Good boy. #doomscrollbreak #kitten #timelinecleanse

My orange kitten was laying down on a white blanket in front of me with a tissue box behind him.

The whole futon was covered in a a yellow sheet.

In case anyone needs one? Here's a Timeline Cleanser. A faithful return visitor since I-forget-what-year I initially planted these out front. #DoomscrollBreak 🌱 🌿 📷

Color digital photo taken just before 6:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time on June 29, 2025 in a sunny front yard in New England. The focus is of a fully in open petaled glory yellow Rudbeckia almost dead center snapped directly above the main stem of the plant. A few buds with in various early stages of unfurling are present at varied distances from the main bloom, as are their thin green leaves. On the right center edge, the lower portion of a black welly rain boot cuts into the mostly shades of greens and yellows of various lower level grasses and other plants on the sloped lawn. On the left edge, a few leaves of very young sapling are present. One of them has a ruddier than green appearance compared to the rest present.

Timeline cleanse for our interesting times. Volunteer native, Spiraea alba aka white meadowsweet, with bonus pollinators of various types. Apologies for the blur, but the breeze was stubborn about existing and I still haven't been able to get a better camera yet.😅 #DoomscrollBreak 🌱 🌿 📷

Color digital photo taken in late morning Eastern Daylight Time on July 2, 2025 in a sunny front yard in New England. In the foreground, a gentle breeze is the cause of a bit of blur of the three stems in various stages of bloom of white meadowsweet, Spiraea alba. Several types of pollinators, also blurred to various degrees, are busy as work on the bits of the soft white flowers that are in full bloom. The easiest of the pollinators to identify is a bumblebee that is native to New England on the leftmost flowering stem. In the even more out of focus background behind the stems, the edge of a faded green plastic bin with brown plant matter takes up most of the lower edge. The rest is various stems and grasses ranging from soft tan to mid greens. Between the center and the rightmost meadowsweet stems, a compostable pot is near the upper edge of the image. Given the background blur, it is impossible to tell what is sprouting within the pot, if anything.

Did you take a #DoomscrollBreak today? I'll be taking mine shortly after posting this. May your day be better than mine. *looks woefully at remnants still to be cleaned of a disastrous tea spill* Lady Sylvie's Gotchaversary was also MLK's observed birthday in 2019--Jan 21st! #Caturday

Interior photo taken on January 19, 2019 of an all white cat curled upon a white cover on a wood four poster bed. An open backed wood bench faces away from the bed it abuts. The lower bits of a few other typical bedroom furniture pieces made of wood that rest upon a wall to wall light blue carpet line the top of the image. The cat's head is raised and turned to the photographer out of frame.

Did you take a #DoomscrollBreak today? I'll be taking mine shortly after posting this. My office window view earlier today. There's still few birds though I was relieved yesterday to see squirrels crossing the yard in their usual way--via the back tree line "elevated highway". 🌱 #Gardening 🌿

Exterior photo of a backyard in New England taken on January 14, 2024 though a south facing window. The west corner of a bulky exit covering is along the left edge. Coated wire hangs acts as a trellis for mostly leafless woody stems of bittersweet. Some vines that grew taller than the trellis reach outwards, others are supported by a few clusters of heavily ruddy fruited vines that have curled either loosely or rather tight. Two such outreaching are fruit free just below the top of the image. One almost reaches the right edge of the image, another curves downward just short of the other. A cluster of spent common milkweed stalks with their seedpods still attached are a bit to the right and barely set back from the cascaded vines. Light tan spent goldenrod stalks with wispy bits of seedy tops reach from the lower right edge towards the milkweed. A few feet behind the goldenrod are a few young oak saplings, with curled brown leaves still clinging to their branches. There is light snow cover on the ground which is dotted with a myriad of previous year's plants that are had clumped or grew in dense groupings which make gentle lumps or have broken through, contrasting against the still white snow. Soft blue shadows both dapple near the seen vegetation as well as appear as broad strokes reaching from the treeline along the western border rockwall topped with a variety of deciduous bushes ending in a dense Japanese barberry. Some of the longer tree trunk shadows have no end in sight as they duck behind the bulky exit. Just left of center half way up the image, a wooden trellis that has been let down for winter stands out due to its seemingly inorganic skelton compared to the curves of all the wintering vegetation. A line of deciduous trees form the south-most edge of the property. A few hard to make out bits in other backyards in the distance are below a light blue sky heavily masked by an incomplete white wall of clouds that break up in clusters the higher they are.

www.npr.org

Farmers are abandoning their land. Is that good for nature?

Traditional farmers around the world are walking away from millions of acres of land where they once grew crops or grazed animals. It's provoking mixed reactions.
