What magic ๐ฎ is this? Weirdo keyboard settings change has an emoji button.
Happy Wednesday, dear journal!
Garden report – grapevines ๐, squash ๐ and asparagus all coming along nicely. I am hoping that our vineyard is tasty and fruitful when the time comes. As it gets cooler, the vines are going to get more woody and tough, so I am glad they are visibly growing every day while it is still warm. The one overachiever vine is something like 7ish feet now, where the rest are at about 5.
Had to regather our recycling this morning as the wind had taken some of our many cardboard boxes out of the bin. It was overfull since we get a regular veggie ๐ฅฌ๐ฅฆ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ delivery from imperfect and misfit.
Loving the cooler ๐ weather ๐ฅ๏ธ right now, fewer mosquitoes ๐ฆ and more songbirds and crickets ๐ฆ It was downright cacophonous when I was walking out this morning. Temp went from upper 60s to low 70s, and quite comfy – I am creaky ๐ฆด๐ but very happy โบ๏ธ to have gone for a little promenade ๐ถโโ๏ธ right after breakfast ๐ฅฃ.
Critter count – too many squirrels, something big in the brush (probably a fox ๐ฆ or a possum ) that took off at serious speed when trod on a particularly snappy branch.
Several songbirds ๐ถ ๐ฆ, I think finches and robins but a finer ear than mine could probably pick out more specific and varied chirps. One osprey ๐ ๐ฆ was seen but not heard, no eagles ๐ฆ and side note, we have a neighborhood owl ๐ฆthat can be heard nightly ๐ from our porch, but not during the day ๐ (reasonable)
No turtles ๐ข, frogs ๐ธ, children of the corn ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐ฝ or buffalo๐ to be seen.
Catwise, I only saw Panda cat ๐ผ ๐ again today, fluffernutter cat๐ฅโช๐, and alien cat ๐ฝ ๐
I wonder how silly ๐ this will look to me later looking back ? I don’t usually fiddle with emoji, but figured that I would follow my keyboard suggestions for a change .
