Me and my brother, @stevendbrewer, together in the pollinator garden at UMass, Amherst.

Sitting on Steven’s patio with him and my mom.
Look at the stickers on my laptop! Steven gave me a new Puzzy Cure sticker, created to promote his collection Better Angels: Tour de Force.

A downed branch in Winfield Village. #lichensubscribe

Jackie found a sticker with the logo for Buff yesterday, even though we haven’t bought any lately. I told her I could put it in the envelope of stickers I’m saving for my next laptop. This morning she left another sticker for me. And just now another sticker.
They’re coming thick and fast.

Have you ever seen a more lovely loaf of bread? 🍞

From the first day we met her at the animal shelter, Ashley has liked to sit on benches with both Jackie and me. Still does. #dogsofmastodon 🐕
Likes to sit (and stand) on benches. Doesn’t much like to have her picture taken.

Lilies are past their peak. Today #lilycount 1, although not the last one. #bloomscrolling

Prompted by a poll on “Are you reading a book (paper, electronic, or audio)?” I realized that I’m reading one of each kind just now. On paper I’m reading non-fiction The Art & Practice of 16th Century German Fencing. On the kindle I’m reading a novel Dance for the Dead. On audible I’m reading Consider Phlebas.

I like the time of morning when the tops of the trees are lit by the sun, but the bottoms of the trees are still in shadow.

The sort of thing Jackie might say on any ordinary day (such as today):
“Consider using a shallot as your allium in today’s lunch.”

(To be fair, just yesterday I told her I wasn’t using the shallots, assuming that she’d gotten them with some particular dish in mind.)
