The chickens always produce more eggs in the days after I clean out the coop and put fresh pine shavings in their laying boxes.
Erin is driving to check her mailbox and grab some items for the chicken soup (Oliver has come down with a cold but test - for Covid). Malia was at store earlier. Cats out of food. ‘We need a shared online family grocery list’ says Erin. Is there such a tool?
Backyard concert in Carrboro, North Carolina.
Shopping for beer for the first time in 3 months (was on meds that kept me off alcohol) and there are 3 mango and 1 guava beer to choose from. Yes, I like tropical fruit in my beer.
Rain through the night but Burlington Shoot Out still on so I drove Oliver here for his soccer games. Passed a DeKalb sign on the way and remembered my summers detasseling corn in Northern Illinois.
Went 3 miles with the Carrboro Run Club. Felt great to be moving again after the craziness of the last 4 weeks (plumbing repairs at home). Was informed I have been promoted to a manager role at DCRI so happy about that news.
Heading to bed but heard owls so I stepped outside to listen. The scent of the white ginger lily was in the air. I shined a light and saw a moth at the pink ginger and a spider at the center of its web.
We’re back in our house after a three-week plumbing project to update all of the piping in and now out and around the house. The toilets are flushing & the washing machine is cleaning clothes. That’s good news. Bad is we discovered a new issue in this old house. We’re tired.
Don’t touch - look and smell.

Morning walk on Raleigh’s Crabtree Creek Trail, and now coffee and a bagel with a good book at Brew Coffee Bar.

I guess this must be how we get new turtles in our forest. 🐢
Is anyone in the Micro.blog world in the business of embroidery? I’m looking to order some custom velcro-backed patches. Would like to find someone local to North Carolina or from this great online community.
