So far today I have made blackberry jam and watched Hamilton win. Not a bad day, overall.

Two halves of an English muffin. One is covered in blackberry jam, and the other just has a nibble of jam on one side.

It's fledgling season, so now begins the exciting task of keeping the mockingbird fledglings out of the road at work. We rounded up two this morning and moved them under the trees. BUT WILL THEY STAY THERE? NO.

A red curb by pavement. Dried leaves and dirt by the curb almost disguise a belligerent baby mockingbird.

It's just this forever! (Or at least today)

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent picture of your pet(s)

There is a brown paper gift bag. Looking inside, the only visible in the darkness is one green eye of my black cat.

Gotta celebrate the small stuff, like: a pumpkin roll that turned out well and the purchase of a very good planner for next year.

This part, specifically, seems like it has implications for the "use LLMs to create course materials" crowd infecting education.

A screenshot from the article that reads, "...invested less effort in subsequently writing their advice, and ultimately wrote advice that was shorter, less factual and more generic. In turn, when this advice was presented to an independent sample of readers, who were unaware of which tool had been used to learn about the topic, they found the advice to be less informative, less helpful, and they were less likely to adopt it."

My local Meals on Wheels (Montgomery County) is doing a food drive for Thanksgiving. Is yours? (I like an excuse to get crafty!)

Would you like an internet kitten? She doesn't make it easier to get out of bed, but she's cute!

I have painted my pumpkin for this year! Seize the bone! #mst3k

There is a praying mantis hanging onto the bottom of the hummingbird feeder. This has caused some concern amongst the hummingbirds

A hummingbird feeder is hanging from a plumeria tree, and a praying mantis is barely visible hanging underneath the feeder.

The dog was climbing the walls, and it was all because she spotted this lovely lady. Through the power of the zoom lens, we could even tell that she has at least one baby tucked in her pouch!

I usually let the zinnias go to seed, but I decided to cut a few for a bouquet!

Kicked off my day supporting the local foodbank (and outrunning the rain)! Storms are moving in, so the protest this afternoon might not happen/become a car parade (we take the lightning seriously)

Mine has started popping a picture with a little factoid up there. Have they switched it from video for you? This one can be shoved mostly out of the way and isn't sitting over the results, thank goodness!

So now I'm going to make a fancier digital art version, I guess? I just did a quick thing on paper for her.

Welll, we're all slogging through this week. Here's a gift to help us through.

I went for a walk in the woods this morning. It's always special when there's snow this far south!

The cardinals are hogging the bird feeder, but this young guy wanted to check out what the finches were into. (Ignore the slobbery smudges on the window.)

That's amazing! We have some houses we visit every year so that we can see mysteries like Snowman in the Tree. Sorely tempted to knock on their door and tell them how much we enjoy it!
