Hey , y'all need to rein in your marketing and web development team(s). I go to my Dropbox once every two or three months--and each time I end up having to learn how to use your website again because there has been so many changes. Please give me a basic file manager button, so I can by pass all of the BS website bloat FFS. Oy... :/

God förmiddag!

Var ute och kollade att naturen sköter sig om nätterna trots att det inte är mörkt då jag ändå inte kunde somna inatt.

Det gjorde den. Gladast blev jag över alla söta fladdermöss som var ute och jagade, och räven som sprang förbi i en väldig fart.

Temperaturen på behagliga 13°C och vinden tog hand om de flesta myggen. Solljuset som silade in mellan trädstammarna i soluppgången glödde varmt och fåglarna lät glada och nöjda när de väckte rådjuren som sov på fälten.

@ambivalena Wow, what a wonderful morning for you, despite getting very little sleep. Love seeing bats!

I drove 80 miles round-trip today with a friend to visit a plant nursery many people rave about.

I found only one native plant in the entire place (my friend said she also saw swamp milkweed), and I was horrified to find them selling Winter Creeper and Burning Bush, both of which are on the list of Top Invasive Plants in Missouri. Not to mention the fact that the Burning Bush look pretty pathetic for the price they are charging.

Grrrrrr.

#InvasivePlants #Missouri

Mostly dead looking Burning Bush for sale for $42.99 and $39.99.

@gladsdotter That's really a shame. Modern nurseries should mostly stock natives and be all about killing lawns and planting vegetables, fruits, or natives.

It's World Heritage Day in Germany today! In 2017, caves from the #IceAge in the Swabian Jura became UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mankind's earliest mobile art was found in those caves, e.g, the marvellous figure of the #lion man, carved in mammoth ivory ca. 40,000 years ago.

Found in the Hohlenstein-Stadel cave. On display at Museum Ulm.

    Idag har jag bara tagit två foton, och det på en skugga av en ljuslykta på väggen här hemma. Det blev visst inte mer tid över till det idag, men...
    ...snart blommar korskovallen, en av mina absoluta favoritblommor som set ut som små ceriseröda aliens eller rymdfarkoster. Såg knopparna igår :)

    Vissa dagar bara försvinner iväg nånstans dit en inte riktigt var i tanken.

    Telefoner som ringer, meddelanden som ska besvaras, saker en måste besluta hur en vill ha dem.

    Tja, och sen var den dagen slut, och så även min hjärna. Men jag fick iallafall tag på en rejäl knippa sparris till kvällens soppa, det gjorde inte ont nånstans.

    Justice says he believes that the wants him to repeat a significant portion of the .

    He will read pages 6-35.

    Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.

    Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.

    @Nonilex Me too. Really wasn't expecting this at all. And they reached a verdict after such a short deliberation. Clearly, it was a no brainer. (And thanks so much for the live toots over the course of the trial.)

    @ambivalena I wonder if anyone solo driving a Ford F-150 "truck" tank to work noticed and thought, for a second, that maybe, just maybe, they should have a smaller vehicle. I don't know about your country, Lena, but there's a plague of monster vehicles in this country. And each year they get bigger. Below is where we are at now. These pickup trucks, that often have one person in them and no cargo, are literally longer than a WWII tank. (Apologies for the rant.)
