My husband is such a romantic.

Solo marketing today. I sold out of everything pretty quickly!

I picked and ate a bunch of tomatoes! 🌱

A five-ish gallon harvest bucket filled with multiple colors of cherry tomatoes. Green, orange, purple, red, and pink.

What in the world is going on with these headlines? My husband just read the second one to me three times and then I had to go look at it myself.

A screenshot of wcia.come with two headlines.
"Mahomet product gearing up for second season of OVC football"
And
"Tuscola product growing mentally two years into collegiate track"

We have cucumbers!

A wood dining room floor with a very full harvest basket and more cucumbers on the floor. There are also a few eggplants.

People who think it's peaceful and quiet in the country have clearly never been outside at dusk.

These are very real photos in a listing for a "tactical" propane torch.

A man using an insanely large gun-shaped propane torch to light a grill that strangely already has veggies and a cooked steak on it.

I had never heard of Quillette, and now I can't unsee this paragraph.

Did the humanities go woke because they went broke? That scenario has become one
of the more persuasive explanations for the present crisis in the humanities. As their enrolments declined and federal funding shrank, and universities began sending money (and, thus, prestige) toward STEM and professional programs, the humanities went looking for support wherever they could find it. If serious funders wanted academic work to be framed in the
language of social justice, then scholars were willing to adapt accordingly. Tyler
Austin Harper recently made this case in The Atlantic, arguing that what looked like ideological capture may, in fact, be economic desperation.

Poor Winchester. He's so abused. The husband wouldn't take him out to work in the field with him because the heat index is already over 90 and he has to stay in the a/c with me.

The best thing about staying in a fancy hotel.

Last night and this morning.

The moon peaking through some very intense looking clouds.

The sun coming up over a tree line. The sky is cloudy and very pink.

Who else read this as UK cannot Con Air its way out of this heatwave, and wondered how they could dare question the power of Nicolas Cage?

Two big storms today. Three tornado warnings so far.

A photo of a swimming pool with the water right up to the top. You can see that it is overflowing from the skimmer basket because there is water flowing along the side.

A photo of our creek after the first storm. You can see that the water was super wide where the grass and mint are all pressed down.

Why is no one talking about the most important thing here?!

Fun night over here.

Two separate tornado warnings 36 minutes apart.

Morning walk. Big clouds today!

What is happening here?

The many faces of Winchester today. 🐕

Winchester laying on the floor in a very attentive full down. He is hoping for a slice of apple.

Winchester on the floor just completely conked after a hard day of garden supervising and barking at random trucks that drove past.

Winchester in the throws of ennui because he is being made to wait five more minutes before he gets his w-a-l-k. There is a toy broccoli nearby.

Squash season is upon us! 🌱

Our first farmers market! We sold out of everything but a few bunches of collards. 🌱

A table full of veggies. In the foreground are French breakfast radishes, hakurei turnips, and minuet Napa cabbages.

The other half of the table full of collards, rainbow chard, lacinato kale, and flamingo spinach.

We had an unexpected visitor in the chicken coop this morning.

This dude doesn't need muscles because he can take you out with his giant forehead.

A white guy named Joshua Abbotoy. He looks a little confused and has a giant five head.

I have one, too!

A hot pink, very spiky thistle.

Peas and fave beans are blooming! 🌱

A close up photo of a pea flower. It is whiteish with green veins and looks a bit like a praying mantis face. Behind you can see some greens and cabbages.

Someone was in need of good belly rubs.

The same dog now with his arms outstretched in the air and his body turning to the side. Still upside down.

Radish glamour shots. Yes, these are from the market garden. You gotta check the goods before you sell them to make sure they're tasty!
