Good morning! How are you holding up? What are you up to today? It's raining here this morning -- much needed -- so it will be an indoor chores and relaxation day for me. Yesterday I went and helped Mom and Dad clear some invasive blackberries. One of the leaves looked like a watercolor!
Good morning! How are you holding up? Any plans for Halloween? This is the night Rob gets to pick a scary movie for us to watch. Eeek! We have some nice bits of autumn color. The pseudocamellia leaves are fun because they color differently based on sun exposure! (The yellow bits were masked)
Good morning! How are you holding up? What are you up to today? Our pretty little Ginkgo is currently a blaze of golden glory. It usually holds its leaves for a week or two before dramatically dropping all of them within about 24 hours. It has been fun to keep track of "Ginkgo Drop Day"!

After observers lawfully filmed ICE in a public parking lot, the agents followed their car, boxed them in, and slashed their tire in retaliation. The observers bravely caught the whole thing on video.
"whosoever could make two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together" Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" was published #otd 1726
Absolutely brilliant to see. Yet fossil fuel use and emissions are STILL increasing, because capitalist economies require endless growth. On a finite planet, that can only end one way. Without system change, much of our efforts are little more than rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Jan Rosenow@janrosenow.bsky.social · 2w agoSolar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...
5+ inches of rain above normal, and the northern Chihuahuan Desert looks like this in late October.
