NTA confirmed.

Aww, that looks like one of your ginko friends!

I feel like the aurora forecasts are so tough. I know there’s been times when I’ve gotten alerts but there isn’t anything I can actually see. It just proves it’s best to check conditions because of exactly what we experienced last night! I’m hoping tonight will be good too.Guess we’ll see!

This is a good reminder that you can purchase outdoor lighting that aims downwards, not outwards or up towards the sky. This way it helps everyone being able to see the night sky without all the impacts of light pollution.

Checking in from the south metro:

That’s true! Bloomington actually banned planting female ginko trees.

I don’t, but I’ve been looking since you’ve been talking about them so much. When I worked downtown Mpls there were a couple I’d always see, there was even one tree with fruit! They usually don’t plant those because they are so messy.

Surprise!

I was wondering what the ginko trees looked like today. Thank you for the update!

That’s a travesty. That’s one of my absolute favorite songs! I hope you immediately played it for them and forced them to listen.

That style has been around for a while, but not sure when it actually started.

There were 2 other tributes I’m aware of - here’s another Gilbert, and Julie Blaha did some amazing flowers that were made from onion skins, and also rhubarb and corn fibers made into cordage! I can’t find a photo of those unfortunately.
