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.

doofus doggo Skippy who wore her nose down to pink skin trying to hide a bone.

A lean muscular big-chested lab mix in beige and black (mostly beige, with a darker stripe down the back, black ears, small round dark eyebrows )and a black muzzle which is worn down to tender pink from repeated attempts to hide a bone from me.

here's Skippy in her new harness

A brown dog with a black muzzle and ears and a giant pink tongue is sitting on a floor styled to look like wood but is tile, wearing a new chest harness which is a dream to walk her on.

She is a better mouser/ratter than any cat I have ever owned - she nailed a bunch of rats at my last home. I trust her absolutely at keeping my house my clean of mice. Squirrels and bunnies unfortunately meet her vermin rating.

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.

You did the work, you needed the money, but it was dirty money, so you righteously passed it along. But um, you still need the money, and did the work, and had a heart. It was an easy fix. Make me a fucking billionaire, I can do this for everyone.

Hey, I want to both acknowledge your deep honesty about this awful transaction, and honour how you paid it on. But I also want to make your world right, so I'd love to gift you the same amount you felt obliged to pass along. Because I can, and because rigorous truth deserves a reward. I'lll DM you.

That was a fun exercise in fucking up their data -because of course wherever possible I said Nah, not useful. Of course they designed the survey to be flattering -they always do. I found ways to still annoy them.

A snapshot of a survey with only questions 25-27 on screen. Question 25. Describe a recent moment where AI let you down. Next line, my answer, Always.
Question 26. What is the best thing AI has ever helped you to do? Easy answer. NOTHING.
Question 27. What is one thing that would most reduce your frustration with AI? (I'm gonna just have giant LMAO that they are so aware of the annoyance aspect that they just acknowledge it, HAHAHHAHA)
And I answered "If you could just fuck off out of the world, would be great.

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.
