Two lanceleaf coreopsis flowers - they have a lot of ragged bright yellow petals. There is a honeybee on one flower.

I was surprised how unafraid of me this guy was as they blissfully munched on clover!

Not happy with the binding, but the piecing came together well!

Look at this perfect baby, I love him very much

A fledgling bird, possibly a robin. It has scraggly whitish feathers sticking up from its head. It is sitting in a pile of brush and branches.

I'm experiencing for the first time how incredibly quickly perennials can grow after a year to get established. I would swear this plant was not here yesterday!

Ohio Spiderwort. The plant has many long grass-like leaves, about 4 inches long, and is growing up through last year's dead leaves.

This must be what it feels like to do perfect eyeliner.

A partially finished quilt block lying on beige carpet. The quilt block is made of eight triangles in a pinwheel pattern, with navy paisley alternating with off-white. The corners meet neatly and precisely at the center.

Learning just enough Javascript to get myself in trouble. (It's going to be a Concept Table Wizard for automating some of the syntax for doing lit reviews.)

A web page under construction. It asks for input from the user, which is given as "mustard, bread, oranges."
The web page outputs mustard OR bread OR oranges OR

"I really should clean up my Zotero," I said to myself over and over this year, as this number grew ever larger, and as I kept getting requests from faculty to help out on lit reviews. (Zotero is a speedy little program but it doesn't cope SUPER well when you have 200,000 items in your library.)

A screenshot from Zotero that says "184,531 items in this view"

Portrait of a girl who is really annoyed with the noise that a bike trainer makes

The back of a cat's head and neck. She is tortoiseshell, mostly black with flecks of orange mixed in, and her ears are rather bald. She is lying on my arm; I am wearing a white shirt with multicolored checks.

A meme that depicts the Grim Reaper in heaven beside a dead "102.1." 102.1 asks, Was I a good radio station? The Grim Reaper says "no, but now I have to find a new radio to listen to for the 90 seconds between turning off Bluetooth and getting out of the car."

Gonna get rid of the bull thistles because they are invasive and painful, but before that, please enjoy this bumblebee who is lost in the sauce #bloomscrolling

Today I learned that the poet H.D. (one of the people my beloved Hildy is named for) had a life partner who was ridiculously cool. The details, alas, must wait until the article gets published. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryher_...
