I do enjoy Brat Farrar, Ms Pym Disposes, and The Franchise Affair (in that order)

Done!

I do not understand the hate Daylight Saving gets—if you fly from LA to Denver do you bitterly bemoan your crushing jet lag? Also, Daylight Saving helps give us our lovely long summer evenings. 🤷🌞🌞🌞

It was 90 today in my part of LA…90!!! I just went out and did some emergency night watering 🙀😫

I guarantee that using that on cats will not lead to ‘extra pur’

One thing the ‘info’ tool in iPhoto is good at is identifying butterflies—this is a red admiral

One of my favorite poems about art. another is:

That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall,
Looking as if she were alive. I call
That piece a wonder, now; Fra Pandolf’s hands
Worked busily a day, and there she stands.
Will’t please you sit and look at her?

TFW washing the last shred of sink debris down the disposal using the spray nozzle has become your one goal in life and you have used at least a shower’s-worth of water in the endeavor and it’s you vs the kitchen scrap in an epic grudge match and at last you triumph… sweet #victory

Mebbe I will shove it in the shed…it’s not like we will need it any time soon 😭😭😭

If someone knows the answer I would appreciate hearing it! I am building an outdoor bar (below). I am painting it with oil-based enamel. I got one coat on and could do another around noon tomorrow. But, we have rain starting at midnight tomorrow. Should I paint or hold off? #paint #carpentry

We made the ‘Bad Bunny’ cocktail from Danny Trejo’s cookbook for half-time and it was tasty!!!! #SuperBowl #DannyTrejo

It’s late winter, but the garden is kicking into gear #garden

A good day to go to a nursery! #garden

Not cheap but it does absorb beautifully
