I saw on the news that Koko, the gorilla who communicated with sign language, passed away. I saw a cute clip of her signing to Robin Williams, telling him to tickle her. RIP Koko.

She was such a grand soul, I am sure she is getting a standing ovation when she gets to heaven!

You are absolutely right Karen, straight to heaven and standing O's for that precious being!
Soooo... Lily chased a flying bug right into the French doors and smashed her head. Still the kitten at heart, she does not appear to be concussed, thank God, she was going full torque. We have screens but she merely slaps them open or hangs on them until they are.... shredded and replaced (sigh) I wonder if eating bugs are harmful for her. I just googled all about Koko, I wonder if they will have a funeral for her, definately a memorial plaque at least. Her caretakers must be heartbroken. The most magnificent and beautiful gorilla. I read she passed in her sleep of old age. Hope she knew how much she was loved, she was a smart one so we know she did. ❤️ I love random thoughts and Pet Talk so much. Thanks Karen, you are wonderful.

Aww, you are so welcome.
And it probably depends on the bug, but most are just a little extra crunchy protein for kitties!

Rest in peace, beautiful beloved Koko! You are a true inspiration for all of us.
Those photos of you and your tiny kitten are so touching and precious.

One of the things I miss about working in downtown Chicago is the summer farmers' market. They were (are) held in a couple of different locations and I would often buy flowers. Going home there would be people carrying farmers' market flowers home on the train. I saw gladiolas on sale at the supermarket, and that is one of the flowers I used to enjoy bringing home from the farmers' market. The one at federal plaza had live music on the first Friday of the month, too- so you could bring your lunch, listen to music and leave with something from the farm.
When I went to Russia with the church team there was a street market near our hotel with beautiful and inexpensive flowers, and pretty hand-made crafts.

We have a year-round farmers' market, about a 20 minute car ride from our house. I love it at any time of year.
There's a great garden store right beside it where I used to work many years ago. At lunch, I would walk over to the market and get some produce.
