An incredibly useful skill.

An excellent way of framing it!

The God of Snacks and Procrastination visits me frequently. Often accompanied by the Chaotic Jester of Distraction

Peak enjoyment right there.

I hope it was a pepperoni. Oh, or maybe a banana pepper laced between locks of hair, masquerading as some sort of hair tie lol

This prickly cactus is shaped like spiked elbow macaroni with magenta flowers rising from its curves.

Acacia is yellow and looks like tiny bottle brushes.

Scared datura is a giant trumpet-like flower without any petals - one continuous flow like an 1800s belle skirt.

A two-armed saguaro buddies up to a blooming ocotillo, with its medusa-like, twiggy branches.

For those who think the desert is "dead" and worth sacrificing to foreign mining ... this is just along ONE portion of the wash near my house. #SonoranDesert 1) Hedgehog #cactus 2) #Acacia 3) Sacred #Datura 4) iconic #saguaro and #ocotillo

Awesome!

omfg…you know, you’re right. Sounds exactly like something they’d do. This current existence has me waffling between absolute despair and maniacal laughter as if I’m watching a comedy.

Discovering your own food is an amazing feeling. Briefly being overcome with delight as I pour the remaining pizza rolls onto a pan.

It’s important to set yourself achievable goals. I hope the cats don’t judge harshly and instead decide to smother you with comfort.

“Mmffftppphmm!”, I shout with a mouth full of hot dog while flailing the remainder in the air as a raven flies over.

Been difficult to get anything done today. Ravens keep flying over the yard and I sooooooo want them to come visit.

He, and all those that enabled him, need to go.

Oooooo! I like this. More more more!

Added screenshots from the app to the nicethings.today webpage!

And wiped the games directory in the process. Ouch.

Never fear! We are using the magical protective spell called ~~Version Control~~ and I was able to ressurrect what's gonna be your new pet rock's first game: WORD WAFFLE. #IndieDev

Yay!

Well, shit. I can’t get up now, the Inca doves just got comfy on the feeder.

Forest Raven

We’re taking a break from yard work. The pigeons have been working hard, so we decided it was lunch time.

Oh no! One shoe is tied tighter than the other. Argh!

I don't want photo realistic video games!

Woke up today feeling useless, hopeless, and devoid of any joy. I dislike days that start like this and I’ve been having them a lot.

I did hear a raven earlier and ran outside to get a better view, that was exciting.

Juvenile Cactus Wren

Awww! They are gorgeous. Local organization here, Liberty Wildlife, has a lot of ambassador birds, vultures included. I spend most of my time visiting them and the ravens.

Excellent art of an adorable little bird. I especially like the background & paint splatters!

Cardboard box shaped to be a soccer field. There’s a suet ball in the middle to be used as the ball.

Because I’m an adult and do adult things, I “crafted” this superb activity center for the pigeons. The idea is for them to play Suet Soccer using the provided suet ball.

This is day 2 of trying to get them to play.

Hoeing gets my blood pressure going.

This is a statement about yard work.
