Restraint. Class. Dignity. Not sure I coulda been this strong.

SAME

Truth. There is a bigger dimension that this is a piece of. In an overly simplistic nutshell, that sounds easier than it is...there is peace in surrender.

Exciting! I've had issues with spring veg most years too especially lettuces. The most satisfying leafies I've ever grown are swiss chard, mustard, kale, and...fortunately I happen to like all of those. Not sure how much veg gardening I will do this year. I was short on time last spring and kinda enjoyed the less intensive annual flowers and herbs garden...we shall see!

I've been lobbying for Trenton but might just run Richmond up the flagpole. Have you been to Greece before? Yeah...it's pretty tempting, hard to think about not taking the opportunity and regretting it...

never needed them more! I've been invited to a milestone birthday celebration in Greece (Rhodes) for one week this summer and thinking about doing it. I've been abroad but never there.

My brain is now trying to stitch together a joke from "shit the blinds" + "reload" and I wish it weren't.

Idk if this is the right thread but I just took a walk in the woods and saw a mourning cloak butterfly out and about (overwinters as an adult TILT)

Skipping right to the end to say I am just getting back here and so excited to read all your bourbon recs! I knew you wouldn't let me down.

We haven't talked about #bourbon for a while. What are peeps enjoying?

Of course those stereotypes are wrong, not even a question. I did happen to know a drummer who was always late, but he's better now Fuck yeah

'shit the blinds' immediately connected to 'shit hit the fan' in my brain and I guess that tracks anyway I'll never be able to unsee this

Low of 25. Neighbors' pier looks like it's coated in snow from the heavy frost. Did a double-take pre-caffeination

loving the pics, please post yer flake(s) w/o shame or hesitation

ToTo, thank you for breaking your silence with this honest and very brave post.

There is a definite "what season even is this" quality. 55 here, too.

Happy New Year, weenies!

dense fog advisory locations - that escalated quickly

Farewell for now, lovely crispy crunchy leaves and ice

I didn't know where to put this, but since we have learners as well as knowers here I thought this was good. Article more involved/technical.

Goodness that's spectacular!

Outlandish scene! Newfoundlanders have a word for this, they would say those houses are ballicattered #icetrivia

So sorry to hear. That is rough. Wishing you a better and brighter 2023. I find weather can be soothing (ironically, for all the pain it causes weenies) in the same ways Bob Chill talked about nature and being present in the moment. It simply "is". Years ago an acquaintance who was not a weather weenie per se but was an avid sailor/boatbuilder gave me a metaphor that I really like...if you are on a boat in a storm, far from land, you just try to "weather" the storm. In hard times I have thought about that...I don't have to do anything right now but weather this. Because weather always changes and this will pass.
