Crossing guard report: I have been gifted a tiny cake! Not all of them were handed out to teachers, apparently, so I feast on leftovers. I am usually willing to cheat on veganism in such circumstances.

A small frosted vanilla bundt cake (in a hard plastic package) inside the pocket of a neon yellow high-vis vest. Some sidewalk and part of a handheld stop sign are visible in the background.

Fly free, my friend.

Was starting to get really worried about my bergamot tree — its mature leaves went from healthy to not-so-hot over the winter and for a while at the start of spring all its new growth was getting munched by something! Luckily it’s still in a pot, so I moved it and it’s bouncing back! #gardensky

Two thin green branches of a very young citrus tree. It has no large leaves, but is sprouting clusters of young leaves from several nodes. In the background is a blurry pigmy date palm and the exterior wall of a house. A white plant support can be seen at the bottom of the frame.

One day, I will provide to the street loquat economy with fruit overhanging the sidewalk that makes people go “yeah, that seems like fair game” and the karma cycle will be complete. #gardening

A very, very young loquat tree with six deep green leaves around the edges and three young light green leaves coming up in the center. A top-down shot that also includes some of the dirt around the plant and a few other plants in the background.

If I had a nickel for every Rankin/Bass stop-motion Easter special with a character who has a great name with a middle initial and who effortlessly and obviously steals the show, I’d have two nickels

January Q. Irontail, a goth stop-motion Easter bunny wearing a black suit and holding up a chocolate tarantula and a chocolate octopus in front of a pink wall with a window in it.

Hallelujah H. Jones, a stop-motion animation puppet wearing a scruffy mid-matched suit and a worn top hat with a large, bright yellow flower. His hair is shaggy and he is overall clearly some kind of rail-riding hobo. Gems smiling and has buck teeth. There’s a forest in the background, with a tree and plants out of focus.

First four pounds: this batch is getting some chai spice mixed in

A pot of boiling chai loquat jam in progress on an induction stovetop. The jam is being stirred with a spoon with a wooden handle and an orange silicone head.

Success, baby! 12 pounds of delicious loquats!

Might have been him for Halloween last year 👀 (just wore the mask for this photo not for the night)

A person dressed as reanimator Herbert West (lab coat, button-up shirt, tie) wearing a blue mask with black dripping down from the eyes, holding a glowing green syringe. In the background is a tunnel of hand-painted neon eyeballs of all shapes, sizes, and colors glowing under a blacklight.

The perfect tool for the job!

The bottom of a shoe with deep treads, being picked at with the bit of wire. In the background, a handheld stop sign in leaning against the base of a streetlight.

Crossing guard report: this bit of wire has been here for well over a month now. The first time I saw it, I kicked it over to the base of a streetlight and it’s been there ever since, now worse for the wear from rain. Detritus from trees seems to get swept away periodically, but not this guy

Did the thing, got the shirt, would recommend! 🩸

A photo of a person wearing a shirt with an alien and the slogan “Save the humans - donate blood” on it. Their head is cropped out of the shot. Their left arm has a green band wrapped around the donation site. There’s a passion fruit vine in the background.

I can’t get enough of loquat season! Gotta make enough jam to share AND to save so we can all get through the upcoming loquat-less months together

Pot of peeled & chopped loquats en route to becoming jam — a silicone-tipped spoon is stirring then around. The stainless steel pot sits on an induction stove.
