Thanks! I have a slightly different style/brand but love mine. Just doesn't look quite as sturdy as yours. Our garden is only 36 by 48 and fully engulfed in pumpkin so not much weeding needed.

Yes yes, air bad, temps bad, garden good and all that but tell me more about that stirrup hoe. Where did you get it? Do you have others? How do like it? How do you sharpen it? Inquiring gardeners want to know.

My wife turns 50 today. In honor of Easter and her love of hedgehogs, we hid 50 of these in the house. She has 5 left to find. It's been an hour. Make that 4 left.

It's not a genre for everyone. But there are some quality pieces in there. Carl is at the top for me. He Who Fights With Monsters is probably 2nd and maybe Bobiverse or Scalzi in 3rd. The chicken one and the mom one didn't quite do it for me. But Carl, Carl is....well....Carl.

Mongo is appalled you're just now learning about Carl! It's pretty much a cult for my son & I. 1st series he's read & enjoyed. He's reread it 3 times & made 2 spreadsheets. He swears one proves @mattdinniman.bsky.social has the wrong songs in his playlist. Now keep reading crawler! Glurp! Glurp!

So, MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE was made by Amazon but it goes over to Netflix right when Amazon starts advertising for MELANIA. Am I the only one that sees a link or am I just paranoid?

Life update if you care. I got gussied up for an interview (even trimmed my nose hair). Didn't get the job. 4 years of trying, and failing, to be a teacher has left me a bit empty inside. But also a bit happy. Because I got promoted to today. I'm now allowed to drive the tractor!

Saw Baba Yaga's house yesterday. Creepy and cool use of cardboard by University of Lynchburg students.
A cardboard creation that represents Baba Yaga's house. It looks like a brown wooden house with a crooked chimney supported on two bird legs.

At the end of the day, it all sounds like a #humblebrag but I'm proud of being able to help where and when I could. And the hug from my 4th grade teacher made it all worth while. So get out there and check on your neighbors. Not everyone has the luxury of having kids that live nearby. 2/2

9 mailboxes cleared. 3 driveways cleared. 2 falls on the ice. 1 sore back (even though I used a tractor, not a shovel). 0 broken garage doors (thankfully I was able to fix it). As payment, I got 2 hugs, 1 thank you, and the promise to deliver a homemade cheesecake at some point int he future. 1/2

Yep. This is the county I live in. They ban books, hate LGBTQIA+ students, and encourage prayer before and during meetings. Our kids are out of the system now but there are so many other that are not safe here. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...
