Thanks to anyone who decides to follow this account.

I have a habit of responding to all who do so, but this is a second account, and I may mess up when trying to determine who is a new follower and who is "also" following after connecting by way of my mastodon.cloud account.

It is not my intent to litter myself all over the fediverse. I will see how things go. I've made connections with several others on mastodon.art and think I'll feel at home here while NOT restricting my toots to artistic attempts. It looks like the instance won't generally mind.

Words have art in them, too.

Good luck to all of us.

Strength to the fediverse through the efforts of individuals.

Is "smallamy" a lesser crime than bigamy?

This time of year, summer and fall blooms are abundant, especially when there's been some rain after weeks of dry weather.

Thanks for tolerating the bunches of blooms this week!

Weed/Wildflower Wednesday

This week: Common Evening Primrose

Tall and gangly plants are sometimes intentionally planted, but grow unintended plenty of times.

Weed/Wildflower Wednesday

This week: Sourgrass

This weedy plant with clover-like leaves blooms all through the summer months in spite of being cut back by mowing the lawn.

There's more crabgrass here than some will tolerate in a lawn, too.

Weed/Wildflower Wednesday

This week: Pokeweed has almost black berries later in the season which can be used to make a dye or even used to make an ink for quill pen writing.
Berries are toxic to humans but many birds eat them.

Common on roadsides.

You can accuse me of trying to butter you up, if you wish.

Cat home from getting hydration treatment under the skin. No running around for her today.

@eredondo

Thanks for the reciprocal connection.

If future foolishness becomes too much to bear,
Drop away and cut from my share.
It' won't be that I don't care.
But, for Home, you choose what's there.

I've nothing to share.
Not that you need to care.

adviser
(also advisor)

/ədˈvaɪzər//ədˈvīzər/
noun
1 A person who gives advice in a particular field.
1.1 North American (in a school, college, or university) a teacher or staff counselor who helps a student plan a course of study.

Usage
Adviser and advisor are both correct. Adviser may be seen as less formal. Advisor often suggests an official position.

I visited the university and consulted with my advisor. She offered the recommendation that I consider a career in plumbing.

The words, they clamor in my head.
Sometimes even filling me with dread.
Perchance they slip and slide.
In spirals and swoops they glide.
The upshot usually is
That I cannot keep them buried inside.

Earthquake

A jolt, a shift
Occurs along a rift.
Sometimes a drop
Or even a lift.

It's Earth's gestalt
From norm to alt
Just remember, friends,
If you live along a fault!

At the end, it was a beginning
I came through death grinning.
To see old friends again
Is the best definition of winning.
