Another First!

The arc of the moral universe is long, but truly it bends toward justice...
a screenshot of a text-based social media post from Colby College paraphrased as follows: With a 1 million dollar gift the Women's Lacrosse Fund will create and support an endowed coaching position for women's lacrosse... It will be named in perpetuity and celebrated as the first endowed varsity women's assistant coaching position at Colby.

carnage
a fall garden clean up photo from the same spot as the pic in the post above, but from near ground level, in which burst and rotting currant and cherry tomatoes litter the exposed earth. time to sow an over-wintering cover crop such as small-seeded fava beans or white clover. a few straggler pink zinnias appear near the rear of the bed, along with the tomato plants that are staying a few more weeks into october.

coffee walk
a near-ground level, end-on closeup of dark brown, fallen tree, years in its place, sodden with last night's rain and covered in white and grey shelf mushrooms receding into the unfocused background, with sprays of verdant green grass taller than the log growing out from under it

i just keep getting more definitely real human person followers, isn't it great?!
a picture of a bluesky direct message exchange with an obvious bot account who said: "Yes I'm following you. Jim, I copied the wrong name, which led to this misunderstanding. I'm very sorry. I hope this won't affect our communication. I'm an Asian woman living in San Franciso, CA. Which beautiful city in the USA are you from?"

alt text for the edited image
a very tight close up of a middle-aged cat with a prominent scar on the right nostril, her left, edited from the original black and white image such that a deep midnight blue replaces the black of her eyes, while a riot of blues to aquas and yellow greens replace the original greys of the cat's nose, chin, and cheeks, and an electric blazing sunset red replaces the white of her face and whiskers

frens
a verdant green, long zoom photo of seven deer, two adults, three juveniles, and two fawns, nibbling through a long grass meadow. one fawn is nuzzling the leg of one of the juveniles, as if, it seems to me, to say "i am done eating let's play"

it has been so steadily wet this year
a close up of a four inch tall mushroom against a bright green natural meadow. the mushroom has a straight white stem protruding from a mossy clay, and a purplish brown, domed cap, fading to tan at its rippled, down turned edge

tomatoes finally transplanted, trellised and (sort of) fenced, several weeks later than ideal, but the mid-july through october cherry & yellow pear toms should still be plentiful
a dozen bright green indeterminate tomato vines, recently transplanted into an informal mounded garden bed mulched with straw, in a checkered row between two old laundry line posts, and supported by a wire and orange twine triangular trellis system for two leaders per plant.

the compost pile is largely finished when it starts acting like a raised bed #compost
a lumpy, brown, twiggy, over-wintered compost pile, sodden with spring rain, sprouting bright green squash and melon seeds in their dozens.

this cranberry curd tart may be my last contact with the nytimes (and it appears they tweaked it enough to be legally distinguishable from others by adding a pain in the ass hazelnut crust) but next time i will make the one with the better crust and cinnamon whipped cream
a vibrant red cranberry curd tart in a light brown hazelnut tart shell, sitting on a plate with the empty tart mold and a few kitchen items in the background.
