Today’s #dill harvest! I saved some from the current crop to use fresh in tomorrow’s cooking. Considering where #oilreserves are now, I’m glad we are growing tomatoes. Apparently they were subject to the most inflation in this stage of the fall of the empire. #garden #farmlife
This is gonna be some #dill #compoundbutter. All of those times of wasting money try to get starts to grow in the garden and it turns out that the secret is starting a ton of them from seed. #farmlife #garden
Rufus (RuRu, Rustifer, Rudy Patooty) would like to ambivalently wish you a happy holiday. #cat #affinity #4thofjuly
I love how raindrops bead up on the red orach leaves. #gardening #farmlife
I *did* put a little paint on Recovering Succulents, ballpoint pen & watercolor, 6 x 9 in. I only had about 20 minutes and there as guitar practice going on in the other room at the time. #sketch #lifedrawing #succulents
Now that my #portfolio index is pretty much done, I really need to get off my ass & run it thru a proofing check. But having a looming biopsy is distracting & then, there are hardly any #jobs out there. With additional factors like being older GenX and in a saturated & provincial location.
Had a *very* broken sleep & then my senior kitty got me wide awake and dressed way too early. I have another follow-up medical appointment at 11, so I am officially in “Tired #WaitingMode” until it’s over. The culprit below. #cat
Red Orach leaves *really* look #magenta. The baby leaves are especially beautiful. #gardening #PNW #redorach
Messy Marvin made a messy pie. This is with last year’s berries! Gotta make room in the deep freeze for more. #homecooking #blueberrypie #urbanfarmer
Well…. 😂 they’ve been repaving Dosch road now since June 2 & were SUPPOSED to be done on the 16th. Good thing we didn’t get any fucking frozen food I guess. #pdx
Pruned my Red Orach plants today. I *thought* I remembered Gemini telling me I shouldn’t let them get too tall. I’d remembered right: 12-18” is the perfect height to keep the plant’s focus on the leaves, rather than the stalk. #pnw #gardening #redorach
#Sketch, “Recovering Succulents”, 6 x 9 in. Ballpoint pen on paper. #lifedrawing #art
My quiche turned out great! Made with mushrooms, plenty of minced garlic, #homegrown thyme & sour cream! #brunch #pdx
Lady Theodora would like her breakfast. The clowder has to wait until I’ve had my first cup of covfefe every day. Those are the fucking rules. #cat
Dinner! Rigatoni noodles with homemade turkey & tomato sauce, topped with cheese & chives. #dinner #homecooking
Got a smidge of oregano to dehydrate. We’ve got a main bush & a rogue one & they are PROLIFIC. #pnwgardening
Current Mood. In other news, I got permabanned from Reddit today. The censorship has gotten insane there, since Cheetolini II. On a post titled, “Whether people want to acknowledge it or not, having children is just creating more wage slaves” I said I feel very sorry for babies & little kids.
My heart breaks every single day this year. I’m no Boddhisatva unfortunately. #halloween #hell #demons
Rikki Tikki Tako. The rugs are on the railing because it rains in the bathroom. #cat
Greetings from ICE ravaged Portland, where the secret police are brutalising peaceful protesters daily.
My anxiety runneth over. Walking my senior kitty, Sir Henry, to self soothe a little.
That didn’t suck. Roasted chicken with homemade stuff & gravy, mashed potatoes.
