The Japanese Garden at @mobotgarden.bsky.social is looking absolutely magical today in the snow

It’s November 18 and I just picked a few last ripe yellow raspberries from my backyard berry patch 🌱

I got this text today about it. Such scammy bullshit.

Maple is in her cute lil onesie recovering from spay surgery

Nearly two weeks after the big snow and my street is finally getting plowed… with a bulldozer. I don’t think they actually made anything easier to navigate. #stlwx

The Last Word is now in the running for my favorite cocktail

Maple is “hiding” #cats #catsofbluesky

There is a perfectly nice cat fountain full of clean water about 5 steps away, but it is apparently not as nice as the forbidden human water glass

With all the ice and snow this week I forgot to post this earlier but… the 2025 gardening season has officially begun! This year I am trying to cold-stratify seeds for the first time 🌱

Working from home today surrounded by sleeping cats and holiday lights with a gentle snowfall outside. I just want to take a moment to appreciate how cozy and aesthetic this is.

Oh hi, I’m back after not posting anything for like a year. Here is a picture of my new kitten Maple.

My department is on a retreat for the day at Shaw Nature Reserve so I get to look at nice scenery
