Idk about anyone else, but I am excited that, in a few days, when it is 50 degrees warmer (excuse me, Missouri?), all the moss and lichen outside will be nice and plump and ready to be admired.

It's a bit blurry, but here's a pretty female cardinal in my yard yesterday. She was singing loudly to her mate nearby.

I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

Yesterday me was so kind to today me for tarping my old ass truck. It made removing 7 inches of overnight snow a piece of cake, and my wipers arent frozen up this time. I won't have to wake up at 5am tomorrow morning brandishing a heat gun just to get to work.

It's snowing in Missouri in February.

I don't like it.

No idea what kind of shroomy this is. I might say a kind of polypore, but this is the top of the mushroom. I think? #FungiFriends #mushroom #Fungi

In, ostensibly, the dead of winter, the local forecast for February 3rd is 71°F (22C).

Pleasant. Clear. Slightly alarming. But I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going in a hike later.

How do I get less politics and more mushrooms in my feed in this app? I get it, the President is a fascist, etc.

But I really just want to see a nice ring of Amanita to escape into. I got here about 40 years ago by accident, and I'm ready to return to the fae where I belong.

Do yourself a favour and open up this photo.

Indulge in the absurd beauty of comets.

This is Comet C/2021 A1 Leonard, photographed by Michael Jäger in 2021. The tail, millions of km long, shows a region of greater density from when part of the comet nucleus disintegrated about 10 days before.

Prickly pear tunas(fruits) from this past summer. They taste weirdly like watermelon! #cactus #pricklypear

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Smashed records.

For once, I'd like a straight forward task. I'm always missing some kind of tool.

This app is going to curse me with the obsession for taking photos of every mushroom I can find.

Please don’t even talk to me in the morning until I’ve had my coffee, 27 hours of alone time, several months by the seaside to ease my agonies, and many decades to wander the earth until the fabled blade of my ancestors can finally be reforged

Enjoy this snail trail, made by its radula as it fed, on my truck roof #snail #snailtrail

The Arctic needs to get back up north where it belongs with this negative digit temperature dookey.
