Great job you two! Good luck with the scoring!

It's my wife's first full day back at work after maternity leave - we had planned for her to WFH until Thursday but our backup battery installation for our solar array got moved up to today. They have to periodically cut our electricity to get everything wired up, so no WFH until they're done tomorrow or Wednesday. So today is also my first full day as the stay-at-home dad, which has been pretty good. Lots of picture taking to share so she doesn't feel like she's missing too much being at work.

We took a trip over to our local library this morning and signed up for the "1000 books before kindergarten" challenge and showed off our outfit for dinovember to the librarians (pictured below). I was at the library board meeting last week to weigh in on who should be our new permanent library director, and there were a bunch of us there to support the acting director's bid. There might be a board position opening up in the near future and I've been encouraged by some folks to apply/run for the position.

We also finally found a food our old cat is willing and able to eat reliably, after much trial and error, which has taken a weight off our hearts.

I truly apologize for not reading your username correctly before making a snarky comment, and deeply regret and am sorry for any negative feelings I may have caused.

It is my hope beyond hope that you are able to have your body match who you are inside, you beautiful beautiful wonderful person, you.

Thank you, friend. Text can't convey how much it means 💕

I've heard it's not the size of the pickle but how flavorful the brine is.

Or something, I'm not crazy about pickles or cucumbers

Tbf, drain cleaning Australia's synth wave music is pretty rockin but yeah the rest sucks

While you're at it, I could use a hug

This is an incredibly good point - blueberries often have a hard time rooting without a number of fundamental factors in place. Soil type, how a particular site drains or holds water, whether a host of other organisms are able to support the sometimes tenuous grasp they have to the space; even how acidic or basic a particular plot is will heavily influence how well they can do, let alone whether they'll thrive there. Finding anywhere else that's suitable is a monumental task, and daunting.

It's my belief that everyone who can be a steward should be looking to blunt as much of the disturbance as they can for the blueberries that aren't able to be uprooted, like a thick protective mulch to prevent the damage that can drive too deeply into the soil, while also keeping those new spaces they find in mind for the ones that can be safely relocated. Preferably in a way that inoculates the soil to provide a resurgence of them, and makes the whole area more conducive to the beauty and nourishment that they provide. It's that mindset of interconnectedness, with blueberries, that allows for a path for understanding how best to approach the task at hand. It would be impossible to do without respecting the needs of the blueberries in question.

I was about to feel attacked but then I remembered i collected seeds from "probably asters" yesterday

Awesome shots! What an adorable subject

Thank you! And may I add

Thank you for crossposting this here! I sent the original thread to a few friends who have dabbled in hydro setups this morning. Keep up the great work!

Something I like to do is to take their call scripts and mail them as signed letters. Phone calls can be useful, sure (when they're answered or the answering machine isn't full or disabled), but my understanding is that written letters are taken more seriously in those offices. The order of significance, as it was explained to me, goes email -> phone call -> letter.

Jones said he would move to a new studio, websites and social media accounts that were already set up.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs were too busy high-fiving over another set of seizable assets to respond prior to publication

They're the best, hands down!

Hah I wish! It's be cuteness overload

I'm not going to lie, I'm jealous of the home automation control and your average inside temps! I've got a small grow closet and have the shutoff thermostat in the lowest level of shelving, but am not allowed to have it below 68F because of the newborn and a wife who is always cold 😂
