How do I pin a post on this thing?

Top photo is two lambs in sweat3rw text reads "you can't love animals and eat them too"

Bottom pannal is perfect Farnsworth (Futurama) text reads "I can but that's because I'm not a penniless hippie"

Joke refers to the problem with poplar episode

Talking studs with some friends for this girl,

I showed her my phone and she is * NOT * impressed

Guess I need to find a dog more up to her standards 🤣

@rickcity.bsky.social I wonder if that annoying metal noise is the ring from a flag hitting the flag pole near the press box?

Would explain the inconsistency

I got the pumpkins from a local farm, so I know they're all cross pollinated, and I'll get franken pumpkins instead of the varieties I want

When I had sheep here, we had a few "poopkin" plants from pumpkins seeds when I'd fed them whole pumpkins 😆

They grew like crazy!!

He just needs a little attention is all

AAAAUGH! The lithops is doing a thing! I was not informed that lithops did things! I thought they just sat there and occasionally sprouted pups like a normal succulent!

Had an extra cup of coffee this morning, let's see how this game goes 😄

At least 7PM start is slightly more civilized

Have a few notes for next time, but it was tasty

#WhatsForDinner

The dogs were jumping back & forth around the dinning room & into the window while I was writing an exam

Which is typical for them, but somehow Truffle got tangled up with the thread from my serger so it was an episode of Harold and the purple Crayon untangling it from all around the house

#DogSky

Truffle the Jack Russell Terrier reflecting on her work as I untangle a bone she wrapped thread around multiple times

Normally the serger is covered so this doesn't happen, she got that off too

Just point the bity bit away from you, and you'll be fine!

They're actually quite easy to learn how to use for basic stuff like this 😊

Vanessa 🍁 @nesfarm.bsky.social · 16h

Harvested the popcorn and despite shaking them every day, they made better decoration than they did a snack 😄

Oh well! There's always next year

My very high tech and fancy rain guage makes me giggle

Looks like we got about 1/3 cup of water in the last 24 hours

#GardenSky

250ml Mason jar 1/3rd full of rain water

The bottom of the yellow tape marks the height of the rain water from our last storm

I address all my teachers by their first name 😅

In my defense, I have several good friends who are professors, and a number of my teachers are younger than me

None of have minded
