It’s one of my neighborhood’s most beautiful yards. I love walking past it.
This is a handful of the oak tree growth I mentioned recently. Definitely not gall, but what is it?
Also, one of the PCC collage artists posted another vantage of the leaning-back man which makes more clear that he is, indeed, a man.
I’m going to keep an eye out for images that are of my own making.
Lastly, Finn had a twerked nail that he was worrying. I tried to clip it so that it would stop annoying him and it was an utter mistake. He bled everywhere. I ended up putting his bed outside and giving him treats to distract him, while K ran out for that powder that stops bleeding (which we used to have and for some reason didn’t anymore). Naturally, the very act of departing to get the powder made the bleeding stop like magic.
aw poor Finny, all better now? I would’ve panicked, he’s lucky to have you to know what to do.
I think I missed stuff about PCC and leaning back man… is PCC back up and healthy? I’m still staying off social media for a while.
It was kind of a scene of panic. Nothing was helping. Not rinsing. Not pressure.
The leaning back man was the Paris Collage prompt a few weeks back but the angle of the photo made it possible to interpret his gender both way.
Should I delete your Instagram account?
(((Dee & Finn))) good to read that nail settled down and re the Covid Booster with the flu shot on the same day, I did that to get them out of the way, felt a bit sluggish the next day but fine after that
Since I haven’t had any reactions previously, I’m optimistic that I’ll get a sore arm and maybe not much else.
Might be some kind of fungus? Never seen that before.
Water heater sprung a leak and flooded the basement, I could use some magic.
They’re hard like acorns tho.
Read about the flood over at your blog. What a bummer. We run two dehumidifiers in our basement year round and still my fabric stinks! Hope it’s not too bad if a mess.
Never had a basement before. Yuck.
pine cone oak gall
Andricus quercusstrobilanus
So it IS gall. Thank you! Now I can look it up.
Oh gross! Each one contains a “large, plump larva” and I don’t know where I put them after taking that picture!!
Gosh, that yard IS pretty! What is the name of the big red flowers? I’ve only seen them when the are maybe 3 inches tall. Stunning collages.
I think it’s amaranth
Yup, amaranth ( big red flower)
And uh, oh…better find that gall…ha ha!
It is now officially the stuff of nightmares.
oh “leaning back” sounds cool. yes, delete that account. I’ll let you know my new persona.
I could only block it. I believe you have to delete it.
The first thing I did was delete the account. At least, IG told me it was deleted. Is it still out there spewing sh$%#t?
It’s gone
I’ll never look deeply at a seed pod again. Let us know when you find them!
I’m hoping I threw them out but I really don’t remember.
