It's not even Dan Quale!

@thesnarkyfarmer.bsky.social I need some help. I want to start a few tomato seeds indoors and the grow lights I have are not adequate. Looking at full-spectrum LED lights that will fit in a standard socket, the choices are overwhelming. Need to keep cost low, too. Do you know of a good one?

Lots of good options, if I only had an income. Social Security doesn't cut it, and nowadays that's not reliable long-term anyway.

Lunch at sidewalk table, San Francisco. Foreground, Caesar salad, back, fried calamari, to the left a bowl of marinated olives, and of course, a glass of wine.

Those sound so good. Reminds me of some I was served as an appetizer at a small restaurant in North Beach, San Francisco. You can barely see some in the dish on the left. I don't know how they were prepared, but I still remember them all these years later.

'Cause cats, mine included, are always guilty of something even if we haven't figured out what it is yet. They know. 😹

Congrats! It's lovely.

Yay for 50s! We've reached that point, for the most part, and even into the 60s during the day. Inconsistent, though, to say the least. Never know what to expect.

Good morning Jean! It may be cold, but it's beautiful to look at.

Happy Birthday!

Aren't they all!😹

Thanks, Pekka. I've tried this often, but I think this is the closest to capturing what I see that I find interesting.

You'll enjoy it! Helen Mirren, among others, and she's always good.

Tall tree silhouetted against the artificial light of a building and the predawn sky, softened by fog.

Early morning walk around the building. This view always looks more interesting than any photo I’ve taken of it.

Nice, but sad. She was a stalwart of the garden area. She's way fussy about what she eats and only grew tomatoes, which everyone was free to eat. I should ask her if there's anything she'd like.

Yes indeed! There was a great book/movie about it. Lady in Gold is the book, Woman in Gold the movie. I loved both. I may take the 10 minutes!

I'll be 'sharing' the box with a neighbor whose health won't let her work it anymore, so I don't want to take her stuff out even though she offered me the box outright. Fun time of year -- at least we can plan crops, if not plant yet!

If I'd had it earlier, I would have done garlic. It may not be too late. It has strawberries, and I'm not taking them out, but there's space in the center. Cool on the CSA!

Really? Can’t a cat get any privacy? Morning ablutions. Also, #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforInside

Good morning! It's relatively mild here, though cloudy/rain on and off. Typical. I just inherited a second, organic, garden box yesterday and I need to decide what to plant in it. Nice problem to have. Maybe onions.

BRRR, again! Better than last week, though. Stay warm.

Also gets you live TV, although I think that was also available with the free version. It’s a great deal and I feel good about my small donation.

I gave up the ink game a few years ago and bought a laser printer. No color, but I don’t need color and I have no more ink woes.

That moon was gorgeous this morning, outside my window. I didn't have such a lovely landscape available for a photo, though!

It worked! Thanks.

Aha. I think I’ve got it!

I’m mostly blind to the whole thing. There are days like this.

I have struggled with this one! No pangram and I think maybe 20 words.

The beginnings of a red tulip.

Some rather ragged looking Vinca.

An equally ragged looking hyacinth trying to grow.

Cold and dreary this morning, but I found a few bright spots in the garden. And, thankfully my pea seedlings survived the night and look happy.

It's certainly not helping our health any.

Thank you. Same back at you!
