I did not celebrate July 4th. They served hot dogs and hamburgers at work, yeah, but, free food, can't afford to turn down.

Not my best work. I've done several Alice in Wonderland-themed collages which are much better than this. But my brain is not my friend at the moment, and I have filled up the last of my three inserts I was using for collage so I will be using my Agatha Christie notebook and my art notebook going forward. Both are smaller but I think that might be a good thing.

RIP Cole </3

I think most of us didn't see this one coming... :'(

Still hate what they did to his character on Charmed. One of the chief reasons why I've never -- and likely will never -- have the heart to finish the series. :'(

People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.

What should the role of a government be, what boundaries and limitations should it have?

Birdfeeding

Today is mostly sunny and hot.

I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches plus a mourning dove.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I checked the south lot and put topsoil in a few low spots, prior to our fireworks show tonight.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked up a trough pot that fell off the old picnic table, restored the curry plant and purple basil as best I could, then watered them and a few other things in the house yard.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I sowed 6 pots with mulberry seeds. Half are from a particularly pleasing mulberry sapling near the west end of the old fishpond, the other half from a mulberry that was left on the porch step as if a gift.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I watered the telephone pole garden and a few seedlings in the savanna.

My partner Doug mowed the ritual meadow and prairie paths.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked a handful of herbs to make a skillet scramble for supper.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked a handful of blackberries in the prairie garden. There are plenty left; I ran out of heat tolerance long before I ran out of berries. :D

Cicadas are singing.

EDIT 7/4/25 -- I picked a handful of blackberries in the prairie garden. Still more left, but I'll have to hunt those another day, because it is still hot and the sun is about to set.

Maybe it’s just me, today, but I came across the word loach (which I’m positive I’ve heard before; it’s a type of fish after all, and sounds familiar) and the word is so delicious, it makes my mouth water.

Strong contender for next year’s word of the year? I guess we’ll see.

This post is rife with negativity!

Or rather, it's a venting post where I lightly complain about things that have been pissing me off! You don't need to read it, but who knows, you might agree with me on some of it.

1) People who think they have to come to a full and complete stop before making a right turn or turning into a parking lot.

2) People who try the door of a public restroom and, finding it locked, knock on the door. Yes, my brother in christ, there is someone in here. That is how it came to be locked, my guy.

3) When people tailgate me all the way down the road, getting increasingly annoyed at me for not stomping on the gas and gunning the engine. We are going to stop again at the next light. We can see that it is already turning yellow. Jesus Christ.

4) People using public bathrooms like they have literally never used an indoor facility before. Tell me how and why you can walk into a public restroom and there is just pee and shit all over the place, on the floor, on the stall walls, on the toilet seat. Hello??? Who is doing this? Have you ever used a toilet before???

Huh, now that I write it in a list this way, seems like the things pissing me off the most are all either driving or bathroom related, haha.

Happy Thursday.
