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.
Albums queue syncing between my iOS devices is effing amazing. Start a queue of albums on my iPhone, then effortlessly transition play on iPad (and airplay to home speakers). Why Apple hasn’t done this with their Music app confounds me.
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.
Just got this year’s flu shot! 💉
I just tried Fastmail’s and 1Password’s Masked email. It’s pretty great especially since it worked with a custom domain on day one!
Preying Mantis in our California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum). They sure do keep two eyes on you.
Sunflower seeds ready to be eaten by backyard birds. Bet the scrub jays will cache them all.
I was not a fan of this Black Widow that was in my very well sorted irrigation parts bin earlier today. 🌱
