    Put up some photos from a recent morning at Tohono Chul (garden in Tucson, AZ) https://www.jmenning.com/places/TohonoChul

    I subscribed to a monthly yarn box, with the goal of doing more projects, inspired by what&amp;#39;s in the box. This month the colors are a bright blue, a dark purple-blue, periwinkle, and pale gray. Here&amp;#39;s my tablet woven band in progress. I was trying for drops of water splashing into a puddle, but what I really see is jewels set into a bracelet.

    I love, love this essay. It&amp;#39;s beautiful and kind and is making me think about &amp;quot;boundaries&amp;quot; in a different way. https://sarahmock.substack.com/p/for-the-love-of-the-barda

    @davatron5000 More than anything else, this is why I love RSS. The posts just sit there until I&amp;#39;m ready to read them. For days, for weeks, for months... patiently waiting until I get to them, tucked away in a single web page

    It&amp;#39;s springtime in the desert and it&amp;#39;s starting to bloom

    Another weekend, another set of flowers in bloom at Saguaro National Park The fairy dusters are a hot mess, but they are absolute bee magnets. The rocket is an invasive weed, but it looks cool.

    For real, I just need to stop sharing anything on Reddit. I posted some of my photos of spring flowers. First two comments were pedants complaining that it isn&amp;#39;t spring until March 20 🙄 and that I should really be worried that they were blooming this early. Like, obviously. I never said it wasn&amp;#39;t. But also, it&amp;#39;s still pretty and I can enjoy it. Pedants and gloom-mongers are the worst when I share things that make me happy. I&amp;#39;ll take the zero-reply environment...
