Got a sampler of Revolution Brewing IPAs. @jackieLbrewer and I are each having pasties and an Anti-Hero.

I walked to lunch today, and paused along the way to take pictures of some of the lichens I saw.
There were only a few species represented (I assume, based purely on superficial appearance, which my brother tells me is not actually a good way to identify lichens).



I also saw this handsome moss along the way:

Someone on Twitter was just mentioning that the fact of their easy visibility in winter is one of the best things about lichens.
I took some pretty good pictures of Jackie in 2019. Here’s a selection:











There are plenty of others. Visit my images site for a bunch more pictures of Jackie and other things I thought were worth taking a look at.

Walking outside yesterday I realized I was not SAD, even though the solstice was just three days away. In fact, I was very nearly gleeful. And the feeling has persisted. It’s like it’s late February and spring is coming!
“I’m finally warm!” I say, checking the clock to see that the indoor temperature has… exceeded 74°F. “Oh.”
