Well, you taught me something today. I bought this a couple of years ago with no context just because I wanted something to put up for Dia de Los Muertos, a popular holiday here in New Mexico. Now I know infinitely more about it than I did before.

Officially putting more power into then grid than consuming. I have been wanting to do this for a very long time.

Mexican chile crisp, and I already want to do it all over again, but better.

A black, red, and yellow mix of small bits in a pot. It is a mix of different chiles, garlic, shallots, pepitas, and sesame seeds, all brought together with heat and oil to make a Mexican chile crisp.

Aww. I have a Charlie Brown tomato plant.

I’ve somewhat readjusted to seeing lizards on the daily, but there are just SO MANY, and today I saw two little black lizards 🦎 I don’t remember seeing at all when I lived here before. Then there’s the angry avocado, Avi, who has been an unexpected pleasure. I’m reintegrating.

One kitty really, really likes to have her fur roughed. She’s the sweetest, quietest, least in-your-face of the three, but she’ll take a good, hard scratch well beyond the point the other two will get pissy.

Drove up to the crest today and it was brilliant.

A panorama from south to west to north of the city of Albuquerque from Sandia Crest. Rocks and a trail in the foreground, a slope down to the Rio Grande valley, and a beautiful blue sky with large puffy clouds.

I must have missed something in history class.

The headline of the story reads, “Stalin Is Towering Over Moscow Commuters Again After 60 Years”, but the picture is of Diddy with his hand to his ear like he’s listening to someone say something that isn’t easily audible.

Nothing like a local wildfire to make for an exciting evening! Got to put the drone to use, tho, and the radios.

Street lights and house lights shine in the darkness in a photo taken from a drone about 300 ft above ground level. In the distance, about a mile away, an orange glow is visible, and the haze of smoke can be seen moving away from it.

Cardboard and waste wood is down. Next for this bed: garden soil! Hopefully will get that done tomorrow.

Broken down cardboard from deliveries placed on top of an 8’x4’ section of dug-up backyard lawn.

I reused some potting soil for my first round of basil this year. In addition to learning the soil was nitrogen deficient, there are also a couple of stowaways.

A cluster of basil seedlings, but hidden amongst them are two mint seedlings.

Proud of myself this weekend, I actually finished a project. Well…mostly. It needs more plants and some stepping stones, so not really finished, but the hard work is done.

An 8’x10’ garden bed where mushroom compost has been spread. There are plant pots that contain chives and hops.

Put together the compost bin and two raised beds. Let’s gooooooo! #makeShitMonday

On the ground in front, one 8’x4’ and one 8’x2’ corrugated metal raised garden bed, ready to be filled with garden soil. Behind those, a single solar panel and behind that a tall, green plastic compost bin with a black lid. In the far background is a pile of garden soil ready for filling the raised beds.

I really wanted to make a joke about being mid but sounds like it’s more north than I would consider it as a Yank.

USPS Informed Delivery told me I was getting an envelope from Rainbow Inc (@emmie.bsky.social) and I’m not gonna pretend I knew what it was until I opened it, so…surprise rainbows and unicorns! Thank you! I’ll return the favor shortly!

This is your future desert oasis. I’m seriously pumped to have worked on this today, usually I’m a lazy fuck.

Forgot to post this Saturday evening.

An incredible array of colors at sunset: gold, yellow, orange, pink, violet, and blue. Elm trees are silhouetted against the gorgeous backdrop, and a sliver of a crescent moon can be seen in the sky next to Venus.

I would absolutely pay top dollar to watch these whales capsize the nonce who is following them around in his motor boat.

In the distance, a humpback whale breaks the surface and spouts. Behind it are a couple of boats and in the foreground a woman stands on the beach taking pictures.

Any folks out there into identifying ships? This one currently in Maalaea Bay at Maui. No visible name. The black hull is so shiny that the waves reflect off of it in great detail. The deck lights are lit up every night, Xmas cruise style but it hasn’t gone anywhere. #shipID

Never thought I’d be anywhere like this for Christmas.

Sunset. The top third of the sun still sits above the horizon of the Pacific Ocean. A dark slope upward to the right is the island of Maui. Clouds and a handful of boats are silhouetted against the orange glow of the sunset and the sky’s hue changes from light to darker blue above. Waves wash over the sand and pull back into the ocean.
