I convinced by 88-year-old conservative neighbor to vote yes on Props 2 through 5. His mind was opened last year when I got him to read @mnolangray.bsky.social ‘s book which he “didn’t agree with, but found interesting”. I’ll take it.

I found a feather that I suspect is from a Great Horned Owl, a pellet full of bones, and whitewash all over the ground in my go-to owl spot. Did I find the owl? Absolutely not. 🪶

I think this cicada killer is trying to drag this cicada into the drain in our driveway instead of digging its own burrow. Probably not a smart move considering they’re too big to fit through the holes in the drain cover.
