The only think that would make the Perry more delightful is if @barmas.bsky.social was here with us to share the bottle

These are not plums, they are apples! These are red-fleshed Robert’s Crab apples. They are crispy, tart & aromatic.

I’ve been running. A lot more than I have in years. I’m getting faster slowly but surely and it’s so much fun.

I spent last week in Beaver head-Deer Lodge National Forest, on a 5-day backpacking trip with Montana Llama Guides. Granite, mountain streams, alpine lakes, wildflowers—It was an incredible experience & one I’d do again in a heartbeat. I can’t recommend Montana or Montana Llama Guides enough! 🦙🌄🌟

Alpine lake with rocks, fallen logs and evergreens

I do have to say Blue Sky cider feels much more active than it was on Twitter and that is awesome

Feeling nostalgic for beer twitter 2021 (my highly curated version) and all the awesome foodies I used to follow there too. I haven’t had success finding folks on here. So here’s tonight’s wild salmon tacos and sparkling Oregon Pinot noir. Foodies 👀

Today I said “ritigate misk” in a meeting. So, yeah. 👍

Over the last 5 days I’ve had FOUR drinks spilled on me. The only way I can reconcile this punishment is that the universe is hedging its bets with all born on June 14th. Can’t say I blame it.

At the Spokane River Forum, current presentation showing a 67% reduction in phosphorus pollution in the Spokane River since the ‘70s. Didn’t happen with point source control alone. Take away: choices about soil preservation, tillage, cover crops, erosion control—they matter! 🌾🌎
