On my Mac Mini I have NetNewsWire pulling Tweets by specific users. Meanwhile, I’ve set my eero to block Twitter on my mobile devices. With NetNewsWire’s iCloud sync, NetNewsWire on mobile devices gets those tweets for me to read. Terrific way to reduce my Twitter use.

Earlier in June: on a trail to Oybin, Saxony, Germany. Saxony has the best sandstone.

Earlier this month: When in Munich, you must ride the catfish?

Before our trip to Germany, I pruned the first big leaves off a sunflower because they were shading out a pepper. Now the sunflower has a flower near each prune cut. Great for attracting bees to our peppers!

6/12: in a forest southwest of Bautzen, Saxony, Germany.

Gray Hairstreak butterfly on one of our pepper plants.

6/14: Minerals under ultraviolet light at the Freiberg Mineral Exhibition.

6/14: Freiberg Mineral Exhibition at Freudenstein Castle. An exquisite collection.

I emergency bought a Ratio 6 coffee maker after my old Ninja broke. Best of all, and I didn’t know about this, @RatioCoffee just refunded the cost ‘cuz I won their drawing 🎉 can’t remember the last time I won anything this good!

June 6 in Munich.
