A solid favorite here though it's typically "basic" blueberries.

Do you guys have Trader Joe's stores near by? They sell fantastic frozen organic wild blueberries that get us through the times when fresh berries need passports...

OK, this is what I'm seeing in that particular episode:

Henny Penny, after spending quite some time away worried by the pandemic (as you know she's not one to look on the bright side of things) hopped into her big new truck and drove over to see some old friends.

After a nice long afternoon of catching up, where they told her a terrifying story about when a few nights ago a huge scary possum broke into the coop and was about to devour them all. But just in the nick of time their friendly neighbor Uncle Jorn, alerted by the racket, came over to save them. As she headed back to the truck to go home they all went to the top of the stairs to say goodby. Everyone then paraded back to the coop.

The End

Hah! That's great. Mostly they just think of me as an opportunity for birdseed I am afraid.

Star of our little succulent garden this year pumping out the flowers(lots on the plant still unopened), since this is a one photo a day thread I'll post a flower close up tomorrow.

Fingers crossed.

Not my photo just grateful for what I have at the moment.

I know that "Well, things can't be that bad for me, because there's always someone worse off out there" isn't the correct way to get through life's rough patches, but sometimes I can't help but think of James Nachtwey's book "Inferno" and the nightmarish things he's documented there.

Follow up to my post here yesterday, close up of flower on the succulent, sorry I don't have the botanical name for it.

They are loosely known as orchid cacti, but they can be a Disocactus or an Epiphyllum hybrid. This one looks like a hybrid. We had a climbing version on our porch in Arizona that used a Bougainvillea for its ladder. Some bloom at night and are a favorite of bats.

Trout lily. Erythronium americanum. We saw the leaves earlier in the spring, and there were so many of them, we thought "That can't possibly be trout lily." But it is. So by the weekend there will be a bit more yellow along the stream.
