For people eager to scrape lanternfly egg masses but not sure what they look like, here’s one. Right now when they are fresh, the outside is a bit crispy and the inside is wet.

Acorns, though…

A beautiful day to spend with my teen, biking to Audi to cheer for the Spirit. I cherish these bits of time together. 💖

Soccer stadium with a bright blue sky. Young fans are lined up to cheer the players as they enter the field. Amazing seats, second row behind the goal, thanks to friends who gave us their season tickets for the day.

Ok, first, I need to know why you’re thinking of moving and what your 5-10 year plan is. So that I can make the custom-designed pitch to back up @exsk8pnk.bsky.social on his Takoma recommendation

@theomegadork.bsky.social hello! Could you DM me, pls? I understand you’re a fellow dog sitter and I need good people to refer folks to when I can’t assist.
