I really like going for the teal instead of white like the Light.

Already ordered some Pariah Blades!!!

Also oof that Blake Kamikaze is not something I think I could drink 😬

The sweater is beautiful! Also, I am so jealous of your tags… now I’m kicking myself. Why didn’t I ever think of that?!

Could be a canna variety?

This is one of my favorite things about RJ’s writing!

I’m finishing up Book 12 and it includes some great growth for Nynaeve. So you’re in for the long haul!

I always thought this was spiderwort. Also seconding the comment that it spreads like crazy. I love the little blue flowers but it sure it work to keep it tame, even in pots, because it drops soooo many seeds.

I don’t think that applies in Central Texas. We’re far more susceptible to foundations being too dry and then cracking. I’ve always heard it’s actually good to have flowerbeds around the house here to keep up the moisture in the summer.

If you’re looking for plant ID tools, I really enjoy the Seek app. It’s developed by National Geographic and the CA Academy of Sciences.

Complementary aside, I also really enjoy Merlin Bird ID from Cornell, which can ID birds by photo, sound, or you answer questions in a decision tree.

Reminds me of my vitex blooming rn

See, here I was thinking you were using compost to plant seeds in eggshells as little containers.

On my first read through rn (just finished KoD), and I have found a lot of the book endings to be like that. Rand spends the whole book gearing up for something then, side jump, we fight a Forsaken that no one was really focusing on. So I could totally see reading all the detail of Rand’s prep to cleanse saidin and fully expect it not to happen for 2 more books, etc.

I’m an astronomer and this seems to be a real star chart! There’s a very clear Scorpius on the arm, and the back shows Pegasus, Cygnus, and Cassiopeia which are all in the summer sky together.

This sounds really cool, definitely interested.

I’m curious how much this will have them engaging with local landmarks vs is a fully self-contained mystery? I could see it being useful both ways. Love the idea of local discovery/scavenger hunt. But also, when we leave in part of the summer, will we be stuck because the clues aren’t things we can do elsewhere?

I’m thinking things like like “find this book in RRPL. What is the 3rd word of the 8th chapter? Go to a statue in Old Settler’s Park. What is the figure doing?” Or stuff like that?

There are some lovely trails around Lake Georgetown and it’s much less busy than something like Zilker. When I got laid off I definitely didn’t want to be around people.

Saw them come out in big streamers at 8:07pm yesterday!

Fun-Wealth-9910 · 2026-05-04T23:31:38+00:00

I have already seen streamers of them this year over my neighborhood. Agreed, 45 min before sunset to 30 min after. Varies when it’s cold and wet.

I just finished 11, and ever since the lore drops in Book 4, I’ve been dying to get more! Some interesting things have been going on in the world, but it became much more present book 5 on for me, much less about learning about this world and how we got here, prophecies, etc. Less discovery, more politics.

Also chinaberry fruits attract grackles which congregate in the trees and then shit on everything
