Just Nougat looking pretty

The parrots found the sewing pins

Nice me too! They're cite and the eggs are great

@sigridellis.bsky.social my podcast app has randomly decided to play me that time you were on Productivity Alchemy and now me and my potato birds desperately want to know what kind of quail

Stupid meat prison, it should submit to your will! And if you figure that out tell me because I have the same problem

I kept pigs ONCE. The goats were afraid of them. I took this as a sign.

I have a volunteer passionflower vine in my garden I'm so happy and also dreading transplanting it due to the usual tangled mess that is my garden.

Native food ways time! The wild huckleberries are ripening. There's never enough at once for a pie but they're good in tomato sauce and salsa!

HE CAME HOME!!!

Heimdall has decided to go awol. Sif took us on a great walk through the woods but we could not find him if you are local and see our enormous white dog a) he loves you and b) let us know so we can come get his naughty butt.

Sobek hates having his tail touched and loves running through burs and brambles, so his weird rat tail is a major accomplishment for me.

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST FOUND. Long lived prehistoric goats with forward facing eyes 🤣 nature is AWESOME

I am super bad at house plants. But this toad lily I bought because the cultivar is Miyazaki is blooming!

I want you to know how much I am enjoying these posts. Your life is very exciting and interesting from over here.

Also one of my kids went through a phase where she told everyone about hyena genitalia which is a weird coincidence.

Oh man that's the BEST kind of vet. We used to have one like that but she retired we were so sad.

Oh that's really good. Finding a vet for the parrots is a pain sometimes. I live in terror of something happening to my old man budgie 😬 the vet is not far but only sees birds on Wednesday

Federal employees are heading home today; however, members of Congress will continue to receive their salary. As the humorist Andy Borowitz wrote: “That’s like eliminating the fire dept & sending checks to the arsonists.”

Is it a party FOR hagfish or ABOUT hagfish?

DAY JOB TALK AGAIN - this time with awake Magnus!

If you are furloughed or doing orderly shutdown activities, if youhave to keep working because you're essential but won't get paid until this is over, if you're a contractor, take a deep breath. This problem will have its place!

Have you gone mad with power yet?!

Or is being followed by like, a oenguin ghost 😆

If I may talk about my day job briefly: my fellow federal contractors and our govvie friends, hang onto your butts. We can make it. The next couple of days are going to suck but take deep breaths and be nice to yourselves. Observe my baby bird Magnus napping on my laptop, she loves you!

...oh no! I just did the same thing were DOOMED

She's Gabriella the Garden Sage if you're on insta or fb :) she's awesome

My native plant guru specifically recommends transplanting maypops in the fall. Go for it!

A small but persistent passion flower vinr

They're REALLY difficult to start from seeds. Like, I got two plants out of like fifty seeds. Once they're up they're pretty indestructible tho. I thought I killed them more than once but they came back, again!

"Don't look up" as motivation to do big things, I'll take it lol

WHAT. NO. Six months behind a plow for writer. Then they can come help me put up hay with minimal machinery (because machinery is expensive). Sedentary for the love of God have they ever even SEEN a farm? Any farm?

Gotta check if there are SECRET snacks

All Bugs Go To Kevin is a delight in these trying times, and also consistently identifies mystery bugs.
