I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. E. B. White

I went to an actual shoe store yesterday. The salesperson helped me find the perfect pair; I didn't have to order multiples from Amazon, return and exchange etc. I came away with the exact pair I needed.

Eggs #backyardchickens

Left to right: light pinky-beige from my Blue-Laced Wyandotte, blueish-green from my Whiting's True Green, olive green from my Americana, small white egg from my Black Polish Crested, light pink from my Speckled Sussex, and reddish brown from my Rhode Island Red. My Bielefelder isn't laying for some reason.

One of our robins sitting in the birdbath, blocking the panels on the solar-powered fountain. Still beautiful. Calm and restful. Easy to get my prescribed 5-minutes daily "touch grass" time.

Backyard with a copper birdbath. There's a robin sitting in the birdbath. It overlooks some newly planted annuals, including a black-eyed Susan.

Chicken break.

Overhead shot of a jeans-clad knee and a hand, full of tasty dandelion greens. Circling around are 6 hens in varying shades of red and brown.

Google's not the only AI having trouble figuring out, well, time:

I asked Kagi Search AI "Is it 2027 next year?" Its answer: "No, 2027 is not next year. Since the current year is 2026, the next calendar year is 2027."

I dropped my ballot off yesterday, and received a text just now that it's been accepted and counted!

Ember on the bench

My backyard, from back to front: a wall of deciduous trees with one Western Red Cedar. Split rail fence. Pink azaleas. Lush bright green lawn. Deck with built in bench overseeing the lawn. Low round clay pot at the foot of the bench, and finally my sage green Ember mug on the end of the bench.

Backyard joy.

This is our backyard garden. Looking over a small grassy area and between two fruit trees we see two 3 feet tall cedar beds. Leaning against the right end bed is a straw bale. Thru those you can see the freshly amended and tilled garden bed. And just beyond that is my chicken coop.

I took all the McVitie's Digestives.

6 years ago today, my COVID "oh this is a big deal" shopping cart. I already had enough toilet paper.

A wall mural of a very helpful saying, "Fail Harder". The mural is made up of 100,000 clear pushpins. The pushpins comprise the negative space of the Fail Harder script. The mural is located in the Portland office of the ad agency Wieden Kennedy.

Ah. Dark sacred night. Not "Dogs say goodnight." Still - what a wonderful world.

Moonrise, Hillsboro OR Photog: Sue Swain

The horizon line cuts the landscape in half - the bottom is a mown field and the top is a grey blue sky. A row of wintery leafless apple trees march across the midline, almost hand-in-hand. Half of full moon is centred in that line, pink.

Black and white photo of Nima, a small black cat perched on top of a cat post and staring at you with crazy demon eyes. She's leaning forward and down, her two front legs clutching down like she's about to launch.

The light is coming back.

Clementine lantern on top of small rocks.

Clementine lamp - a hollowed out tangerine uses the center pith as a wick picking up the olive oil that's been poured into the bottom.

Oh dear.

Poster for "The Exorcist". It's the poster with the possessed girl, all green, face rotting and distorted. Lovely. Happy 2026.

"You just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you." I ... well, they might be right.

As of 4:17 PT they decided "sexually" didn't belong in the headline.

The NYT headline has changed to "A Brooklyn federal judge found that Jonathan Braun had violated the rules of his release by assaulting a nanny, swinging an IV pole at a nurse and dodging tolls in luxury cars", removing the "sexually" from "sexually assaulted a nanny".
