Hurray!

It was so nice to wander around and not get blown off my feet today.

It's the same when it's getting colder for us. It's so nice to see my friends gardens blooming.

Oh they do a bit! I was thinking accidental tulips when I cut it!

The way it works with Aus Post right now is all tariffs are prepaid by the sender. So the tariffs get built into my checkout process.

I've been watching it closely to make sure all the systems were working properly! But it cleared customs perfectly.

Finally! Relief! My outgoing orders to the US are safely making it through customs.

Shipping to the US is open again!

A bar of white soap with swirls of pink and green throughout. I have somehow managed to make them look vaguely like tulips!

Masquerading as a polo pony on holidays.

We have lots and lots and lots of blossoms on the fruit trees too.

Many many many white blossoms on a pear tree.

Looking up into the branches of the pear tree. It is a mass of white blossoms.

Pink and white Apple blossoms on a tiny tree.

Deep pink apple blossoms. These belong to an Huonville crabapple, which also has deep red leaves.

Growth! Spring might still be happening despite the weather!

Very tiny little green and red lettuce seedlings.

A tiny little tatsoi plant, amongst some other seedlings with only their first two leaves showing. Tatsoi is dark green with rounded dark green leaves.

An above ground garden bed, with some bird netting at the back. There are many many tiny seedlings as well as some pineapple mint coming up.

A white currant bush with lots of drippy blossoms. The blossoms are yellowish, light green, and the leaves are sort of tri pointed and spiky looking. I remembered to transplant this over winter and it looks really really happy with its new position.

Yeah, he's still not fully adjusted to the house burning down. So he wanders. Once the house is rebuilt, he gets to be an indoor boy again.

Veronica @veronicaf.bsky.social · 6h

He did have a meeting to attend, so I carefully deposited him back into my kids bed so he could do his duty.

Veronica @veronicaf.bsky.social · 6h

They really are. I hope she keeps getting braver.

Veronica @veronicaf.bsky.social · 6h

Oh they are glorious!

It was! And then he curled up on my whole keyboard and would not move. He's lucky I love his ridiculous face.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Sure, Cocoa. It's not like I need my laptop or anything.

(Still very glad he's home, he went missing for a month and arrrghhhh)
