A small fern in a shaded spot for #FernFriday.

This moss-covered rock is right outside my kitchen window.

It’s lushing up with the recent rains.

Small fern in the forest pushing up through brown evergreen needles, twigs, and bark.

Not as sharp an image as I’d like, but this was made under low-light conditions: 1/10 sec @ f/4.9.

Any guesses what this is?

Yesterday’s photos:

Dried artichoke seedhead on a compost pile (slightly cropped).

Apple core standing on a woven cloth placemat. This will go either to the rabbits (without seeds) or the pig.

Gardening pix: seedlings in the greenhouse/solarium for overwintering, and I’m pleased to learn that the raspberry canes gifted to us early last year give a double crop!

Thank you, @bsky.app, for punctuation in hashtags!

New camera! Lower resolution, but waterproof and bang-proof, plus it’s point-and-shoot size. This highly increases the chances I’ll use it year-round and take it on the water, kayaking.

For now, the weather’s dry, so here’s some lichen on an old wooden gate.

Moss on an old apple tree, as a very dry Summer turns to Autumn.

I hate my junior high school self who was so afraid of metric.

Let’s see: thank 3 1/2” but less than 3 3/4. Three segments of some measurement over 3 1/2. Not 8ths. Not 1/16ths. So, 32nds. Three 32nds more than 3 1/2”. How many 32nds in a half inch? 16. So 16 + 3 = 3 19/16”.

Right? Maybe.

CW: violence, animal to animal

These last few days have been difficult, and I have no photos I feel comfortable showing you.

A small pack of dogs attacked our little herd of goats and it wasn’t clear until today that the doeling who got mauled would make it through. She will.

Thank you, team!

I was able to save a couple of test posts, but they were dated automatically, so I had to scroll down through alllll my previously created undated drafts to find them. I’d prefer to have the most recent at the top.

(Looks like I’ve been with you about a year, though. That’s cool.)

This may be a more useful screenshot. I entered “…” as the text. See the “Save as Draft” button: grey with a 🚫 icon.

Hi, Dave. Thanks for your reply! I’m using the browser interface. Here are some screenshots. It’s not a prompt; there’s already a date/time filled in. That’s what bugs me. I‘be been leaving things as Drafts until I’m ready to line up my next few posts. Can’t figure out how to with this new system.

Not a farm truck. NOT a farm truck.

I’ve said this to my partner dozens of times so far, if not more, over these few years.

But here it is, permanently dusty, with empty feed sacks in the back. Taking fruit to friends.

Ceremonial picking of our first two ripe Desert King figs this afternoon. And eating. Mmmm!

Yesterday, canoeing. Today, checking the field where we’ll pick up baled hay this weekend, a stop at the feed store, then blueberry picking on a sunny, warm, but not hot, afternoon. I feel like such a slacker.

(Tomorrow, yogurt making.)

Farmer love language.

These appeared on my placemat while I was out taking care of the rabbits.

Moss in dappled sun for #MossMonday.

This is one of the trees that may be dropped today. As I stepped into the shade to thank it for the gifts of its beauty, oxygen, habitat for flora, fauna, and mycelium, and all future uses, the sun snuck in for a moment, highlighting the moss.

Rabbit tractors!
Moveable bunny hutches.

Only took us six weeks to complete.

But perhaps as important: I drilled my first pilot holes and did NOT break the drill bit!!!

Rabbit breeders and botanists, can you please tell me what the yellow and white is on these grasses?

Thank you!

Rabbit update.

It’s taking for-ev-er to get these tractors completed. Mainly because we’re using scrap lumber, which needs to be carefully chose from the hoard and cut to size. No plans, of course. We’re winging it. It’s fun!
