librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Ten pints of applesauce for the pantry (and they all sealed)! I love apple season. 000
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Between the dehydrator and canning, I’m caught up on tomatoes. 010
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 13/08/2026When you have an abundance of very ripe tomatoes but no energy to deal with them on account of being sick, the dehydrator is your friend. All you gotta do is slice them up, spread them out, and plug it in. 100

librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 31/07/2026It was a banner day in the garden, between my first Very Large Tomato (1 lb 5.4 oz) finally starting to ripen and a monarch visitor to my milkweed! 000
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I’ve been picking about a tomato per day this week and it’s fun to watch them change colors. 010
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I didn’t check my garden yesterday because of the air quality and that thing happened. 010
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Two month zucchini update, starting to worry about what month three will look like. 010
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 13/07/2026I made sourdough focaccia and compound butter with garlic scapes from a local farm. 110
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Exciting garden developments this week include a bevy of cukes that should be pickable within the week, a little baby cantaloupe, three artichokes, and an unplanned peanut. Thanks, squirrels! 000
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Yesterday I was despairing of my zucchini ever getting to be full sized (poor soil? poor pollination? something else?), but it turns out I was just too impatient. 000
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I made pasta with peas I grew myself! Recipe: smittenkitchen.com/2025/05/one-... 000
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 29/06/2026I left town for a few weeks and came back to find my garden is OUT OF CONTROL. I did not realize how powerful this compost would be. 😂 010

librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I’m sure the ritzy Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island (where rooms are $1,200/night) loves that AI is telling people it’s a chain hotel. 000
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 08/06/2026My zucchini plant not quite 4 weeks ago and today. 000
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 21/05/2026After all if that, we have a frost advisory with lows in the mid 40s. Doesn’t make sense to me, but better safe than sorry. 000

librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Notes from a c. 1939 speech given by Edward Corsi, an Italian immigrant who held a variety of US government posts related to immigration and labor. The extent to which we are currently repeating the 1930s is an abject failure of our ability to learn from history. 010
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 20/03/2026It’s amazing how quickly I can get through a spinning project if I actually work on it and spin something thicker than frog hair. 180

librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 04/05/2025I did a single card read because I remembered I have tarot cards but I can’t discern what the universe is trying to tell me. 110
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Contrary to conventional wisdom, I chased some waterfalls and it was totally worth it. 0130
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 13/03/2025Texting with my realtor about my desperate quest to secure housing by the end of next month, since I probably can’t afford to buy and rentals are also unaffordable and largely unavailable. 110
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Happy anti-Valentine’s Day from the women’s suffrage movement! May we all be too bold for those who would hold us down. 010
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 14/02/2025This has been a rough month, for America and for me personally, but I went and saw some ice volcanoes and got overwhelmed by nature and if you’re struggling, I really can’t recommend it enough. 010
librarypaste @librarypaste.bsky.social · 15/01/2025If you couldn’t read cursive, how would you enjoy delightful historical letters like this one about doing truly horrifying things to cure your piles? From the papers of abolitionist Gerrit Smith (who did help end slavery but probably not his hemorrhoids). 120
