yesterday feels SUPER.About to eat my eggs & corn tortillas, which doesn't affect my glucose most of the time (though sometime it does) and supports good energy levels in the morning. But much less than <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/GrapeNuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrapeNuts</a>. Then Moses and I will go out. Then likely some cleaning and gardening.Here is a picture of Moses during yesterday's walk. It's <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/CaliforniaSpring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CaliforniaSpring</a> and absolutely gorgeous. Winter is a beautiful season for blooming but <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spring</a> is the grand pre-summer finale!!

jeanoappleseedGood evening from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pasadena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pasadena</a>. Gorgeous day we had with cool Pacific breezes & warm sun. Perfect 👌 Not a cloud in the sky & 22°C (72°F). 🌞 Photo’d as I rested & watched for hummingbirds, from my “dog run”, called Doggie Square on Alexa for night lights. So cozy since I covered it in a deep layer of wood mulch. I don’t think I’ve ever taken the time to sit and watch nature. I always feel behind so I almost always work, or sleep. I’m falling in love with not just hummingbirds but all birds. If I were ever to return to this world, I want to return as a bird. Me and my view as I relax (photos)

jeanoappleseedGood morning from <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pasadena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pasadena</a>. More rain on the way according to the forecast and it sure looks like it though not yet raining. So today will be 🌧️ & 8º-10ºC (46º-50ºC), therefore quite a cold day for us, especially so close to Spring.This is my best day since husband got back home from the hospital. I woke up relatively early ~5am (formerly 4am) and got going almost right away.Now is the time to head out for a walk with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/MosesTheServiceDog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MosesTheServiceDog</a> as he was quite walk-deprived during my husband’s hospital stay. And I think tomorrow we'll head out to La Crescenta dog park for some play since it's supposed to be sunny again.I've stopped going to the dog park in Pasadena because they changed the opening time from 6am to7am (without so much as public consultation) and were quite hostile when I tried to complain. And one dog owner was quite rude with me as well regarding the same issue. So, not a safe place for me.Plus the Pasadena dog park is mostly dirt with some grass. Moses gets wet in the grass, then rolls in the dirt and it's not manageable to have a service dog that is always full of dirt. The park in La Crescenta has a lot of trees plus is covered in deep wood chips and super clean.Enjoy the weekend!
