Neighbor told us to come over and pick as many pears from his tree as we could and all he asked for in return is some jam. We got 153 lbs of pears and there's probably another 150 still on the tree 😅 He also gave us 3 more cantaloupe (and 4 more overripe ones we fed to the chickens). 🌱

4 milk crates overflowing with pears in the bed of a gray pickup truck with the tailgate down. In front of the milk crates are 3 ripe cantaloupe. On the right, propped up by the front right milk crate, is a long handled tool with a basket on the end for picking fruit. To the left is a folded ladder. In the front of the bed is another milk crate about 1/3 full with mushy/yucky fruit.

We had to do a taste test of some of the varieties we harvested this morning. Black Cherry, as always, won 🌱🍽️ Clockwise from top left: Amish Paste, Beefsteak Yellow, Roma, Carolina Gold, Black Cherry, Aunt Ruby's Green Striped, Weisnicht’s Ukranian, Mystery Cherry, San Marzano, Better Boy

A plastic (sorry) cutting board with a whole bunch of varieties of sliced tomatoes - red, yellow, pink, green, roma-types, cherry types, on a gray countertop. A yellow-handled serrated knife sits on the top right of the cutting board next to a few uncut red tomatoes.

That flower logo, BTW, was a nod to BP wanting to move into crop-based biofuels. Thankfully, these remain a tiny % of BP’s overall production & they have shut plants down over the years. Unfortunately, wind & solar also have remained a tiny % and BP production is basically all still fossil fuels.

Remember “beyond petroleum?” With this move they shrug off the last vestige of the era when change at least looked like it could have happened.

Life is hard enough already, why the fuck do so many people have to be hateful when it's so much better for everyone to be kind? Ugh. Appreciate hanging with you lot, being horrified by the horrors together. (It is good to not be alone with them.) There are more of us than there are of them.

Finally got around to listening to this while making pizzas tonight. Great stuff and fun to listen to songs from artists not normally on my playlists. Give Ian's show a spin, if you don't like it you can get your money back!

5yo, after blowing a fly out of his nose that had flown up there: Dad, have you ever had a fly fly up your nose? Me: I don't know, if I did I can't remember 5yo: Why, because you're so OLD?
