Sitting outside listening to baby raccoons nursing. They purr while doing so. 😍 Here's photos of mama and baby. So far there have been 3 babies spotted. Mama +1 and another mama +2.
@Jeber nope. At least where I live there hasn't been a case of rabies in a raccoon in 70+ years. It is far more likely it's a pregnant raccoon.
My very pregnant raccoon friend is napping. 😍
Please remember that if you see a daytime raccoon they are most likely either pregnant or out looking for food and water while the babies are asleep in the den. Raccoons aren't nocturnal.
@corlin It's basically a standard seat included walker, but the wheels are bigger and are solid core.
The position of the handles forced my right-side up, matching my left, allowing all of the ligaments, muscles, and bones to work properly. I'm so excited! Today was really bad pain-wise - which meant walking more than 10ft couldn't happen. Since we were planting today, my wheelchair wasn't going to work. So I tried the walker my mom dropped off awhile ago, and was able to get outside and help with the planting! It went over dirt and gravel beautifully! Mobility assistance devices rock!
I just used a wheeled-walker for the first time, and it is an absolute game-changer for me. My spine collapsed on the right side a few years ago (guard your spine while doing risky stuff folks), resulting in my torso being a bit crooked. That in turn has made walking excruciating on my right side. I normally use a wheelchair, but finally tried out an all-terrain walker today, and it felt like the injury was gone. 😃
Corn is planted! 😊 Of course the squirrels watched us do it, so we deployed our anti-squirrel/bird device (aka plastic sheeting).
We're doing the Three Sisters planting method. So in appx 2 weeks we'll plant the peas around the corn, and then two weeks after that we'll plant the pumpkins. We're also going to plant the 4th Sister, Sunflower, interspersed, with lavender surrounding everything to hopefully keep the deer away from the corn.

Simona Kossak was a scientist, ecologist, and an activist who fought to protect Europe's oldest forest. The locals called her a witch, because she chatted with animals and owned a terrorist-crow, who stole gold and attacked bicycle riders. She spent more than 30 years in a wooden hut in the Białowieża Forest (Poland), without electricity or access to running water. A lynx slept in her bed, and a tamed boar lived with her under the same roof.

Per CNN via Hugo Lowell from the Guardian:
Sources indicate this doc was classified at the SECRET level, the kind of doc DOJ would be inclined to charge.
The recording was made at Bedminster in July 2021 by Trump aide Margo Martin when Trump met with ghost writers for Mark Meadows’ book, per sources familiar. Martin had her laptop and devices imaged earlier this year and got asked about the tape when she testified in March.

Remember, we don't need Matt Taibbi or #Twitter files to tell us that Elon directly influenced today's Turkish elections. The genius is all too happy to tell us.
Step 6: now that the soap has cured for 24hrs, time to remove it from the mold and cut it into bars. It'll then spend the next month curing completely.
