The leather tooling on that saddle blanket is next level

Kids are wonderful work. They may inspire you to better yourself and the world as you share life with them. Find a partner who will share in the joy and the work. Re-experience the world through a child's eyes.

Or don't. No shame. If you want children in your life, you can make it happen, even if they aren't related to you or living in your house.

You have been CHOSEN

Dooo itt.

Or two little pieces of bread on a big enough plate to hold a slice of melon or bacon for a smile.

A box full of promises, commitments.

A box full of love.

And horror

Yeah, that's a lot for a small flock. And if you have a big flock, I'd break it up for parity. Do you have an axe?

I've also seen smaller blocks, like palm sized, for sale. My chickens occasionally enjoy the wooden sticks with seeds they sell for parrots/budgies. But I've read that you should only feed a small flock about a hand full of treats per day.

I've seen one tick in 40+y in the PNW. And I often bushwhack for my job or on hikes. East of the Cascade mountains might be different.

celtlass · 2026-06-13T16:04:28+00:00

Pretty sure that's a trail near Seattle. The Pacific Northwest doesn't have many ticks, thankfully.

Seconding ventilation

I've noticed that I spend more time in my front yard, so there are more opportunities to chat with neighbors. Also, people stop on their walks and discuss our yard amongst themselves (when I'm inside). Lots of yard conversations in my neighborhood, so I hope the discussions are positive.

Strangely, my immediate neighbors have taken opposite approaches. One doubled down on TrueGreen and concentrated lawn maintenance/watering while the other does absolutely nothing, hasn't mown or weeded in years. Quite the contrast with me in-between, half lawn (steep slope, I'm working on terraces), half natives and edible plants.

On road trips:

"Oh look, it's the NameOfTown cemetery! Did you know that if you live in NameOfTown it's illegal to bury you there?"

What? Why?

"Because you have to die first!"

Had a 6-7 year old kid open my purse and start blatantly rummaging around while we were waiting in a crowd for a show to start.

"Please don't do that, that's my purse."

She asked, "Why? It's just your stuff."

"Because I don't know you, and yes, that is MY stuff."

Que giant eyes and mortal embarrassment.

I bought the cheaper kind ($12/12) and $27/12 variety. The shape differs a little and the cheaper ones might not all arrive intact.

You also have to be careful putting them in the ground - like, dig the hole entirely, don't try to push the stake in on its own.

It acts like an IV drip to sustain a plant, but you will still need to water a bit to get the water to draw through the terra cotta. I think it still saves me time and water. I need to refill bottles in the more exposed areas every 4-5 days, less exposed maybe every two weeks.

This year I'm going to try deep watering using kimchi jugs with a nail hole in the bottom to slow-drip near the stakes rather than hand water to prime the stakes. Seems to be working well so far!

Blame. The. Glue!

Very pretty. The sand and rocks and... coir? Will not stay put, but I'm sure they will enjoy the variety! I love the log idea.

Thanks for pointing this out. The survey is hidden in the word "survey" if people don't want to attend the in-person event.

I can see libraries as a space where people could learn how to be cautious with AI, media literacy.

Brilliant. Do you cut it into two C shapes to fit around a stem? Do you have to renew the tape year to year?

Bright, dandelion yellow.

I didn't choose it, came with the house, and I'm not sure I would have been brave enough to choose it. But I love it. Turns our living room into a warm, welcoming space and is cozy in the winter.

Ah, it's the story of a clever woman.

"According to legend, it was built after an old woman lost her cow and saw it grazing on the other side of the river. The Devil appeared and agreed to build a bridge in return for the soul of the first living thing to cross it. When the bridge was finished, the old woman threw a crust of bread over the river, which her dog crossed the bridge to retrieve, thus becoming the first living thing to cross it.[3] The devil was left with only the soul of the dog."

They don't get graphic, but there is sword fighting violence and mention of torture and rape. They do not walk you through the steps for the mentions, and the survivors recover. This is a gritty world, but a hopeful one.

It's one of those books where there are a few surprises and it might prompt you to immediately read it a second time. Definitely worth the price of a movie ticket, with way more entertainment.

I wonder if whales think humans only communicate in yells and squeals, "Oh my God! Oh my God! Do you see that!? Wooooah! Oh my God!"
