I’m at the point whee I see “possible nor’easter” and think, “no, do not want big wind.”

Good luck with your travel.

Never fails. Didn’t get an autogyro for the daily tasks in Skycards yesterday, so of course this AM, I found three, when I don’t “need” it.

Ok, that’s sweet basil, Thai basil, tarragon, mint, Korean mint, and rosemary in the kitchen tonight. I think I might have to make some stew this weekend.

White Ibis in roadside ditches or on people’s front lawns are the ones I mostly remember from the last time I was in FL.

Looks like I’ll be hauling the herb pots in from the deck to hang out in the kitchen overnight.

I’ve been thinking it was Friday for the last few days, so your problem in reverse.

Those afternoon thunderstorms.

Buena, NJ.

I assume this means the woodpecker is attacking the siding and not just drumming on the gutters.

Li’l cuties!

First time I got one of these puzzles in one try, because baseball trivia is not one of my strong suits.

I’m definitely a big fan of Chancleta’s work. It always makes me smile when he appears on my timeline.

Jennifer W. Hanson @jenniferwhanson.bsky.social · 4d

Tell Sandal he is an excellent boy!

Jennifer W. Hanson @jenniferwhanson.bsky.social · 4d

Wow.

Jennifer W. Hanson @jenniferwhanson.bsky.social · 4d

My main exposure to “woah” is in the lyrics sheets of John Gorka albums. I’m not sure I’ve encountered it elsewhere.

Early October was the usual cut-off point when I was in NJ.

Osprey may have migrated south for the winter.

Jennifer W. Hanson @jenniferwhanson.bsky.social · 4d

I’ve never seen one on a grave either.

Jennifer W. Hanson @jenniferwhanson.bsky.social · 5d

So far, so good.

Jennifer W. Hanson @jenniferwhanson.bsky.social · 5d
