Took my stupid, disabled dog on a "walk" yesterday and because of the stupidity, he got himself stuck on a block of ice:


Don't worry, he got free:

Hard drive cover, but overall good advice.

Masks make us recycle CO2, and FURTHERMORE!

Loving the wildlife. Sorry about your thumb, DrBouvenstein - keep it clean and use antiseptic cream - you'll do OK.

Food and animals - that's what your phone's camera is for.

Ha, man, if I had money every time I did something stupid and injured myself. Especially my left hand, always getting in the way of my knives and scissors.

But agreed, food and animals are much better...here's Chester after having some teeth extracted yesterday:


He's been a little groggy since then, but it's for the best, now he can eat without pain. :)

A little Kei truck imported from Japan someone in my neighborhood has.

I love those little trucks and wish I had several thousand to import one myself...maybe I'll leave a note and see if he wants to sell...

The first food from my garden this year, held by my GF.

I need to try and plant more food-bearing perennials, a one and done approach is MUCH easier then replanting tomatoes and peppers every year.

I found some weird dogs.

Oh man, those antlers are at full fuzz, too. In a month or so those are going to be SO GROSS and bloody.

Antlers are such a weird thing...grow from nothing in the spring to that, covered in velvet and blood...then blood vessels close, the velvet starts to fall off, and they scrape the crap out of them on trees to remove it all. They hang out as just exposed bone for a couple more months...then they fall off and start the process all over again back in spring.

Your chickens are laying weird-rear end eggs.

Speaking of weird-rear end, I go on walks around my office a lot and there's a lot of ghost pipe flowers in the woods around here:



Often mistaken for fungi, but they're flowers but produce no chlorophyll. They are in a weird relationship with nearby trees, who's energy they get via an intermediate fungus.

quote:

How does this plant survive without the green pigment chlorophyll? Chlorophyll is responsible for harnessing the sun’s energy to produce carbohydrates, a process known as photosynthesis. Ghost pipe saps nutrients and carbohydrates from tree roots through an intermediate source, myccorhizal fungi in the genera Russula and Lactarius.

Thrift store near me had a working Bingo machine, and damned if I wasn't tempted, but I have no idea what I'd use it for...or where to put it.

Processed tomatoes from the garden, got the light just right

Tis the season:


My cucumbers did horrendous this year...I might get enough for another pint, but all had to be slices, just too small and ugly looking for whole or even spears.

I think last year I managed at least 3 quarts and 6 or 7 pints of various types...slices, spears, wholes, and a mix of bread and butter, traditional dill, spicy dill, and sweet and spicy.

I love picking and got real disappointed with my crop this year. Didn't even bother to can them for real, they're just going to be fridge pickles.

They're doing a school supplies drive at work. Fair enough, I guess, I think it'd be better to just find schools more , but what can you do?

Anyway, this is one of the donation bins where some soul decided to donate some stuff from their department supply cabinet they felt they didn't need anymore.

A used and empty tape dispenser? A file folder holder? Oh yeah, kids go crazy for those.

And what's this on the right?

These two jerks made a nest in the gutter directly above my bedroom, right over the downspout.






So now not only are they very loud early in the morning, but it causes the gutter to overflow and not work properly when it rains. Stupid doves.

Maybe when their kid has left , I won't feel guilty moving the nest?
