Doesn't rain but it fucking pours. Had to put my cat to sleep last week because of cancer, and yesterday Mom called and said she's got a cancer diagnosis too.

I think I'm going to take up model kits about it.

H'mm.
An unfinished color-in postcard with a pattern of thin lines. They weave over and under each other with sharp corners, and form repeating star and repeating chain patterns. I've backed myself into a corner by doing the central 12 pointed star in saturated and lighter colored 6 color rainbows. There's no logical pattern to follow to finish the side stars.

I have made. So much yellow squash bread.

I missed a squash, as one does, and it was so big there was still a good hunk of it left after I grated 4 cups!
2 loaves of yellow squash bread still in their red on the outside, white on the inside stoneware loaf pans. (I have not shelled out for stell pans... yet....) They have domed and cracked tops.

...it's basically a Pusheen, mushroom, flower and heart mandala coloring page. I have colored it in using a medium saturation 6 color rainbow.

So I'm sick and I skipped a couple of days in the garden, and ofc, had to face the wages of sin (inattentiveness.)
A "Golden Egg" yellow squash that weighs 3 or 4 pounds and sounds hollow when thumped. The skin isn't completely hard yet, but this guy is only good for squash bread.

Dinner
A white bowl of garlic, onions, yellow squash, and crunchy bits of bacon. Also contains salt, pepper, dried lemon zest, and olive oil. Probably Keto, but not on purpose. I just needed to start eating the yellow squash and this is what I had on hand.

The Squashening begins! The Golden Egg summer variety has a fruiting season of 8 weeks!
A picture of three Golden Egg squash, with my hand for scale next to the largest one. It's about as long as the tip of my pointer finger to the base of my thumb, and a little under half that wide.

I'm not planting this type of salad turnip with green onions as a succession crop again. The leaves ate all the sun and the onions are lying floppy on the dirt.
I'm holding the same turnip, but the angle of my hand is a bit odd so I can show the barest tips of the fingers showing on the other side. The turnip fills my whole hand.

This honker came out of my garden! It's technically a salad turnips but the outside layer got a little bitter since turnips are thirsty bastards when the root is really growing.
A white, washed salad turnip with the greens cut off. It's a bit larger than a baseball.

My native daisy-things are so beautiful right now
Two daisy-looking blossoms right next to each other, yellow on the outside but transitioning to orange in the middle.

Rare Una Behavoir!! She's folded herself into the smallest possible box!
A sleeping, 12 pound(!) torbie cat squished into an 11" by 9" brown cardboard box. Her back end perfectly fits into two corners of the box.

I'm waiting for this to cool off before I put it in the fridge, but I'm happy I got to make my yearly batch of quick pickled beets. :)
A four cup jar, open, containing large cubed chunks of gold and pink beets, fine onion slices, and a brine solution.

A sleeping torbie cat curled up on a red cushion so that her head is right next to one front paw and one back paw. Both paws are white! It's very cute.

"Direct Descendent" captures the lightning in the bottle of "Summon the Keeper" the most of any of her other books, including the sequels to StK, imo. Super fun and funny, with a pair of people trying to navigate love in the middle of a rising dark.
A picture of the book "Direct Descendent" by Tanya Huff being held up by someone, their thumb visible on the left. The book's cover is mostly teal or turquoise, with a drawing of an eldritch horror's tentacles showing around the edge of a diner with a bakery attached.

A somewhat indescribable piece of fractal coloring page, featuring a yellow sun with orange rays and a hexagonal ring around it colored 90's blue-green, pink and purple. It's very much like a simplified diagram of potassium/sodium gates but with a sun organelle and all in 90's bold colors.

Asparagus, tabouli, and pork tenderloin
¾ angle picture of a plate with grilled asapargus spears in the back, a pile of tabouli on the left, and a fan of pork tenderloin loin slices following the curve of the plate on the right. A fork rests just outside the pork on the whitespace of the plate.

HAIL!
A disk shaped piece of hail, which covers the middle two fingers and part of the palm of the hand holding it. The same piece of hail after a mad scramble through the house for a quarter. The quarter sits atop the hail, the white ice showing all the way around.

A picture of Elmo sitting on a sketched-in curb, holding an orange monster doll wearing a multicolored striped sweater. Oscar the grouch in his garbage can is behind and to the right of him. The test to the left of Elmo reads "I want my tax dollars to go to Elmo not Elon"

I'm going to assume it's @sumo-video, b/c searching does pop up the little bird/sumo rikishi icon. The algorithm recc'd it to me, so I've never had to look for it.
Cut down screenshot of the @sumo-video youtube channel banner and name. Banner is a lot of rikishi facing right in their ceremonial aprons.

Marble cake!
Vertical shot of a marble cake loaf, one slice arranged at an angle from the cut surface to show the marbling of the chocolate and vanilla crumb.

No cheating. Post the last photo of your pet.
