I live on Earth and I'm interested in it. I'm especially curious about the ways people here explain their lives to each other and organize and preserve those explanations: literature, science, art, history, religion, libraries, museums, all the treasures.

Green tomatoes have a good, strong taste. They're easy to slice, interesting to look at, & I might like them better than red ones on pizza, though I enjoy both. I picked 12 more tiny green ones just now, before the coming weekend freeze.

Detail of a bag made of patches woven in different patterns.
I don't know how to weave but I admire those who do. Sometimes I wish I could do it, too.

Standing under it in daylight, this small solar-powered sun is just a glittery shape. In darkness, the path to get back under it is too rough for me but from a distance it shines bright orange, sometimes perfectly round, sometimes showing its shape. My hand moves, I think.

Preparing for tonight's freeze (warning, anyway; I want to believe) means I collected all the green tomatoes I could get from my garden. It's enough to do something with. Probably I'll slice them up to bake on pizza.

I didn't see the squirrel do it. These lightbulbs are probably fine; I'll find another place to use them. The outdoor lights stopped working because a squirrel chewed through the electrical wire connecting them. Allegedly.

Coreopsis in my garden should be asleep, not awake & flowering Jan 15. Flowers often disregard my opinions, especially about scheduling, but I'm starting to suspect that they don't listen at all.

Most of my bookshelves are like this: books in the back; small odd things that interest me in the front. That's for convenience, so if I ever tire of examining the small odd things I can easily find a book to read.

The weather was a bit chilly, so it's sensible for a bear to wear a yellow cap. Dancing might also be a way to keep warm.

In January 2022 this pink pot held an anthurium plant with bright white flower spikes in glossy red heart-shaped spathes. I don't have any photos from those days. These days, the plant is long gone but the pot is still useful, holding seed packets for the coming spring.

These are roots of a cypress tree at the edge of the Guadalupe River in Flat Rock Park, Kerrville TX. The tree was there 1 year ago; I haven't been back to look for it since the July 2025 floods. I understand most of these old trees are gone now, washed away, but replanting is in progress.

Moving some furniture yesterday uncovered this hummingbird. I remember hanging it & some other fragile things on that screen years ago, to stay out of the way temporarily. Maybe "temporarily" is almost over.

Light comes through a flat window, then straight-line blinds, then a loose curtain, then to me & my camera. Because the billowy curtain's surface curves, I see curves. The layer closest to my eye or my camera's eye wins.

Sunlight comes indoors at times & places that change as Earth travels around the Sun. In late afternoon these winter days, prisms in windows scatter light collected from the southwestern sky onto many interior surfaces; rough chimney bricks show the widest range of colors.

This Opuntia pad (prickly-pear leaf) fell off the larger plant outdoors, so I stuffed it into a pot indoors while considering whether/where to start a new cactus patch. A new pad started growing on top of the older one. The cactus it fell (jumped?) from isn't growing at all.
