Funds might materialized? Subject to the whims of somebodies who never served? Adversaries could not have possibly imagined these unfolding scenarios in their tabletop exercises!

That is pretty! I need to plant some strawflowers.

🌱 I have problems with earwigs this year which seemed to adore the columnar apples and have taken bites near the pedicels. What’s your trick in keeping them away? This is the first time I’ve seen them bother the fruits.

Being a chicken tender is seriously one of the most fulfilling hobbies, they just keep right on trucking even though I'm barely keeping it together. I'm feeling extremely melancholy and irritable this evening and want to either fight someone or cry, but at least I have a bucket of butt nuggets. 🌱🪶

A bucket with some chick starter in the bottom and 15-20 eggs of various shades in it. Some chickens are out of focus in the background.

🌱 The black cherry tomatoes are not really black but they have a full balanced flavor and just the right crunch. It’s a great snacking tomato. I hope to plant this again next season.

terrible things are happening outside. poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. families are torn apart. men, women, and children are separated. children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.

Squeezy is just so SQUEEZABLE. Look at this little boy. Picture-perfect for #Caturday.

My brown tabby rescue kitty (who looks suspiciously like a Bengal) is sitting in his cat tree hammock, butt into the round depression, back legs kicked out to the front, belly exposed. That look... "What? I know I'm cute."

🌱 In an increasingly distressing world, a bit of comfort in the garden with the certainty that nothing is permanent except the wheel of time … the sun setting but rising again.

A long sunset is upon us, hold on to each other in the dark, daylight one day …

Caught this great egret at the exact moment it landed on top of this tree just now.
