These cornhole boards were made by my husband and painted by me. And then it took me ages to figure out how to lacquer them and actually do it, but today the legs were fitted back on so now they’re Done! And we will have the best most colorful games of cornhole in existence.

The Moon, Jupiter and Venus all in a line this morning. I overexposed the crap out of the moon (grabbed this shot mid-workout so didn’t have a ton of time to play) but the terminator looks cool today. Look at all those craters!

Jupiter and Venus (brighter one) were looking fantastic this morning. They were so close together - less than a Moon diameter, they both fit in the view of my #Hestia. You can see the moons of Jupiter as that diagonal line of dots running through it. #planets #astrophotography

Found this #sundial outside a church in town at the weekend, and was delighted to see it had been set up correctly and was showing the right time. So many garden sundials are not so lucky.

Happy Sturgeon Moon! Remember to reset your lunar clocks today. Here’s a couple of photos; the Full Moon just before it set this morning, and if you look to the east you can see Venus and Jupiter close together and bright.

REALITY CHECK:
Texas Democrats earn 45% of the vote—but under the GOP’s new gerrymandered map, they’d get just 21% of the seats.
That’s not representation. That’s rigging the system.

It always somehow surprises me when our Crape Myrtle blooms. (And it always annoys me that’s it’s apparently not spelled “crèpe”)

Had a fantastic breakfast this morning of fried eggs and sourdough toast. Both the eggs and bread were from neighbors. Yay for local food!

OK, so we all know the oligarchs are vacuuming up the money as fast as they can. But does anyone know what they plan to _do_ with it? I mean, what's the _point_ in having all those billions? Diamond-encrusted coffee? I don't get it.
