Perma-loc splice is an okay fix for drip tape punctured by fighting cats. Please keep your cats indoors. Cats are destructive of not only wildlife but also your neighbor’s stuff.
Of all the animals we see in our backyard, the western toad is our favorite. It was very loud tonight in the leaves. Just look at that foot!!
Hygge in the neighborhood. Hygge is part of today’s micro.blog challenge.
M6.9 earthquake in Alaska registered on my RaspberryShake.
There’s now a Thai restaurant where I live! Pretty decent for a small town.
Last night’s constellation of the moon, Venus, and street light at one of the bridges over I-5.
I wouldn’t feel safe flying in that biplane! Almost as bad as a helicopter.
Celebrated mom’s birthday today with chicken fried steak (one of her favorites)! A great day.
A Feijoa sellowiana of ours got very stressed this summer because of a clogged irrigation emitter. It is now flowering out of season. A nice surprise.
At just about Civil Twilight tonight.
Here’s our resident Western Toad that’s likely en route to the compost pile. And yes, that’s toad scat in front of the toad. The toad has a circuit to complete every night.
Spice in the form of home grown assorted peppers. Turned these fine frozen specimens into hot sauce last weekend.
Our street is nicely obscured from the front yard by cultivated native California plants. They rarely get watered but has been more frequent the past two summers. California buckwheat is showy now with its rust colors and white flowers.
I don’t consider this Fujifilm X100V a toy but it sure brings me a lot of joy. Most photos I’ve posted lately are from it. Except this one, of course.
Sharp looking (spotted bird?) grasshopper! It was resting in our California buckwheat.
A little bit of excitement at an over crossing today.
Our first backyard Spotted Towhee!
A majority onion tarte tartin. This tarte literally has the flavors of French Onion soup but this is so much better.
September 22, 2021: full moon after dark.
Our replacement rear fence got finishing touches today. Very excited to no longer have a very old fence threatening total collapse because its wood posts weren’t set in concrete, had split boards, and rails severely sagged. Photos are after and before. Contractor did great.
