A picture of a pot of green onion. The rest of the scene is a jumble of things on a half wall and top of a piano. Candles, a small lamp with a tambourine on the shade, books, a pot full of soil, a photo album, another pot with a bunch of pothos growing in it and a hall tree in the background with a bunch of coats and shirts on it.

Here are the current green onions in their pot.

Being wore out from work often sucks. Glad you got a good nap in.

A nap?! Are you working night shifts?

A forest stream with small cascades of water through the rocks and forest. The whole scene is dappled with sunlight. The stream ends at the bottom of the frame with small rapids that are cottony from the long exposure. Above that there is a small pool between boulders and a tree on the left that is leaning to the right a little over the water. On the right back of the pool is a small waterfall between rocks. There is a rock pile to the left of the waterfall and to the right is large boulders. To the left and right beyond the rocks and boulders there are many sunlit trees that go off into the distance. Between the rocks and stream in the fore and middle ground is a variety of vegetation.

A two lane desert road near a small railroad town. The road starts on the left corner and goes away and towards the right to a railroad crossing with two barriers in the up position. The railroad is elevated so hides the road beyond. There are 4 wood power poles on the right side of the road and one on the right with wires running between them. On the right side of the road is an old wood sign, most of the white writing can't be made out. The parts that can be read are STORE OPEN BEER FOOD WINE beyond the wood sign is a street sign that says NIPTON DESERT RD. The horizon is storm clouds with a break in them on the right where the orange sky of sunset can be seen between mountains and the downpours of rain. On the left the mountains can't be seen and it looks like clouds from the horizon to the sky.

Four classic cars parked in the desert near some trees. The paint jobs on the cars are eccentric and not easy to describe. They are very colorful and not solid colors. The tops of the cars are shiny and reflecting the orange of the sunset through the clouds. Through the trees on the right of the frame the sun can be seen and it is fuzzy and orange. The whole sky is shades of orange.

Feel free to believe what you want. I have seen or read about far too many rich or well-off people only helping as much as they can write off on their taxes all while they support horrible people who will help them keep more money for themselves.

Black Mirror did an episode about it called Be Right Back it had a very troubling conclusion.

Welcome Robyn.
If we look up everything we wouldn't have time to take or process pictures to share.

No worries, there are so many places called Red Rock or some iteration of that in the southwest it is easy to mix them up.
I literally looked up Red Rock State Park Nevada thinking it was something I didn't know before I recognized Rainbow Mountain.

Arghh I forgot to compliment the photo. I love the contrast between the green, red, blue, and white.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. That is Rainbow Mountain I believe. Was this from the Canyon overlook?

You doubling or tripling? down on the joke got me.

Is that what they said in the JG Wentworth commercials?

So raptors aren't real birds? They don't really eat seeds. Also hummingbirds land (I watched a Costa's Hummingbird land while I was eating dinner in my backyard) and they have a bifurcated tongue not a probiscus.

How many people voted for trump 3x, or people who didn't have school loans like this bitching about the forgiveness... If they were the exceptions there wouldn't be school lunch debt, homelessness, stagnant minimum wage...
When a rich person does something good with their money it is news worthy.

There isn't an amount of money that is enough to remove the temptation to grift more money.
Look at Elon, the Adelsons, Trump...
They spend more money than most people make a year to get people in office to cut social services so they can have tax cuts.

Jen gets the mailed meal prep things and they always send too many green onions. I put them in a pot and they usually grow well for several months. I can't recall the last time we had to buy them.

Inside: pothos for a versatile plant, ivy for a climber, basil chives and green onions because they can never be bought in the right quantities, mint because it needs to be contained anyway, aloe for skin regimen.
Outside has many variables.

Did they watch Futurama to steal the idea of New New York?

That sucks bad and I am sorry. I hope y'all are getting healthcare through another route. I also hope the VA will reimburse you for any expenses.

I use the VA for my healthcare most of the time, other family members use private insurance. I can usually get in faster or just as fast as my Wife can for appointments.
It is a lie that it will take longer with government healthcare.

It is in Vegas. We all just thought they used poor quality metal and it melted!

I came here to post about this.

Most definitely it wouldn't be the same without the rain.
I would move up then in a second if I could.

Thank you. The trip was much better than I anticipated.
With the rivers, streams, and waterfalls everywhere along with the canopy from the trees it reminded me of the trips I took to the PNW albeit without the rain.

Thanks Robyn!

A photo of a male Indian Peafowl. It has its tail feathers spread out behind it and the angle that it is photographed at makes it look like it is in 3/4 profile in front of a peacock feather background. The neck and upper chest are a vibrant blue except right under the head where it is green, which leads to a slash of white under the visible eye that is black and surrounded by blue and green. Above the eye is another slash of white that leads to the beak which is a dark grey until the tip which is white. The crown is a vibrant shiny blue with a group of feathers that are on stalks of white/grey leading to small blue feathers on the tips. The feathers behind it are shades of shiny green that looks like scales near the body then flare out to large airy feathers that end in a top that is egg shaped. The egg shaped part is a green line going around it with a thick tan line inside of that becoming a light blue circle inside of that with a small dark blue shape that resembles PacMan facing towards the bird.

Happy #StunDay to all that celebrate!!! Here is one of the many #peacocks that I saw at the #LosAngeles #Arboretum. I swear it was posing for pictures.

Curiously, am I going overboard or not with my Alt Text?

A forest creek scene. The water is running from the middle right of the photo with small waterfalls and rapids directly towards the camera widening to nearly fill the whole bottom of the frame. It is clear where there are no rapids and the brown and tan stones and bed can be seen through the water. on the left and right are trees and smaller vegetation that obscures the view of the bright light blue sky beyond.

A picture from above and to the side of a creek that carved out pools in a rock outcrop. The outcrop is a mix of whites, greys, and tans. There are two visible oval pools with a small waterfall between them, after the second pool water can be seen in the distance at a lower level. The closer part of the outcrop has a steep drop and is mostly in shadow. roughly two thirds of the way across the pools and on the other side of them it is sunny. There is vegetation that is gray and brown on the far side of the creek growing past the rocky outcrop and in the distance. The sky above is a deep blue and takes up about 1/6th of the frame at the top.

A waterfall blurred by a long exposure so that it is a dreamy feathery white falling from the top of grey black rocky wall of a valley. The waterfall is broken in multiple places from near the top of the frame to the bottom. There are what appears to be pine trees at the top of the waterfall. There is green vegetation dispersed through the rocks as well as moss. The rocks are various colors and shades from a nearly white where they are completely dry on the top right and left. Where the rocks are wet they range in color from rust on the foreground rocks which lead to a tan moving up the frame to dark grey and a coal color at the middle of the frame and directly around the start of the waterfall at the top of the frame.

Still going with these posts
Day 3 of #camping in #Sequoia #NationalForest
#1 Dry Meadow Creek which leads to the #2 Natural Tubs which would have been amazing take a dip in if I had the means to get down to them. #3 I went back to Nobe Creek Falls.

A lil TL cleanse for the aces fans mad at the L and lynx fans worried about phee #WNBA

Two large unfolded cardboard boxes on a cement floor.

Tomorrow is our 17th wedding anniversary. The traditional gift is furniture. We got an outdoor conversation set which was set up today. It left me with two large boxes that made me think about break dancing. The 80s were something else.
