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.)
Wow! Today’s #lilycount is 63! I think that’s the highest lilycount we’ve ever reached. Bonus: You can see Spleenwort, our front-step gargoyle, way over on the left. #bloomscrolling

Yesterday’s lilycount 23 (with bonus dog):

Today’s lilycount 42:

Jackie and I are each drinking a Rhinegeist Terror Bird imperial IPA, to go along with BBQ for our main meal of the day. Yummy.

Today’s lilicount 17.

Jackie got some pineapple juice for some cocktail or another, so I seized the opportunity to make us each a Zenaida Dove. (Hers has a bonus Luxardo cherry.)
