NB: turns out *everyone* paints or otherwise decorates eggs. Because birds produce them in spring, they're part of spring festivals, and humans being human, we're like, "That's a flat (enough) surface. I could make art on it. Hold my beer..."

I mowed fourteen thousand steps worth.
If I keep the grass short on Summer's front acre we are more fire safe, she picks up fewer ticks and my husband is less likely to fall when he can see the contours of the ground more clearly. For all of those reasons I push an old gas powered mower. The good news is that I've decided to start a battery powered mower savings stash again. Last time I ended up doing something else important with my mower fund but this time it's past time to modernize. I expect I will treat myself to an upgrade for my birthday in September.
In between mowing and other chores I finished my daughter's favorite lemon blueberry scones.
They smell so good. The big problem is that there are eight scones and only seven fit in the travel container.
I asked Summer what to do?
She thinks we should drop the orphan scone off to a friend who lives alone because there is only one scone and three of us.
She is a genius.

De gemeentes #Amsterdam, #Ede, #Hertogenbosch en #Zaanstad starten met een pilot voor een autonome digitale werkomgeving. Zij testen een Linux-werkplek en #mijnbureau. De pilot moet gemeenten helpen minder afhankelijk te worden van grote softwareleveranciers en meer regie te krijgen op hun digitale infrastructuur.

“Spoke with Pres Trump🚨-told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table.

"If happens, it happens. & if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country.”

I asked➡️anything off limits.

“Very little,” he said.”
-R Scott

“Trump is calling reporters today to tell them he’s🚨going to commit mass #WarCrimes next week. GOP leaders need to stop him.
Never mind that blowing up…”

Maak niet normaal, wat niet normaal is’, aldus W.A. van Oranje. Die er al geen been in zag, psychopaat Trump te laten logeren in Huis ten Bosch en nu dus een tegenbezoek aan de USA-fascist wil brengen. Dit is NIET mijn staatshoofd. Fout. Schaamteloos. Rijken onder elkaar. Zonder moraliteit.

I wish I could tell you that all our preparations meant we were ready, that we never despaired, that we knew we would endure. I don’t think any of that is true. I spent much of December and January considering, seriously and vividly considering, that this was the arrival of an authoritarian police state that could outlive me. But I didn’t spend too much •time• considering that — because there was work to be done, work right here, in my lap, and nobody was coming to save us.

In Australia the holiday season is the season to use petrol gardening equipment all day, every day. Pythons, lizards, frogs and insects are simply shredded and mulched alive.

Robotic lawn mowers and fossil fuel gardening tools are shredding wildlife

"Scientists analyzed 370 documented cases of hedgehogs being injured (cut) by electric gardening tools in Germany. Almost half of the hedgehogs found ... did not survive the injuries. The data reveal a serious animal welfare and conservation issue for these specially protected animals, as most hedgehogs were only found hours or even days after the accidents." >>

Stop het bezoek van Koning Willem Alexander en Maxima aan Trump

Koning Willem-Alexander en koningin Máxima gaan mogelijk in april op werkbezoek naar de Verenigde Staten. Daarbij zit ook een ontmoeting met president Donald Trump in de planning. Met de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten en de vijandige houding van Trump naar Europa, is zo'n bezoek nu volledig ongepast. https://bezoektrumpniet.petities.nl
