Me finding photos from last year: oh how twee, the York and Nova American native elderberries just peeked over the 4 ft fence.
Me this year: those effers are 8+ ft tall, still have ripe fruit, and I've already got 11 jars of jelly.
Two days in a row of more than 100 in a row: yes, I would like to have a carport built now (the parking pad is on the South side of the house) and I want it to have solar panels on top because our house would be 100% powered by 400 sq ft of panels except at night...when batteriez.
Tonight's dinner kinda looks like a hot mess, but eggplant parm with eggplants I grew myself plus a sausage for extra protein is a decent dinner. 🌱👩🍳🍽
No...I was not just out here on my patio on front of my grill singing along with the car waiting for the light to change to Chappell Roan's Hot To Go 😇
Okay pocket friends I just spent $250 on an inflatable kayak and a cover so I don't constantly dribble water on myself whilst paddling. Perhaps I will have it by the end of the month!
Okay pocket friends: last summer I did not kayak at all b/c work was a shitshow (6:30 pm mtgs added w/ <10 min warning) and this year I've been wary b/c of my issue 2 yrs ago getting it off my roof (mega knee injury on the bounce). I found a $200 accessibility "fix" and...I should just buy it, yes?
Oh no, the youngs are proposing....This Old House, winner of 20 Emmys with 83 nominations and also useful enough I just checked old vids today for plumbing advice.
Here's my idea for a Green New Deal reality show. It features hot carpenters, a bunch of heat pumps, and every house is somehow on a lake or a river. It's Maine Cabin Masters with a Queer Eye budget and Emmy hungry producers. We'd win a national GND so fast. Mark Ruffalo are you listening??
I don't want to be to cranky but...on one hand, yes dude, at good times I don't want my President in my face all the time but...I do want active communication about foreign policy, such as with the Ukraine and Gaza situations which I have found exceedingly wanting.
In other things I did today: laid on my back with my head in an access panel with a flashlight to try and figure out exactly how awful doing some plumbing alterations myself will be since at least one of the local plumbers refused feeling it was not worth their time.
