a triangle lives here

I was looking at my camera roll and seeing I had a lot of meals I don't think I posted.

The peaches from our cherry trees[1] are fiiinally ripening and they're quite tasty, which is good since we have no idea what kind they are or anything about them.

Immersion blenders are great.

gooseberry has started a two-days-a-week preschool and it is melting all of us. it is too cute; she loves it I have it on good authority she referred to it as "like live-action daniel tiger"

Gooseberry is in love with donkey kong and the little purple rock.

it has been...

Goose: "your hair is boring!

Here's something I came up with today that I'm gonna play with for a while: instead of looking at doing social things, or using my brain extra hard, or doing a thing I have to do but don't want to do, or even hyperfocusing as things that deplete a resourc…

nergaoul's The Thrill but instead of bloodlust in warfare it's infodumping/troubleshooting as the SME during a meeting

Goose enters: blowing on a wooden owl whistle me: "good morning little owl how are you?"

leftover curry

There is a time, around idk, 6,7 months where a baby starts really showing preference.

I haven't made curry in toooo long.

I'm pretty pleased with this one: HG Aerial Rebuild I got this for my birthday; I haven't built one in several months and was honestly kinda done for the time being...

Here's some pics I took--not from my most recent camping trip, but from/around the time of my last one.

we went camping over the weekend, an activity I will always recommend.

Gooseberry is (understandably) not an adventurous eater.

I make a pizza every Friday.

this bowl is notable: gooseberry cut the green portions of the green onions solo

Snap loves to growl.

"I'm going to play 'mountains of the rocks.'"

something that grants an immediate sense of Power and Wonder: using a piece of char cloth to ignite a ball of paper/grass/other kindling.

it my birthday.

is laying flat on your back, a baby sleeping on ur chest; their arms are floppy noodles draping every which way

This collab is me and my daughter: I started with the center goblin in a dress, then handed the pad to Goose for some flowers.

Through a series of events culminating in, "this was something I thought was really cool as a kid and still do so why not" I am strongly considering driving an hour on Saturday to get a ham radio license.

Lately, Snapdragon has been egging on Gooseberry at bedtime.

yesterday Snapdragon Saw Zita for the first time.

on my way home today I fully stopped the car in the middle of the two lane highway to let a mama pheasant make her stately way across with two little babies

Yesterday I was finishing filling up our pool and hooking up the filter after having drained it the days prior[1]; a lot of water striders found our pool in May so I was skimming them out hoping they can travel down to the much friendlier pond vs the chlo…

playing "I spy" in the car: Gooseberry: "pretend you both landed on licorice so I get to go again--I spy..."

i think they're asking the frog

if you give a seth a maintenance project, and that project comes with a puzzle, he ends up cleaning a lot of things Our kitchen faucet has been dripping.

Goose needed to paint someone's nails on Saturday so of course I said yes.

Em: "I think snapdragon's at the point of 'unhappy until food/bedtime'" Me: "yeah; just needs constant stimulation (to goose) Are you stimulated?"

A month or so back I finished up Hotel Dusk Room 215, a DS point-n-click slash visual novel by CiNG, who also made Another Code (which got remade for the Switch I believe?).

Been building and tidying lego recently.

OF MR OUCH sorry darkmode users I don't have the time rn to make this flipflop btween white and black

"Dad, I have two mothers."

Well, the bumblequeens are out, the trilium is yet to flower, and the morels are not up here quite yet.

"let's play physical comedy again!"

As mentioned yesterday, I had a toolspiration yesterday.

fall down a rabbit hole for a relatively niche[1] tool, realize you could likely 3D print it, look up prints, get disappointed cuz the ones you see have a poor grasp on the optimizations necessary for good printing, then start drafting your own design men…

Gooseberry: "I want a string of mummified parasites" Em: "a what??"

"You're TOO loud!

scooched a big toad away from the tire of our van in the dark tonight so we wouldn't make a little toadcake as we left. it was a good guy, love a toad I also heard some bodies singing at the pond; it's not many yet so I feel like if I went stomping out th…

The other day I was directed to Technology Connection's pinball videos by a member of the weird formerly blaseball discord I'm in.

Previously, Snapdragon showed herself an art lover.

The thing that kicked off my trying gunpla building was getting a little gundam guy from a gacha machine when I was visiting my SIL.
