When your kindergartener says he wants to be an artist when he grows up and you’re simultaneously thrilled and appalled.

Makes sense! I’m glad you’ve gotten to experience some. :)

what if there was a snabbit. just consider it

That movie was seriously formative for my brain. Just amazingly unique while also referencing so much at the same time.

That would be amazing, crossing fingers

Are eastern bluebirds a possibility there? I’m not familiar!

Ooof. So close. Sorry, that was my best suggestion

Oh this is lovely!!

Started a series! I want to print bookmarks or cards or something people would actually use or keep… of native (upper-mid US) plants with a paired benefitting species and including printed info about them on the back

First one is wild strawberry & the grey hairstreak butterfly 🍓 🦋

Four western bluebirds sit on a deck railing and feeder, the ground behind them is snowy and the trees still don’t have leaves.

The western bluebirds have arrived! They seem tired. 🪶

A big reason I’m digital now. Well, that and allergies.

I know the iPad and pencil are a heavy financial lift, though.

Question- is Apple phone’s “assistive Access” mode enabled? My dad has early Alzheimer’s and has found it extremely helpful. Much larger buttons, fewer of them.

A tiny saw-whet owl perched on a horizontal branch of a coniferous tree, with a larger branch just above its head, creating a frame. It is in profile view, but has its head turned and is looking directly at me with its yellow eyes

Whenever I'm lucky enough to find a Northern Saw-whet Owl, they are usually sound asleep. This one was awake and active, looking around, especially straight down - something on the ground had its interest. #birds #birding #HamOnt #owl

Yes! It’s rough out there! All supposed to melt off tomorrow of course…

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

Be well. 🌸

Humming bird migration dates.

The hummers are coming! Get your feeders cleaned and ready. 🌱

The 5yo tells me he loves her, even though she still won’t sit on his lap or let him pet her more than once or twice. #catSky

Morning Emergency Kitten- tiny protests

Thanks. 😮‍💨

Nope. I’m pulling for one or the other, not both, at a minimum. The Universe owes me a solid, honestly.

Um. Update. Second window is showing stuff that is typically only lupus related. So now I have no idea what’s going on. Hopefully will get a phone call this next week.

More affirming bloodwork, yay I suppose? Looks like autoimmune arthritis for sure.
