I guess I assumed that a glowworm was the larval stage and never bothered to look it up

I think the two terms were interchangeable in Michigan when I was a kid

Of the 3,627 nuts he buried last fall, Kevin has found four. #scatterhoarding

So eternally great.

All this and horses too? 👍 !!

Lovely!

I think that this effort, by @katherinepomps.bsky.social and @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org, will prove to be one of the more consequential analyses conducted during the first two years of this administration. Its findings are incredibly alarming, but they can be addressed.

Reggie has now learned to check for forgotten eggs in his basket at the end of his shift.

The way he rushes backward to position himself at just the right distance! 😍

It's a damp, raw day here but one of my across-the-street neighbors has this cheerful forsythia bush.

Jeremy, I just realized there’s a beautiful moon coming up over the trees here!

She has such an expressive face and the pix you post really capture her moods!

That’s wonderful!

It’s rainy here tonight but I bet there’s an impressive moon behind the clouds 🌧️

Good. Working early voting tomorrow morning. (Local election next week)

Bernice is a seventh-level fire dragon, but she was raised by cats.

Flame, I’ve been wearing my feelings box hoodie all morning! (and pretty much every other day as well)

And with Bakey there to set an example

This is wonderful. (I recall my dad saying, when I was about high school band age, “I don’t know how they get such a lot of music out of a bunch of kids!”)

This is one of your best ever alt-texts, I think! 💜

And it’s not just squirrels who do this! Some years ago a friend built a birdhouse with a door hole sized for one kind of bird and a different one enlarged the hole and moved in

At this time of year I hope you’ll have second thoughts about that…

I think my Scots ancestors would agree!

That’s great news!

I read that as “single malt herring” and thought Lumi really has interesting standards!

Kippered herring, now, that’s fine with me. (Haven’t had it in decades, but…)

Happy birthday, and many more!

These pix make me feel I’m visiting a botanical garden!
