I’m getting cocky. I need to check that for these next two trees.

A picture of a faded wooden cabin, an Rv with brown and tan horizontal strips, a small plastic greenhouse, and a visible power line all in striking distance of a very tall dead pine tree. A healthy green topped pine tree stands next to the dead one to the side along with other trees around the other areas of the cabin and the Rv. The sky is a deep blue and a puffy white cloud accentuates the dead pine tree.

this is just tonight’s haul. About same this morning. Out of two plants!! One is a tiny zucchini to be fair…sending them virtually to you!

wtf did I just watch?? It looked liked it had Amy Poehler in It, and it was called The power of the dog, so I thought it was about dogs, or at least a dog. Y’all, this was Kirsten Dunst.

so the problem with pickling cucumbers you grow yourself is that you are basically pickling every few days all summer long. Today’s batch:

An assortment of jars of pickles sitting on a black towel on a countertop.
The jars are filled with Amber fluid and a variety of pickle shapes (whole, chips, spears). Crushed red pepper flakes and garlic cloves are visible in each jar.

Today we had magnificent dark clouds and no rain came of it. It was breathtaking. It was less cultivating joy and more like letting ourselves feel awe, but similar!

A dark bank of clouds are ominous just over a tree line eliminated by a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds. Storms threatened but never materialized.

A caterpillar attacked my pepper plant and there was only one leaf left and two spindly stems. I dug it up at 12pm yesterday and put it in a grow bag and tucked it under a huge zucchini leaf. By the end of the evening, there were two new leaves coming out on top. By 8am today it looked like this:

The previously described pepper plant, which now has three full leaves, and many, many leaves starting to sprout from each stem coming out of the mulch covered soil. The zucchini leaf, which previously was over the pepper plant is now even with the pepper plant, showing how much it has grown in less than 24 hours. If you are struggling, maybe you need a change of location to flourish?

This blue highlighter loves to smudge everything. 36 mins between writing the black ink and the blue highlighter. The other suggestions were also very good but this is the clear winner.

co-pilot: Thwarted by an underscore

A screencap of a copilot chat conversation (I had asked it for the right syntax for reg_exp.), which says
"Copilot
SQL Server does not have native REG_EXP support like Oracle/MySQL, so you can't use a true regex function directly in a WHERE clause.

However you can achieve the same result using a like pattern with a character range."

This is false. REGEXP (no underscore) has been available in MSSQL for many versions.
