Feeding Ghosts is really good.

I saw the guest and hit delete! I never care to hear from or about him again. He’s done enough.

I have concerns about pedestrian safety and think they should all have raised crosswalks and flashing lights. But I’m not concerned about the land use. Most of them end up having plants or artwork in the middle which makes is a good land use in my opinion. Nice to have the greenery or the public art

Interesting. I didn’t realize soil moisture affected temperature. I love all of your explanations! Even though I live in Indy, I learn a lot that’s relevant.

When my son was on crutches, I picked him up for the first week and I had to wait 30 minutes in line. It was hell. After that he managed the bus steps with crutches. I don’t understand parents who do this every day unless their child is being badly bullied or something.

Your comment was the most accurate and pithy assessment of the moment I read.

Every time they say this garbage someone needs to follow up:

So what you’re saying is American men are the worst in the world? Or is it maybe that our gun laws that are the worst in the world?

I believe it was Tressie Cottom McMillan and Sam Sanders who discussed what’s played on country radio stations vs the diversity in country/Americana music. So people who don’t like what’s played on country radio may like other parts of the genre. It’s a very narrow set of artists on country radio.

Also leeches were considered medical care.

I do occasionally get little seedlings, but I wouldn’t consider it invasive. And it’s probably because I clip off the finished flowers and throw them on bare ground in my flower bed as a diy mulch. Of course I don’t know if the birds spread it? Haven’t seen them eating the seeds though.

Enjoy!

I made that Tuscan Coffee Cake recipe you posted last month, and my family loved it. Truly phenomenal.

I grew up in 3 different evangelical churches and went to an evangelical college. I think the through-line is control. Control of kids, women, other people’s choices etc. It’s something I have to actively resist now that I’m a parent.

Ahhh! Yes!

They better hope we are right given what Jesus says about what how he feels about how we treat “the least of these.”

Thank you. Called the Hamilton county office and left a message early this morning. Called this number and spoke to her staff!

Mine are the same. I think they prefer cooler weather. I never fertilize them due to blooms. But the ones I have in my hanging basket are in potting soil and have hardly any blooms. So anecdotally anyway, I’d say the rich soil issue holds true.

What a devastating dereliction of duty by both the police and the church. Praying for you.
June 29, 2025 at 3:05 PM
Same. I’d be too nervous to enjoy it. Freezer jam is amazing anyway.

Today I worked in my progressive church’s food bank garden. Feels like I’m offsetting some of the social safety net cuts that my fellow Christians voted for. Also good to be around people who actually follow what Jesus said about feeding the hungry etc.

Same but chickens

I was really touched by the story of the Coventry Cathedral, and as an American, I enjoyed the Washington National Cathedral too. I have enjoyed all of them. Also still thinking about that beautiful church that shut its doors. Can’t remember the name at the moment. Glad the hymnal got to the family

Yikes!
