Four months ago today, respected Minnesota legislator Melissa Hortman was assasinated in a planned shooting by an extremist. October 14 would be better served honoring her death (and her husband, and injured Senator Hortman and wife) instead of a podcaster and professional provocateur.

Tea flowers look like popcorn when they fall off the bush. And there are honey bees all over it.

My bicolor butterfly bush makes me as happy as it does our pollinators.

I wanted her to distract me from what my hands were doing. And she did. Then we went to her apartment. It became a routine and it was great.

@annmeeker.bsky.social and I may be working out something similar for yardwork. There may be some trading off of labor, too.

Before we had children, I had a friend that I traded off watching each other do housework with. The first time she came over, she wanted to help. I told her that if she helped, I couldn't ask her again because ever after I would be asking her to come help me clean. That was not the point.

That looks just up my street. I've done everything I can to get a notification when it's finally running here.

I texted my friend and said "Do you want to a) come talk to me while I plant stuff, b) go get a coffee or c) do stuff that it not with me?" She chose A. The tulips are planted. The pansies are planted. We had good talk. I pulled a little weeds.

This was a nice day.

I'm sorry that the final steps suck. But, I really love knowing a book is on the way.
