The word for day 4 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “spot”. I’ve added a few more stickers on my 16” MacBook Pro, and it’s becoming increasingly hard to find a clear spot. (New ones are Daring Fireball, Hypercritical, and Turn Touch.) #mbfeb

On the homestead blog: let’s take a stroll around the property and look at the snow this morning. ❄️

Another “reflect” picture, this time from today: snowy trees reflecting off our pond. #mbfeb

The word for day 3 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “reflect”. This is one of my favorite photos of Crater Lake in southern Oregon, with a mirror-like reflection (actually taken in 2009). #mbfeb

The word for day 2 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “sight”. Cats have excellent night sight. Here’s Bella and Poppy by the breezeway shelter, looking alertly after hearing something to disturb their snuggles. #mbfeb 🐈

I post a photo every day anyway, but thought it could be fun to participate in the Micro.blog photo challenge too. The word for day 1 is “open”. So here’s an open flower from last summer. #mbfeb

On the homestead blog: experimenting with multiple GIFs in this week’s cat update. #Caturday 🐈

On the homestead blog: your weekly flock update includes a peek inside the chicken coops at night, and an animated GIF of the ducks. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓


Another stop on our way up the coast in April 2001: the giant redwoods (including the Drive-Thru Tree). #ThrowbackThursday

With the recent 10th anniversary of the iPad introduction, I was just thinking about my current one, the first generation iPad Pro 12.9″, purchased in November 2015 (along with the Logitech keyboard case).
A great device. Crazy that it’s still going strong; it doesn’t feel slow at all. The keyboard still works well, too. I did use Apple’s keyboard cover for a year or so, but it eventually died.
I do plan to get a new iPad Pro when this year’s models are released; it’s about time. But I’ll probably continue using this one, perhaps as a bedroom reader or something.
