Riding the storm out...Marvin really wanted to go outside. In the middle of a Nor'Easter, I wouldn't blame him if he didn't go, but he braved it. Now he's wrapped up in a nice warm blanket. #DogsOfMastodon #Pugs #noreaster

The Hibiscus is starting to bloom! It's going to have a ton of blooms this year too! I never cease to be amazed, as I approach my 70th birthday, that I have become fascinated with flowers, gardening, bees, nature in general. I feel that I missed out on a […] [Original post on turtleisland.social]

Sitting outside in the yard, I was able to get some photos of a Robber fly, also known as an assassin fly, with its prey . The Robber fly is a skilled aerial hunter,.

Caught this little bunny eating clover by our garden. Surprisingly, it wasn't spooked. Just looked at me and kept on eating. #rabbit #bunny #naturephotography

OK...this is on CVS's online vaccine scheduling questionnaire. I can't begin to tell you how wrong this is until I stop laughing. #usability #gender #fauxpas

Screenshot from CVS online vaccine scheduling questionnaire which uses the incorrect term 'sex' instead of the correct term 'gender'. And then, this is followed by the question "Why do we ask for sex?"

We have lots of pretty blooms every year, but I have to admit that the white azalea outside the kitchen window is my favorite. #bloomscrolling

So, the bulk of the blizzard seems to be over here in Central Massachusetts . Here's a photo of my backyard. You can see where I dug out a place for the dogs to get out in the yard. We lucked out with only about a foot of new snow on top of the existing […] [Original post on turtleisland.social]

Ruby Falls, Chattanooga, Tennessee. The waterfall is located 1120 ft. underground beneath Lookout Mountain. The falls are 65 ft high. The illumination of the waterfall in purple and blue has an eerie vibe. #RubyFalls #waterfalls #undergroundcavern

Just finished shoveling for the dogs. We'll have more snow than predicted. I'm guessing 5-6" of snow when it's all said and done. Then we'll be facing -30°F wind chills tonight. #snowysaturday #massachusetts

The storm is going for another few hours. We have had about 22 inches of snow here thus far. You can get an idea of the depth from the pile of snow atop our birdbath. #snowstorm2026 #massachusetts #newengland

And the storm total predictions keep going up for Massachusetts. Up to as much as 25". I've shoveled off the deck twice now so the dogs have a place to go. It hardly looks like it's snowing ..very fine and powdery. #snowstorm2026 #massachusetts #newengland

Dusk in the backyard. The sky has an interesting color, perhaps related to the cold front and massive storm heading this way. Tomorrow night will be sub- zero with wind chill to -20°F. #skyview #dusk #newengland

Looking forward to 12-14" of snow Sunday night- Monday afternoon. I really am! That probably sounds nutty to some of you, but with climate change, the winters in NE have shown a lot less snow in the last few years. That affects the water table. We have […] [Original post on turtleisland.social]
