Ours is finally mostly melted, thank goodness! Although now the chicken yard is a mess of melted poop snow 😅

No problem, hope it goes well!

This happened in this very country! During the 2020s!!

In the oven at 325°F. With the lid on. It's almost impossible to overcook or screw up in any way, you'll be fine!

That's what our yard will look like in a few weeks!

Winter: none of them
Summer: maybe score a point or two in table tennis

Ours normally pop up around now, I'm watching the ditch across the street for any more we can transplant...

About a dozen or so green tips of daffodil leaves poking through some receding snow

Fucking wild to me that people consider wearing a mask to protect yourself and your community from a deadly novel virus with plenty of long-term implications we're yet to even learn the extent of "extreme".

I'm ready for it to be spring as well! Daffodils, our cherry and magnolia trees in bloom, brassicas, camping, open windows, baseball...

Luckily it wasn't too much here. I'm tired of the snow though, it's not the fun kind. We're about 45 minutes outside of Richmond and don't get this much snow most winters 😅

We'll be in the 90s in May as well, I can't wait!

Dang we had a little time above freezing but haven't seen 57° in a while. That's perfect kale growing weather!

Too much!

At least the new snow provides some traction on top of the ice I guess. We got about an inch and a half of new snow, what about you?

Fucking hell, more snow?

It just snowed here again today 🙃

Glad they were able to catch it, hope he is able to rest and recover quickly!

I love it

All the monks patted our 5yo on the head as they walked by too. It was super sweet, I'm bummed I had to work and missed it.

You can't see but both girls are N95'd 😷

Text me maybe we can set something up? 😘

Lila took the (human) kids to meet the monks as their Walk for Peace made its way north of Richmond this afternoon ❤️

The fact that so many people, especially elected dems, are clamoring for a mask ban really exposes their ingrained ableism. I get that ICE uses "masks" to obfuscate their identity, so THAT should be the angle. Hell, force them to wear respirators if they're hell-bent on masking.

Thanks. Rest, heating pad, and homemade salve is keeping me going.

Took me a week and a half of doing farm chores on 2 inches of ice to finally eat it in the chicken yard of all places. Landed on my ass but somehow my neck hurts? Is this what middle age is?

Also fuck ICE.

One potato at a time.

Do it!

Ooh this looks fun! Bookmarking the recipe in my browser to come back to this summer when I'm (hopefully) swimming in paste tomatoes.

🤣

But I want to make this about ME!
