Made some new friends today.
A king penguin that was about three feet from me. It was trying not to fall asleep. An Asian elephant and a BABY Asian elephant.A cool turtle. Giant toads. You can't tell from this photo, but they are bigger than one assumes a toad can be.

Why are people insisting on telling me who this is after I said I don't want to know?

After a long day at the aquarium, the otters help tidy their toys away. Payment is made promptly and entirely in ice cubes.

AI talking to itself without any opportunity for outside reflection is a supercharged version of those times you've convince yourself the barista likes you because she smiled when she handed you your morning latte.

I DESPERATELY need your help with something, even if it’s just sharing this skeet: I’m working on a piec about the evolution of video games and the KEY to my story is a guy named Oscar Munoz who worked for Sega in the early 1990s I’ve tried everything to find him and social media is my last resort

Last night's sky felt very big.
The sky outside my door around dusk last night. The clouds covered the sky in rippling layers and were tinted pink and purple.The same area of sky but from near the barn. It's lighter with bigger clouds and more of a blue/peach coloring.

Photos from yesterday's market. We had a good day. It was nice to be back and see our regular customers after an unexpected week off after my husband broke his foot last Friday. 🌱

Foggy morning walk!

cost of living
A crude drawing of a man with a pompadour in a black jacket and wearing no shirt with a microphone pointed at him, a caption says "with costs of living reportedly skyrocketing, channel 7 asks residents if they're feeling the pinch"

The man says "the cost of living? Yes. To live is to pay a terrible price in grief, in suffering, in pain."
