Finally got all my fall plantings in. Rattlesnake master, meadow blazing star, rose mallow hibiscus, common milkweed, boneset, big & little bluestem. Next up will be extracting seeds from my various other natives to winter sow in December. Had good success last year doing that in solarized areas.

Yeah, no. We sell those at my store, $16.99@. There ain’t no chocolate in the world worth $17, I don’t care what it’s filled with. I’ll stick with this from Aldi.

Nice ace/asexual erasure here, my otherwise lovely bird calendar. The “A” stands for “asexual” not “ally.” You want to be an ally, use LGBTQIA properly. I do not consider myself queer. I’m also not a +. How hard is it to put 2 more letters?

In case you’ve ever wondered what type of moth woolly bear caterpillars turn into, this is an Isabella tiger moth.

I downloaded NASA’s Spot the Station app today as they’re dropping email notices about when the ISS passes overhead. It made a northerly fly by just a few minutes ago.

Find the joy. How about the joy of a 75F day where I can sit on my deck with my cats and enjoy the bird songs. Fixed some hummingbird nectar in anticipation of their arrival soon, as well as rose-breasted grosbeaks, house wrens and Baltimore orioles. 😁

I swear that this is a symptom of a much larger societal problem. Even if you have a shitty car and don’t care if other people hit it when they open their car door, you could at least be decent enough to park so others can comfortably get in their vehicle.

The FBI investigates child sex abuse. This case involved a French surgeon who’s since been accused of raping and abusing HUNDREDS of children. The FBI originally alerted French authorities. But now the FBI is being lead by idiots and I’m sure sex abusers are cheering.

I believe this is called a dry slot. But to the west there’s plenty more coming. Another 5” forecast. I measured 4” so far. And even though I’m in said dry a lot right now it’s coming down pretty good and the wind is constant >15mph and gusty. Hundreds of birds in my yard, pic is just one area.

40% of Americans are wealthy enough to do this?? 40% may WANT TO buy a vacation home, but I find it impossible to believe that 40% could actually afford to do so.

Well, well. No wonder a lady told one of my associates tonight, “No one here knows anything.” Karen, we can’t help you unless you know what gauge the piercing is so we can show you your choices. Or you can just buy something we suggest and tell the recipient they can exchange it if needed.

Perfect little snowflakes this morning with very sparse bits of graupel. Why does iOS spellcheck not know the term “graupel?”

12º this morning at 6am with a 20mph wind, with gusts at least 30mph. Livin' on the prairie is no joke. I go outside just after some coffee and put up bird feeders every morning, even in this weather. It's worth it. Here's a striking red-headed woodpecker in warmer weather.

Let me go on a weather rant for a minute. I dislike this kind of map because it doesn’t tell us what “normal” temps would be for the areas affected so how are we supposed to tell whether or not it’s something to be troubled by. The dark blue is ominous but not really. It will be in the 30s.
