I’m really pleased with this, my first lattice crust pie. (I’d be more pleased if it were homemade pie crust but my rolling pin is in parts unknown.)

No scurvy in this household! (I maybe misjudged sizes in my curbside order (really, in the allowed substitutions, since that was meant to be a little bag of mandarins))

He’s in his travel cage in the kitchen (on a surface where there is no food prep happening, and we don’t use nonstick), and apparently that means bath time!

Does anyone want to identify this cool mushroom I found in the woods in western NY?

Great news: faux pecan pie with pretzels is nearly indistinguishable from the original!

Important Pittsburgh-area news!

(I bet they freeze pretty well, y'all.)

The squirrels at Ontario Beach Park will walk right up to you and shake you down for anything edible you might be carrying.

Went out and saw a bit of Rochester today. Mostly only got photos of roses and squirrels, though 😂

Whoo, GCCs’ beaks are bigger and more powerful than cockatiels’, so we just had a scare, trying to find the amethyst that perfectly fit into a little beak (because it would be very bad for him to swallow it).

But all is well. (Except this ring, it’ll never be the same, lol)

Im also being super normal with my cousin (redacted name is of my abusive ex step father, not to be confused with my dad’s husband who was a delight)

Offering him a bath (in a bowl where it would be comfortable) seems to have prompted him to take a bath (in his water bowl, which is a little too small for the purpose, but he made do)

I’d really like for him to stop over-preening; fingers crossed that this solves it

A baby is all packed up for his big vet checkup. I’m gonna owe him so much millet
