Came here to recommend the same thing! I have 3 now 😅; I wear them all summer. Love the hood and long sleeves.

A very tiny bright orange baby salamander. It is extraordinarily cute, lying happily on moss.

We saw our first little red eft of the year today. If you see one please do not pick it up! Their skin is highly porous and the salt, oils, lotion, sunblock, bug spray, etc. from your hands can make them sick. Use a leaf to move them if they must be relocated for their safety. ❤️

Hahaha yeah they save it all up for the spicy flavour hee hee

I agree! I want to collab with a farm-related group to do that!!

I chickened out and draw the jar (instead of the seeds or even mustard greens) haha

I would watch the shit out of that!!!

Someday I will do some food comics…

A pen drawing of a bunch of vegetables in the brassica family: cabbage, broccoli, kale, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, turnip, and mustard. The cabbage is saying "Us? We’re all related!"

Volunteering at the local food hub pick-up means vegetable doodles:

Hard agree!

Yeah, the crinkles! Gordie likes paper bags (and ripping them apart)…we call them "rage bags" because he does it when he’s angry haha

I’m trying to get him to like tummy rubs, but it is still 🗡️forbidden🗡️

Gordie the orange and white one-eyed cat, laying belly-down on the green-blue carpet. His back legs are stretched out behind him, making it look like he is flying.

And pretty soon, it’ll be sploot season.

I don’t post enough pics of this little man. It’s finally sunbeam season (Dec-March are just solid clouds here). I reckon he’s caught himself a good one.

A paper straw! They’re his favorite! I think it’s the way they travel when he bats them around. (He needs to be supervised with them because he also likes to eat them…)

Thanks, @jennifermaryg.bsky.social!
