New addition So, some time ago we got new chicks and a pair of ducklings. Pekin ducks aren't known for sitting on eggs. One of the chickens ended up being a dwarf, far too small to join the other girls in the yard. So she is kept inside. Last month, she went...See More »
It just doesn't get dark like it used to.Growing up in a rural area, I remember a blanket of stars and if it was an overcast night it would be so dark that you could barely see to walk. Living now in suburbs, only a handful of objects sign in the night skies and half of those are aircraft...See More »
Robin Hood: Hero or Villain? Poll (21) See Poll OptionsIgnoring the narrative bias of the story, what are your thoughts?
Sometimes I think my hair has been darkening But then I get reminders that I'm just inside the house too much and our lighting is terrible.
Anyone else read Robin Hobb?Halfway through the third book of Tawny Man trilogy. Read both the Farseer and Liveship Trader trilogies before this. Really had a slow start but now I'm fully involved and lament the number of books left to read is beginning to shrink. I don't want...See More »
Today I learned about the existence of the great-eared nightjar. Kind of a terrible name, but what an interesting bird

When you forget SW is STILL broken and you respond to 6 hour old posts thinking they were actually recentI have my settings about as permissive as they'll go. I just want a "no filter" or "show me everything" option.
Halloween: snubbed by the neighborsNeighbors across the street assembled a large group of kids and parents for Halloween. I went and sat out front with my candy bowl to do handouts. They all just left walking down the street, right past me. No waves, no questions, just right on by....See More »
New Duck Pics For those that crave them. First, I grabbed a picture through the closed window to get them in their natural state. Which is by their pool! And then, oh shit the window was opened! Here they come! And now they hang out in this corner so they...See More »
First time being sick in years.Just a common cold, covid test was negative. It's like my body forgot how to deal with this crap. Twelve hours of sleep, got up to eat lunch and now my body is all, you know what would be great right now? More sleep. Suppose I should give it what it...See More »
Ducks moved to chicken yard It's a few weeks earlier than planned, but we graduated ducks to the chicken yard. There's been a black bear roaming the neighborhood and the chicken coop is much safer if we close them in there at night. They like the extra space but mostly hang...See More »
Some thin skin going on around here...Blocked for a simple statement of "I disagree" to a highly misanthropic quote. 😅
Anyone else get more upset when pets are killed in tv and movies than when people are?For some reason I always feel more strongly for the dead pets
I get called "ma'am" a lot in the store. It happened before covid and masking, but with the mask... 😅
