"no time spent with dogs and books is ever wasted"
Jun. 8th, 2026 12:15 amThere are six succulents in the succulent planter. One of them showed no ill effects yesterday and continues to look fine today. Two others look better today than they did yesterday. The remaining three probably don't look worse (don't compare appearance in the dark to appearance when there's light, ig). My calendar says I haven't watered them since March 31. I think that's a lie. Whatever the truth is, it was too long, so I put a new reminder to check them in two weeks instead of the previous three. (It definitely wasn't three.)
Today we got ice cream, followed by so many pride decorations and more silk flowers, then pavers, a downspout diverter, and rainbow paint for our rain barrel. We also found a new trail by virtue of a car backing out of it onto the road in front of us. We couldn't find it on any official map later, but my watch traced our 15 minute out-and-back precisely enough that we could guess where it goes. Also it had a bridge, which was cool.
And I finally finished my pine tree! That would just leave the cherry tree, except that one (1) person reviewed the wisteria tree (with picture) and my poorly calibrated AI detector* determined it was a real builder with the actual item. So I originally got two trees, I've made two since, and I have three left. Tree math.
*Excellent at detecting AI writing, not great with anything else.
