I just happened to take a picture of it this morning. She chomped it about 5 min ago. I’m in Dennis, MA and my backyard is lots of brambles and is near an old bog. There was lots of black around the grass at the base, like it was inky. I’m off to the supermarket to get peanut butter and hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting…
I’m sorry but Andy’s excitement is contagious. And the self-deprecating jingles for each section!
A knitting Jenny!
First pic is her intake photo at the Queens Animal Care Center in June. 2nd pic is a mere 4 hours after I signed the papers to take her home including a 70 minute drive through NYC. Meet MARTHA. (neé Miia)
After a 70 min car ride, 2 walkies, and 1 petco trip, here she is. Meet MARTHA. 5 years old (we think) obviously had a bunch of litters, 82 pounds (chonky) and approaching her 100th day at the shelter. She is such a sweet girl.
I mean, these look a lot like what my trumpet mushrooms look like when I’ve dehydrated them…. Anyway, these smell amazing. And all of the trumpets are like this - I’ve come across 3 patches so far today, and all of them too well-done.
Any crafts or ideas to use this yummy smell? Can I even use them for anything? (Bug-free and still soft and rippable)
You have to pay for all the rehab, plus rent, but you only get a 10 year lease….
Does anyone know where this has been done before? Just wondering who would apply for this sort of grant.
I'm new at this, and am not sure how to proceed. It doesn't change much color-wise when bruised. I found it in what I think is a pine forest (or spruce... it's definitely conifers) but also some maples in there. Near, but not in, a swamp. Both the Boletus edulis and the Boletus aurantioruber have an "olive-brown" spore print color, so is it worth doing a spore print? The book I'm using says both kinds have a pore surface which is "white when young". Boletus aurantioruber's pore surface becomes "pale yellow to pale lemon-yellow" whereas the edulis becomes "yellow to olive-yellow" Pore surface looks white. The stalk is 5" tall, cap is 3.25" in diameter.and and the cap is
I tried the mushroom ID subreddits and looked it up in the “Mushrooms of Cape Cod” book, both with no luck. Found yesterday on a conservation trail. Anyone have any guesses?
I counted 413 mushrooms on my hike today!(not unique ones, I mean in total.)
I took some iPhone photos and found most of them in my copy of “Mushrooms of Cape Cod” but there was nothing that looked like this.
These three were the only ones I saw, in forest, growing out of dead wood.
Sorry I couldn’t get better photos of underneath — I didn’t want to pluck it in case some Proper Mushroom Forager came along and valued it.
Thanks!
I need to get my legs working on a hike, but in all the hiking books I can find the the only trails that are considered “moderate” or above are dune or sand based.
Anybody know of decent mid-Cape hikes that maybe have some elevation that are on dirt?
I’m by no means an athlete, just looking for something a bit more than all the flat trails.
This is a long shot, but anyone know where I can find fabric scraps? I don’t mean remnants, I’m talking about stuff not even good enough for remnants.
A lot of church thrift stores used to have a section for them. You know the kind of thrift stores that sell everything? The kind that have used dress patterns, old greeting cards, etc, etc.
Anyone have leads on a place that might sell scraps? Thanks!
So this has only happened twice in my 11 years teaching. You pretty strongly suspect a student has some sort of learning challenge but they aren’t working with the office of Accessibility.
I can’t very well say “Hey kid, you don’t seem like the other kids”. And I know for a fact that this student isn’t working with the office because after class they asked for more time on a quiz they didn’t finish and I said “Sorry, I can only do that if you have an accommodation. Do you… work with Office of Accommodations?” and they said no.
Here’s what makes me suspect some sort of disability:
• handwriting - I have never, ever, ever seen such handwriting. When I say that it’s worse than a first grader’s, I’m not exaggerating. It’s huge and horrible.
• emails - literally puts the whole email in the subject line. This isn’t a “shortcut”. They start with Dear Professor, wrote the whole email and then signs off with Thank you, Student
• in-class behavior - laughs to themselves sometimes? Like… 4 times per class (2.5 hours)
• can’t keep up cognitively - ever the other students have noticed this student isn’t at their speed. Their groupmates came to speak to me about how they can’t get through to this student and no matter how many times they explain things to them, the student still doesn’t get it.
I’ve tried giving her extra instruction but their eyes just kind of trail off. You can see it’s not registering.
Now, I’m at a CC, so I’ve seen a huge range of incoming skill sets. Also, I’ve seen some students get past high school when they clearly shouldn’t. That might be what happened here. They thought “finding the average” meant take all your grades and divide by four. I don’t know why.
They also mistake instructions all the time.
But this student is really frustrated. I should also point out that this is the student’s first semester. A mistake to make a summer intensive your first semester, but that’s another thing.
How would folks handle this?
I usually use US harbors tide charts and find them to be accurate.
When I'm looking for exact tides I usually go with them, but they don't have specific areas, like on the North Side between Dennis and Wellfleet.
Yes, I know it's usually just a matter of 15 minutes or so, but sometimes I like to be detailed.
So, when usharbors doesn't have the info, where should I look?
For instance, this is what the various sites say for 1st low tide at First Encounter, on July 9:
• Willyweather (which I want to boycott based on their name alone): 12:45 am / 0.72ft
• Tideschart: 1:00 am / 0.2ft
• Seatemperature.info: 12:39am / .39ft
• TideKing: 1:00am / .2ft
Anyone have a favorite online chart that's accurate? Or know of any handy math? (Like "Mill Pond is always X minutes earlier than this other place"?)
So sad— might have to color-strip it again or embroider it. But I thought maybe I could try to re-dye this section?
When it was color-stripped (with Rit) I couldn’t see a single difference between the now-stained area and the rest of the fabric.
• Material is 100% cotton
• Dye is Olive iDye
• Used stovetop method.
Any advice?
I can't even do the easiest beginner Kratky! I truly have the ungreenest thumb.
SEED: "Salad Bowl Green Leaf Lettuce" from True Leaf.
MATERIAL: "Potting Soil for All Plants" (bought in a shop)
CONTAINER: various, but they're all over a 1/2 gallon
NUTRIENTS: Maxi-grow 10-5-14
PH: 5.5 - 6
So, here's what I did..
Put some potting soil in the cup, put seeds in, put some more soil on top, moistened it. Then covered it in a humidity dome for a few days. I literally can't remember if I did blackout or not! I think I did for maybe one or two days.
Anyway, they're on an East-facing windowsill.
The roots are.... sad-looking. (see last picture) I know the seeds are okay because I did microgreens with them and got lovely roots.
So is the leggy-ness of this lettuce due to..
Thanks in advance. I love looking at everybody else's amazing stuff.
A) outgoing prof who used it
B) incoming prof who will be using it
Because I always erase the board and have to get on a chair to erase the math left by a previous prof. (The chalkboard is huge, I’m short, and whoever the prof is covers every inch of it.)
But before I contact the prof to ask them to erase it going forward, I thought I’d check in to see if perhaps there’s a consensus that it’s on the incoming prof to erase.
So I’m interested on folks’ thoughts
