We didn't plant any squash this year.

A light green, warty gourd. It's phallic. A small slight green gourd on the vine. It's phallic. A white gourd, maybe a young acorn squash, growing on the vine. A tiny yellow and green gourd growing on the vine. Also phallic.

Yesterday was a super stressful workday. This breakfast was delivered to me (while on a marathon working call) by my most excellent wife. 🍽️
A bowl full of breakfast hash - sweet potatoes, chicken, spinach - served with two edible flowers and a side off buttered sourdough toast.

A tale of 2 cats.
#caturday #catsky
A gray sphynx cat sleeping in a pike of car beds and blankets on a purple couch. A fluffy, white cat. Sleeping in a small cardboard box tray. She is so large, she barely fits in the box. The box sits on a tiled floor.
