The only recent photos I have of myself are these, taken with a critter cam I think. Cleaning out the garden, end of 2023 season:
and a cookout with my dog Mabel 2022:
Roos must be your version of our deer, or do you also have deer "down under?"
It must be your springtime now, headed into summer, as we are headed for winter. Time and seasonal differences between the southern and northern hemispheres and opposite sides of the globe never fail to amuse and...
That is so cool!
Reminds me of a story once where a man lost his arm to some equipment malfunction out in the field. He ran back to the house to call for help, and when the EMS arrived, they searched for the missing arm and found the gentleman's arm on the ground in a field behind the house...
Oh my word! I cannot imagine trying to cope with this craziness. Are these lambs Granny's first? At any rate I'm glad she seems to finally be accepting the babies as her own. What an ordeal!
I think I saw the same documentary. The part I found most interesting was parental care given by a mother tree to its offspring/seedlings, transferring nutrients to the little trees through their root systems. It explains why seedlings that spring up naturally seem to thrive better than...
These are phenomenal. Were these pieces all made by the same artist or by different artists?
The Peabody Museum of Natural History in Cambridge, MA (part of Harvard University) has (haven't been there in over 40 years but I assume the exhibit still exists) an exhibit of glass flowers. They...
Apart from maybe David Attenborough no one my age (or older) is climbing mountains or zip lining. So among my peers, that makes getting dressed w/o losing my balance more of a noteworthy accomplishment.
This is terrible news. It's so sad that he had so many bouts of illness in his young life; it just seems so unfair for such a nice dog. It does sound like there was some sort of autoimmune issue in play. RIP good dog Sentry.
To add to the irony, way back in 1973 when we were preparing to move to Vermont, the couple who had signed a lease to take over our Comm Ave apartment (we met them briefly) were moving there from Vermont.
That's a great looking rubber tree plant!
We moved in opposite directions it seems, you from Vermont to Boston, and we to Vermont from Boston, imagine that!

The past two days were spent turning many bags of frozen tomatoes into spaghetti sauce. First was the ordeal of coring and peeling the endless supply of tomatoes with frozen fingers. (I should have cored them before freezing.) Then boiling/simmering/stirring the pot over the course of 2 days...
Welcome Jae! Boston was my hometown long, long ago and I still have some family in the area. Looks like you have a nice large area for your garden, Love your orange flowers, cosmos(?) and marigolds.
Your collection of house plants reminds me that my oldest living thing (plant) is this rubber...
