Last Notes npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge For the love of the gods, is this all we will ever fund from here on, the police and ICE and others that will not actually HELP anyone who needs assistance. I despair, I truly do. npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge That's lovely. So cooling! Has the humidity improved any? npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge #SilentSunday https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/984/438/528/463/390/original/0fc244e7fff47447.jpeg npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge After I mowed the small amount of grass left in the backyard this week, part of the area had moved into the sunshine. There were several of these swarms of small insects (not mosquitoes, not what I call gnats, as they didn't bite, and ignored me completely.) They like the sun. I thought this looked like a portal to a different reality, and thought about checking it out... #Bugs #insects #Wednesday https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/964/274/870/327/157/original/7fbb07d6767ba740.mp4 npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge #Smoke this morning continues to improve (still not great) in the mid-Atlantic region of the US, but get worse in the WA/OR/Northern CA regions, and sections of BC and Alberta in Canada. Wishing everyone sufficient rain to help with this situation. https://map.purpleair.com/air-quality-standards-us-epa-aqi?opt=%2F1%2Flp%2Fa10%2Fp604800%2FcC0#3.6/46.02/-101.89 https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/957/487/856/938/941/original/28b7faf1c1c66a6c.png npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge #SilentSunday https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/946/903/628/136/298/original/afe683619b6b2f59.jpeg npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge There is no way that in 2026 we should be having TB anywhere in this country, and certainly not amongst a population that is completely at the mercy of a corporation which is using them for profit. Hoping aggressive investigation of this will continue both in Colorado and everywhere else these concentration camps are being built. npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge Evergreen. 🍕 npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge #Saturday #daylily du jour occurs in the rain (!) with 2 reruns of previous flowers. Happy to see them, and no deer.

I had never before noticed this plant. It was a good 3-4m tall, and as wide. What a show-stopper. Had to look it up, it's a Chaste Tree, and tends to be sub-tropical, but apparently enjoying Western North Carolina. #BloomScrolling And now I'll stop posting flowers. https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/878/721/278/096/384/original/b18de9284bdeb7c9.jpeg npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge Stalking the wild Calibrachoa... #BloomScrolling https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/878/706/816/575/384/original/42f418097b0a7b72.jpeg npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge Neat, Ken, excellent decision! And the painting looks great, too. Been wondering how you are doing after all the tree/wind issues you had? Hoping all is progressing okay. npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge Thinking the same. npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge #SilentSunday https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/867/748/236/708/769/original/c15c5faaaf58bfea.jpeg npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge Sigh... me too. Yesterday a neighbor spotted a doe in my yard so I rushed out to shoo her away. Clearly only a temporary interruption. I'm waiting for them to find the new garden in the backyard, then you'll hear my bellow all the way in Colorado! npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge Today's #Saturday #daylily du jour was saved by a bloom in the auxiliary bed, which I've posted before. The best one is the brand new special one which was a gift from the grower, which I have not seen yet, and was ready to open today or tomorrow...

And they look so nice with hosta, plus it gives the deer a choice to snakc on. npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge Good #Thursday morning from the #daylily du jour in Asheville, NC, where this morning we have 4 reruns from previous in the week. There are still some new buds on other plants, so fingers crossed for new colors at some point.

Still a couple of other varieties with buds, so if the deer leave them alone we may get some new colors by the end of the week.

Three today, one new. #BloomScrolling https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/821/808/241/251/358/original/e4d3dcbedbd15c37.jpeg https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/821/808/444/151/147/original/67e4c8eb728fc9ab.jpeg https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/821/808/708/377/489/original/1712263eeefd78b8.jpeg npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge We had a hairy-legged visitor to our patio this afternoon, I wish he would hunt the voles... https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/801/185/366/430/388/original/97e1b989d2584092.jpeg npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge It's funny when I've cleaned the whole house, and then spent another 4 hours in the yard, moving rocks, rehanging bird houses, replacing decorative art poles, and then watering all the new plants, to then have this stupid Apple Watch tell me that I haven't had any activities today, and I'm going to lose my active streak. If I had the energy, I'd tell it where to go. But it's strapped to my wrist, and I'm barely moving. npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge I like her stories too, I think I saw Martha Wells recommend her once. npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge Here is the remaining #daylily crop in the one bed that those lovely deer found a few days ago. Five plants were ready to open. So here is a beautiful #BloomScrolling photo for Friday. Hope to have better in the other bed in a day or so. https://media2.ai6yr.org/media_attachments/files/116/777/734/166/575/805/original/e6b020d6fc667c40.jpeg npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge That looks delicious *and* a beautiful bowl. npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge I'm a complete fail at the #daylily ju jour on my first day at my great new instance, because apparently with the removal of much of Mount Mulch yesterday the local deer have found that flowerbed. Five plants just ready to open have had the buds stripped and I'm not angry at all, nope, not at all. It's not like they didn't do this last year, too All those anti-deer products did not help. Will deadhead them (heh heh, no I meant the plants), and see if I can get a second round to the point of color. npub17wsrqc6a7fs6dfm7q32u5t0tw4tdcedkyfsjcpz0q7rmrvpjrljqjs2shd Edge Hi, all, I've moved servers in 2026, and have a great new home. If you're just finding me I'm an engineer who posts about plants, hiking, dogs, technology, politics, weather, and pretty much everything else. Looking forward to getting to know you.
