It seems northern NY, New England already sold out in places for #Eclipse 2024 https://nationaleclipse.com We're booked for a VRBO in the Adirondacks- if it's cloudy (not unlikely) we have fussball and air hockey, of more interest to grandkids than solar geometry anyway. 2017 in NJ the eldest had fun with pinhole images.
Nearly two inches of rain overnight and yarrow sprouting. This is not a New England winter I'm familiar with.
Thread spools used to be made of wood. Not that long ago, really. Then plastic, and the price increased (not cause and effect).
Scraping scale insects off the allspice tree and cleaning up the mess they leave behind is oddly satisfying. When it was half this size, spouse said it it's too much work get rid of it. Now he's gone it's my duty (plus his two banana and lime trees, also scale-prone).
Clash of cultures leftover lunch. This descendant of southern Italy preferred the home-made pork bao.
