@noswpod.bsky.social I listened to Evensong of the Wild this morning on my way to the farm and really enjoyed the bird song. After taking care of the livestock, I started up the episode again and began to pull out of the driveway. But it turned out I'd forgotten to turn the electric fence on again.
Looking for a fit and flare/A-line dress for June in North Carolina. What shop do you recommend?
Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

My org's agriculture tour of southeastern South Dakota is shaping up to have a really cool agenda. Banquet menu is dynamite and our keynote is fighter pilot Kim "KC" Campbell, who flew an A-10 Thunderbolt that was shot over Baghdad. She's one of the only people to land the plane in manual mode.

After a few lambing seasons of having a majority ram lambs, we have had mostly ewes born this year, which will rejuvenate our Shetland flock. This ewe lamb was born yesterday to an excellent mother, one of my favorite ewes.
I am looking for a way to sync my Scrivener projects to an Android phone app so I can work on the go. What suggestions do you have for working with Scrivener on Android? #WritingCommunity #amwriting #WIP
