Sunday Fun on the Block
May 16th was a perfect day. A small group of neighbors gathered to hear The Foxgloves , a six piece, all woman band, perform a set of their awesome blues, jazz and classic tunes. We are all emerging from the Covid haze- and really enjoyed a chance to be outside and listen to live music!
Many, many thanks to our harpist neighbor, Nikki, who organized the day. We also thank the multi-talented Foxgloves and can’t wait to hear you all again soon!

Another (death) Murder in Minnesota
Guns, pandemic, insurrection. This is our world.
I started reading Flynn Berry’s new novel yesterday, set in Northern Ireland in the time after The Troubles…and then, I heard the news that a Black motorist was shot and killed in suburban Minneapolis. These are our Troubles. They are not new. They are not unique.
The Derek Chauvin trial is underway in Minneapolis. I won’t kid myself and say Minnesota has changed since back in the days of Paul Wellstone. The Prairie Home northern bastion of liberal thought and fairness never existed for all.
In the 80’s I lived in South Minneapolis. We drove a little diesel VW Golf and put tinted anti-glare paper on the side windows; I hung a dream catcher on the rear view mirror. I got stopped by a cop one time. He gave me a ticket for a moving violation and said we had to take the film off the windows because we needed to be visible. I am still alive. I am a white female. Now read the article about Daunte Wright and say his name:
Police fatally shoot man, 20, in suburban Minneapolis, sparking protests

Rollicking Intergalactic Read
Thanks to Instagram and my acquaintance with @keithsnapcat, I was introduced to a recent publication by his human uncle, Andrew Fraser. The Lighting Effect is a romp of a book, filled with spies, space people, villains, oh, and a cat. Keith will tell you he is actually the author… Please check out this gem of a book!

Another Week Begins..
Are you ready for the week Bagheera? Would you prefer another Sunday, or two, to lounge with your humans?
Hello, Fiona
Fiona is the new girl next door; well, for a little while anyway. She is the newest foster kitten and we have had so little time together due to the pandemic. I hope we meet again soon!
