A ruffed grouse just bounced against my window - it seems fine, it's off now at the side of the house running around on the forest floor beneath the hawthorns. But I got a great look at its feathers while it took a breather in the clover.

A ground bird with various brown shades in its wing feathers, a whiter throat, a yellowish head and a distinct black stripe at the sub-terminal tail feathers. It's looking to its right, with a very alert gaze. It's sitting in a mix of grass and clover. Photographed on Prince Edward Island today.

My dog caught a snow hare in the new dog yard yesterday and I felt awful (the hare squeal will haunt my nightmares) - it did get away but.. Today, Skippy nabbed a wee mouse in the house and I realize this is her dream life. Fuzzy smaller things she perceives as a threat.

I am in my first year here at my new home in PEI Canada and spend much of my days documenting what's already established here while I dream of future garden plans.

a piece of tree with bright green ovate leaves and a terminal cluster of red berries rests on a white lined page. It's a serviceberry aka juneberry aka saskatoon berry

a branch segment with deep green heart shaped leaves spiralling the branch, with multiple small clusters of lime green globules which become flowers. the specimen is resting on a wooden surface. there are also oddly shaped paler green attachments to the smaller twigs that remind me of kidneys or fairy wings or maple tree samaras. it's apparently a highly fragrant linden tree.

a cluster of tall green spikes topped with almost flat platter of bright yellow flowers in a galaxy like spiral. there's a bunch of white clover to the left, and behind a chain link fence there are two cedar raised planters filled with plants.

Time to do an update on the lawn to other project. I moved into the property in December, knowing there had been low maintenance on the lawn (which I wanted to minimize anyway) - the thatch was inches deep. It cost as much to remove it as it would have to dethatch it. So to clover I went.

A very vividly green field that appears to be mostly clover and a little bit of grass. There are small patches of higher growth, maybe weeds, maybe wildflowers. There's an old sad snowball shrub in the top right corner that desperately needs pruning.

I was gifted a truly gorgeous pottery ikebana container for a recent birthday, so I here's Ikebana 1. This vase is by the artist Peter Janson, owner of "The Dunes Studio and Gallery Cafe", open to the public at Brackley Beach PEI, Canada. There's a calla lily, a bee balm head and a red chard leaf.

A black and green ceramic rectangular piece of art which measures roughly 8" x 4" x 2" deep is mostly black on top and has a spiral green decoration on the left end which resembles petals or a shell. At the right end there is another green decoration which most reminds me of a lobster tail in shape. arising from right of the centre is a burgundy calla lily flower being hugged at it's base by a bee balm seed head still with it's leaves attached, which have streaks of crimson towards the seed head. To the left and behind the lily is a red chard leaf, almost as translucent as the calla lily - light comes through both. This arrangement is on a wooden surface. Indistinctly in the background there is a green and white Ikea poang chair with a floral design and black arms, a rocking chair with a tan seat, a big beige dog lying on a carpet near a round tan coloured coffee table, a small fireplace, a stack of wood in a curved holder, a table of chairs to the left of the fireplace on another carpet in what is otherwise wood flooring.

I have no idea why I keep getting new followers - am I an a cranky pack? My day was full of new flowers for the vase (peonies this time), and being highly entertained by my dog getting indignant that squirrels and snow hares share the land.

A large breed brown dog is sitting in an asymmetrical rust and yellow chair by a large window framed with white linen curtains. Out the window there is an indistinct view of lime green flora in the foreground, evergreens in the midground and a blue/white sky. Behind the dog on the green wall is a wood framed picture of white and red poppies. The floor is a mix of wood laminate and a textured rug in rectangular elements within a black edging - the colours include rust, yellow and beige. There is a yellow and rust coloured vase on top of the cast iron stove in the lower left corner. The vase holds a bunch of unopened white peonies.

this opener by krugman is how every musk story should be framed open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Yesterday I took a short trip. I began with a ride on the local Hyperloop, which ran through a tunnel dug by Boring Company. Then I used my neural implant to summon a fully self-driving Tesla robotaxi. While enroute I read the latest news from
the Mars colony.
OK, none of that actually happened, because those products don't exist. There are no working Hyperloops. The Boring Company has not dug any commercial tunnels. Tesla has a few self-driving — though not fully self-driving - taxis in Austin and nowhere else. (Google's Waymo driverless taxis are operational in several major hubs.) Neuralink, which is purportedly pioneering brain implants, has tested its products in a handful of patients but done no more than that. And of course there is no Mars colony: there have been no manned flights to Mars, nor the prospect of any for the foreseeable future.
Yet at various points over the past decade Elon Musk promised that each of these services would be available by 2025 if not sooner.
