The thing is that my glasses are for mild myopia and I can't read with them on. I don't do a lot of outdoor reading, but when I do I guess I usually sit in the shade.

I stopped wearing sunglasses when I got glasses. I did dig out an old pair, but the lenses were trashed.
It's 70 out so I thought I would sit outside and read, but the light reflecting off the page was unbearable. It probably doesn't help that I've been living like a mole person for the better part of a year.

Now that it's gotten cold, Junior and Blizzard have started doing cute snuggles. Poor Fluffy is the third wheel.
I don't have experience with it, but you could try bluing.
In 2016, Jane Goodall spoke at the International Primatological Society meetings. She closed her talk asking everyone to thank the primates we studied not with applause, but with their calls. And so a room full of Very Eminent Primatologists made delighted monkey noises to Jane Goodall. ⚱️🐒🧪🌍
I'm so sorry.
Vintage lunchbox thread
Vintage metal lunchbox featuring Disney's Robin Hood. Prince John is sitting on a throne with his hands full of gold coins while Sir Hiss looks on and a rhino guard keeps watch. Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, and Skippy the rabbit boy are behind the throne stealing moneybags.
I had everyone's foxy childhood crush on mine.
This is the dream.
I think it's swords you're supposed to throw into lakes. Perhaps you can trade.
I enjoy the Mako but the Hammerhead is my archnemesis.
Yeah, I'm good. 👍
I'm in for a breast exam and the gown they gave me is so small that if I pull it tight I'm still bare from nipple to nipple.
A long black beetle with a gray stripe down it's back on the leaf of catnip plant
Saw this unfamiliar but dapper-looking beetle when harvesting catnip to dry. inaturalist pegged it as a burning blister beetle, which doesn't sound like a bug to mess with. I looked it up and they do blister your skin and you absolutely do not want to eat them. Horses have died from eating too many.
They're hoping for a repeat of the 1928 Lake Okeechobee hurricane.
I went out with a flashlight to pick raspberries for my cheesecake and immediately got dive-bombed by moths. Worth it, but I don't think I'm going to make a habit of midnight gardening.
A baby raccoon just honked threateningly at me. Really didn't expect him to make that sound or be that determined to get at the cat food.
I just came across this article the other day. It's for Chicago, so idk if any of these species will be native for you, but it's got good info on pots and soil, and maybe you can find something similar for your new area. wildones.org/native-plant...
If it helps, a lot of native plants, ones that don't have a taproot, will do just fine being moved, even over and over again. It's work, but it takes experience growing a plant to maturity to figure out where it's going to look and grow well.
Consider renting a sod cutter. A manual one is cheap but incredibly hard work. Gas-powered one is more expensive, but it's easier than digging up grass with a shovel and much faster than killing your grass by smothering it.
Happy Birthday!
If you want to do further comparison, there was an episode of American Experience several years ago.
#flowerreport is a thing, but you should start #pollinatorreport and get people talking about what's buzzing. For me it's the borage^ and very last blooms of the baptisia*.
illinoiswildflowers.info is great for Illinois. I also check the range maps on prairiemoon.com. If you want something that will return a result for non-natives, too, there's missouribotanicalgarden.org
I think I have a hori hori knife buried in a raised bed, but I can't find it.

This handsome gentleman won't let me smooch him.
