Soft and pretty girl Anna was not shy at all about taking a biscuit right out of my hand. Look at that little tuft of hair on her head! Adopt her at the #Denver Animal Shelter.
Once again, The Spice Baron is hosting a Denver area Meetup on Aug 26th with (probably NSFK) anti-woke comedy, BBQ goats, and fun! We will also try to get a good audio report in for @adam and @Johncdvorak
This time we will be at our private ranch/urban farm at Oak and 72nd in Arvada, CO.
When we bought our home 15 summers ago, the backyard was basically lawn and Virginia Creeper. There wasn't bird song. Or pollinators. Just a lot of scorching Colorado (US) sun and Kentucky Bluegrass that wanted vast quantities of water in a state that historically doesn't have a lot of water. It wasn't a place where my melanin-challenged family could spend much time. #Gardening#Zone5b#Denver#BloomScrolling 1/7
Going back to the beginning, this is what 15 summers does. Besides the flora for pollinators and a room for our family, we've more than 20 kinds of birds who visit us. Caterpillars turned themselves into black swallowtail butterflies this year. Annual cicadas spend summers serenading us. Bats live in the maple tree. Grasshoppers love the shrubs. We sit eating strawberries off the plants with the sun on our faces. Best of all, our souls are happy. #Gardening#Zone5b#Denver#BloomScrolling /fin
Star Wars nerds in US-adjacent timezones: I’m planning a weekly watch-along for Ahsoka! Like in the past, I’ll probably schedule it for 8:30 PM MDT due to my kids' bedtime, which I know is kinda late for folks farther east.
I’ll get a web page up soon w/more details, but if you’re interested, could you:
And #StarWars fans I know IRL around the #Denver area: we should figure out an in-person get together as well. In the past I have hosted just at my place, or we have done a rotation between a few friends' places. I’m open to suggestions here; let me know!
