Okay I couldn't wait until tomorrow I knew I'd be so sad if he was gone. Went back today. Bird husband obtained 🤭

I'm attending and by attending I mean looking around and mousing over people and being VERY shy and scared to be here :D;;; But I attended.

This was a veeery close second and as much as I liked the idea of a she/her Diarbbitmon (and a nature guardian type), I wish Bastemon wasn't... Like That. Slightly redesigning her (not just color shift) defeated my canon-only purpose. Didn't like other Ultimates here and didn't want to use Antylamon

Few months back I went "if I had a canon-only Digimon who would it be" and after months of waffling I think this is she! With a smidge of color shifting, as a treat. I got Lopmon from a partner quiz ages ago and she IS my favourite colour combo. I briefly made a Terriermon knockoff as a child, too.

One walk done so far in my mum's neighborhood and had two separate people call this goober a big wolf (endearingly) and a couple called out to us asking what breed he was because he's so tall xD Barley attracts attention!

One of my genuinely most favourite random occurences during the summer: my neighbour practicing her bagpipes. Really makes me feel like I'm gardening in the Maritimes! ☺️

Finally got the LFR colorway of these shoulders so my Monk can have the outfit she's wanted since TWW 💙

Okay the D4 crossover Raven Lord is sick as hell. I'm still not gonna spend money on Platinum in that game but it IS dang cool. Also I wish there was a high resolution version of this image - super-detailed Sethekk Halls, bonus arakkoa mask 👀 (Maybe there is somewhere?)

Look at these, they're beautiful!! Especially having a defined sunlight location like this. I don't recall anything so tangible being done since like.... Argus' floating planet pieces? (SL had floating distant islands but the ground was still fog-hidden. Have I forgotten any zones that did do this?)

Today is an outlier and it's going right back down in temps tomorrow (+ a shitton of rain), but today it is 17°C and the windows are open for the first time this year 🤩

You know, through all of TWW, until today, I always thought that book icon above the Delve tools was a piece of cheese. And I never even questioned it. Not even a second thought as to why it would be cheese.

World of Warcraft screenshot of a clickable item with a bright golden icon of a tome floating above it. But like, it's very square and a bit yellow-orange, so it looks like a slice of processed cheese.

Pro at Taking Forever To Watch Things (me) has finally gotten around to watching the bird Beauty and the Beast 👀 (Panna a Netvor). It was good! Also was interesting to half-understand it because of Czech-Polish language similarities.

I'm so so excited for Housing I scoped out this perfect pair of plots (48 and 53) for me and husbird that are so close that you can share a path between the almost-touching corners 🥺 And they have the cutest little cul-de-sac just for the two!

Big rain expected tomorrow so we made a point to pick our apples today 👀 Last year this tree only had like twelve apples on it. Sure made up for it this year, despite the drought!

Photo of three large bag's worth of reddish-yellow apples, with two held in hand for scale. I don't know how many this is. It's a lot. One of those bags is an Ikea bag, you know how huge those are as a container.

Okay I'm at 27 jars of our go-to salsa recipe, and still have this many tomatoes to go through (and more still ripening on the vine). I think I might try out some other salsa recipes now lol. I'm all ears if anyone has their own go-to recipe (non-spicy or easily de-spiced)

Photo of a lot of tomatoes, ripe and ripening. I don't know how many. Maybe 12kg or so?

Really wish Blizzard didn't decide that the upper half of the tone scale counted as "black" clothing. Considering this is their black/white chess-themed month I think this is as dark as it gets. The sleeves of that shirt, comparatively, are black. Yet they call this a "midnight" skirt -_-

Screenshot of a Warcraft character wearing a mid-tone grey skirt that the game devs think qualifies as being called "midnight" colored. Maybe in California's light-polluted city skies.

Finally got my poor waiting potted plants in!!! (And did a little nursery trip for a couple shrubs). I still need to move a few perennials over that I already have, but that's probably it for buying live plants this year. And then seed sales in the fall/winter 👀

Photo of a long, three-sectioned garden with a low stone retaining wall in front of it. It is mostly filled with undyed wood chips, with a number of tiny baby perennials planted around. They'll get bigger!!

Been trying to quickly work on a somewhat-time-sensitive task as weather and physical condition allows: getting the rest of the prep done on this section of front garden we've been re-building. Timely part being that the truck is laden with dirt and we kinda really need to get groceries soon lol

Looks like this year it's gonna have SIX flowers!!! 💜 I'm gonna move it into a healthier spot later this summer :3 It's just growing on the side of a gravel path right now.
