You inspired an apple tasting. Wish we had as many varieties as you have. Even if they’re bad.

Digging the pomology vibe on bluesky and bought Envy, Ambrosia, Golden Tango and Cosmic Crisp from the Boise Coop for a fam tasting. The winner was Cosmic Crisp. Runner up was Tango which is a great baking apple and made an excellent crisp.

Brought the firefly petunias indoors for the winter. Late sunsets and light pollution didn’t make these a stunner. Don’t know anything about genetically modifying fluorescent mushrooms with flowering plants, but think the concept would work better for shade plants like impatiens or indoor plants.

Usually go to the Boise DMV but they didn’t have appointments when I needed so went to Meridian. Total upgrade. They have Sunflower Bakery next door, a Ukrainian Bakery, and got to try Kiev cake for the first time. Upgrade.

Thrillers/Horror/Mysteries soothe my anxiety. Chuck Tingle is such a talented storyteller with a unique perspective and imagination. Definitely one of my new (for me) favorite authors. Just finished Lucky Day and recommend it. Also, Bury Your Gays and Camp Damascus are worth checking out. #booksky

Advent Gulch Blue corn (from Snake River Seeds Coop) #Idaho. Grew it, harvested it, ground it, made it into cornbread. Did a small row and got about two and a half cups of flour. Definitely makes me appreciate farmers & their breadth of knowledge. Check out alt text for history of the corn variety.
![Snake River Seed Coop, “[Advent Gulch Blue] corn is the life's work of Idahoan Mike O'Brien, who has bred this corn in Advent Gulch (near Cambridge, Idaho) at 3,500' elevation for over 30 years.
He started with a Black Aztec corn from Nichols seeds and selected for several years to improve the variety. When he reached a plateau, he crossed in a multi-color Indian corn and then spent several years picking out everything that wasn't blue, improving the variety for another 10 years before his improvements plateaued again. He then crossed in a Hopi and Cherokee Blue corn and improved the variety for another 15 years. At this point, his corn thrives in cold soils and has adapted to much of southern Idaho. It is a mix of flour, flint, and dent corns and is wonderful for polenta as well as
"corn nuts" (parched corn). He also makes a hell of a good cornbread with it! Mike reminds growers to pull back the husks while the cobs dry down or they will mold.“](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yik7tgk34xm4pghuokbvxscb/bafkreifjtujrjb2wck2qdavtz4ka25btt23onnz56erqqesqn7wjzjyrlu@jpeg)

Tylenol/Acetaminophen isn’t just a pain relieve, it’s an excellent antipyretic (breaks fevers). So are these people suggesting not only exposing preventable diseases, but suffering their side effects? It’s morbid.

After doomscrolling, sometimes I imagine all the weirdos screwing everything up in the world having a collective Ebenezer Scrooge/St Francis of Assisi/Siddhartha Gautama moment that helps usher an era of dharma. #caturday

Black River Orchard by Chuck Wendig is the autumnal horror story you want to read this fall. Haven’t had my tastebuds triggered through story since a Ruth Reichl binge. Though, not always in a good way. 😂 History, horticulture, humanity, humor and horror. Wendig nailed it. #booksky

If you’re in the Asheville (or now Charlotte) area, the LaZoom Tours are very fun and funny. We all need to laugh to keep from crying right now. Wish we had one in Boise. www.lazoomtours.com

About a third of the way through of The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King’s The Stand, it’s such a great collaboration. If you’re a The Stand fan, you’ll love this.
