TIL that “Cirencester”, the English town, is not contracted in speech like all the other -cesters. Nope they pronounce every syllable. Siren. Ces. Ter.
Not today and probably not tomorrow but one day England will pay for its myriad crimes.

A few weeks ago we noticed yet-to-open #peonies (genus #Paeonia ) in the backyard. Guess what?
They're all over the neighborhood now. Turns out they're Spouse's favorite flower—a bit of luck for us that doubtless portends even bigger and better luck.

Why do people... gardeners ... call it "hellstrip"? @redcrew@mstdn.social @ClimateJenny@biodiversity.social @meganL@mas.to

#Lilac bush (genus #Syringa ). This pic is from a few weeks back. It never fully bloomed, probably because of the mid-month cold snap. Other lilacs in the neighborhood bloomed earlier and really pumped out their fragrance. Looking forward to next year's display. Good morning partypeople.

There are a lot of wild strawberries growing out back. Will there be fruit to harvest? Stay tuned partypeople.

Last weekend we were out on a stroll. We got as far as the end of the block when we saw two butterflies flyin' around. We stopped to take a photograph of them and a neighbor, inspired by us, went for it too. We chatted with her. When the neighborhood turkey came up, she told us she knew her as Mabel, & we told her we saw a drawing of her on someone's porch calling her Thelma. I don't feel so bad that I never got around to picking out a name for her, as she doesn't need 100 when 99 will do.
We continued on our way, made it one more block, when who should appear in the intersection? Three guesses. Oh yes, partypeople: Thelma herself. We waved our arms to warn an approaching car, and once she was out of harm's way, we snapped some shots.
On our way back, we just bumped into her at the same corner. This time we were on her side of the street. And that's how Spouse managed to get such a magnificent close-up.

From the link:
Q: Do you have a favorite hellstrip you've seen?
A: Yes, I just revisited it a few weeks ago. It was designed by Lauren Springer Ogden, who wrote the book's preface and came up with the term hellstrip. It's 800 feet long and is at The Gardens on Spring Creek, a public garden in Fort Collins, Colo. It's glorious. You could spend days there learning things. I highly recommend people go there and check it out.

Just happened to spot a pic of Chantal Biya on here. She’s the fashion-plate First Lady of Cameroon. If you’ve never done an image search of Chantal Biya, treat yself you won’t be sorry.

Like yesterday they snuck into the house (cuz we’d inadvertently left the back door open) and took a metal S-hook but left a mysterious coded message / artwork.
Ok I'm gonna biggup Paraguay, one of my favorite teams just because in Paraguay almost everyone can understand the big native language, Guaraní, as well as Spanish, and the players speak it on the field to confound their Spanish-speaking opponents.
So congratulations to Paraguay! ¡Enhorabuena!

@Seandar16@dice.camp Ok just gonna say it. When I was growing up, "the Great Northeast" (as my mom called it) and South Philly seemed to be so different, that your move kinda shocked me at first. But I haven't been back in years, and I hear South Philly has changed a lot.

#GarlicMustard ( #AlliariaPetiolata ) in the backyard. An invasive species. It’s a beautiful yard but if it belonged to us we’d try to make it native.

@Sharksonaplane@mastodon.sandwich.net The French wiki for the son doesn’t agree. The president has apparently been in Geneva for weeks, and yeah he’s 93, but the last time he was in Geneva for weeks he came back. So. I guess he’s not dead until they start fighting over the throne. Bonne chance, Cameroun!

Lotsa people (well my mother-in-law) dislike a #blueJay ( #CyanocittaCristata ) but not me, certainly biased due to my adolescent fandom of the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club.
