Proud dad of two. All people deserve kindness and equality.

If you have kids under age 18, can you please help me with something? I want to check my biases. Thank you! If you’d like to boost for reach, that’d be great.

In your experience, do social gatherings centered around the kids - an end of season banquet for a sport, a birthday party, hanging out at the public pool, etc - often include the parents drinking a lot / getting drunk?

@Michigander I would have feared the wrath of the faerie folk. Real fairies.Celtic fairies. Not the glittery flittery fairies the English have, but the kind that steal every baby in the village because someone plucked a daisy near their fairy tree.
Finally got into our normal summer weather. Every day will now be like this until mid-September.
A few no Summer photos from our walk this morning. I do love the colors right now. Every direction sports layers of color.
I do love where we live.

Me checking the news first thing every morning.

US-ians can take some hard lessons from our European friends on how to take time off 😂 :

Dear Correspondent,

Summer is here, I am not.

Back on August 6th, you may wish to resend your message after that date if still relevant.

Thanks for your understanding and enjoy the sun!

good morning from the shady nook of my garden…looking kinda tropical, to match the steamy heat wave…

About 20 years ago, I saw an excellent rock. It was unusual, so I took a photo. But I couldn’t find the photo shortly afterwards and thought I’d deleted it by mistake. I was sad. I kept describing the rock to people, but they were strangely uninterested. I am clearing out my photo archive and I just found it. I am happy. I missed this rock. I thought of it often. I can show my rock to people now, whether they want to see it or not. You included.

@backyardecology Oh those are my favorite! It's been years since I've seen one, sadly.
