The front panel of a cedar nest box with a hole saw bit sitting on it.

Nest box filled with pine shavings

Installed nest box. They’ve pecked all around the eaves on this dormer and the one on the other side of the cabin. Let’s hope they’ll like this east side.

So we have a Flicker problem. Hopefully they’ll think this is a good alternative. #nestbox 🪺 #weekendproject

Ugh. Maybe more rain these next couple months 🤞

I’m with you sis! ☀️

It’s unseasonably warm, any trace of snow is gone, and the Spring winds have started already. It’s gonna be a long 4 months... 💨

My favorite day of the year!!! Let the evening light begin!

This is fantastic.

I am screaming this from the rooftops!!! 📢💥

Like clockwork.

Care to elaborate?

DarkSky International opposes Reflect Orbital’s proposed orbital illumination system DarkSky International recently released an organizational statement in response to Reflect Orbital’s proposal to use in-space mirrors to reflect sunlight to…

CA startup wants to illuminate earth at night with giant space mirrors. Honestly can’t make this shit up. Thank goodness for DSI.

Do Dems have a plan to reverse all his damage? If you get the midterms there will be 1 chance to get this country back on track fiscally before Rs blame you for everything. Dems better find their roots and connect with the working class! And start paying down the deficit!

Ngl bro this the funniest thing I’ve read this morning.

I’m hoping for the same for March. We’re heading out of town for a few weeks and I’ve just finished potting up the first round of seedlings. I have over 200 plants that our housesitter will not know what to do with 🤣

Trump's war on Iran: Shifting stories and unanswered questions BBC's Analysis editor Ros Atkins looks at the mixed messaging given by President Donald Trump's administration for its actions in Iran.

Imagine if our domestic MSM would report with the same amount of contempt. 😂

Hi! Will plant when we get back in late April or, if too cold, early May. 🪏

6-pack on the left is Bare Stem Biscuitroot, on the right is Mules Ears. They’ll go into 2” band pots. The Lomatium will go in the large garden island near a Garry Oak. And on the shrub steppe mound at the driveway. Mules Ears can be highly aggressive, so the plan is to plant them in an old unused irrigation pond. There are some snow berries and woods roses that have come up in the last few years, that are starting to form a small thicket. I may also try a couple amongst the aspen saplings in the pasture behind the stables.

Holy smokes! I gave the seedlings their first feed on Friday - a very dilute Dr Earth’s “fertilizer tea” (I was aiming for .5-.5-.5). Left for 3 days and got home to find lots of new foliage and roots! Guess I’m potting up this week! The Wyethia and Lomatium especially put on a lot of leaf size. 🌱

Snowy hgh elevation forest of fir,cedar and hemlocks with snowshoe broken trail. It’s snowing and silent, except for a large flock of passerines circling around overhead.

Just me and the PCT

Good on you Mercie! We love the patio at SH. Quite like the beer at Valley tho, they do some great hazies.

Exactly! Just got a text from hubby at White Pass reporting a nice powder day up there at least. ⛷️🤞❄️

You know it’s a drought when you’re super excited about 1/2” of snow on the ground. ❄️❄️

Plug for Seattle Urban Raptor Project, who tracks our urban peregrines! They also have volunteers who stand by during fledging season, to rescue unsuccessful fledging attempts. (Drowning/being run over, etc.)

He said this in the context that the courts ruling gave him an alternative route to tariffs. Dumbshit Kavanaugh said in his dissent that there were other ways he could impose tariffs. Now he’s imposed an additional 10%!!

The posters are gorgeous, I esp like the Bee Balm. Beautiful color combo 💛🧡🩷

Sticky Getanium seedlings in a six-pack. No germination in the two front cells.

The large, deeply lobed, dark green leaves of Sticky geranium are in the foreground, with their pink blooms above. This is one of the plants in my garden I collected seed from. To the right is Idaho fescue, left are the leaves of bearded iris. Middle of photo are Penstemon Barbatus, Rudbeckia, Rocky Mtn bee plant and Annual Sunflowers. Up top to the left is an elk eaten fir, with ridge and sky behind.

These native Sticky Geranium (Geranium viscosissimum) seedlings are just 2 weeks old! First time growing these, I can’t believe how fast they’ve grown, with only water and grow lights. Not a great germination rate, but I’ll look for seedlings around the parent plants in a couple of months.

HummingbirdCentral.net manages the migration map. It’s easy to report your first arrival! Our Rufous are still 6 weeks away, the leaders show up 3/25-4/3. I can go to past years and click my pin to see when they arrived.

Trump revokes EPA finding on greenhouse gas threat in huge blow to climate change regulations EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin officially revoked the endangerment finding, in a huge blow to U.S. efforts to fight climate change.

The stupidity, ignorance and greed of Trump and the rest of his clown show is just mind boggling.

The arm of a chair. Its fabric has been shredded by two cats, even though there is a scratching post about three feet away, next to the similarly shredded matching chair.

Congrats. How’s your furniture? Imps. All of them.

Took my son and a friend out of school to go 12 years ago and it was so much fun! He’s a “worldwide 12” now and is insisting we go to the parade for him! Have fun - they’ll never forget it!!
