An Amish quilt with a big bold blue and black star in the center. It’s surrounded by blocks made up of tiny scraps of red and orange and black and purple and green and a little yellow. Each block is made up of multiple sections of scraps sewn together. Then there’s a thin medium blue border and a faded black border.

@jessamyn Happy birthday, Jessamyn! I send sweet little tiny backyard flowers that showed up by surprise in some planters outside my door. Down the steps is the deck where we'd sit and eat something delicious together to celebrate if you were here. 💖

Two back deck railing planters full of ferns with a little strand of tiny flowers coming out of one planter. The railing of stairs going down is visible beyond a white outdoor table with little holes in it like pegboard. Blue sky is visible past the side of the neighboring house and between the stairs up to a higher deck. All the wood is of the wall and railings is painted pale lichen green.

My hand supporting one of the tiny little flowers, small as a fingernail. They are shaped little like a cartoon duck foot, three curved lower part, with one upper part small as one of the curves, and a open mouth like a very shallow snapdragon between. The stem is bare with a single flower on its own branch and then five lobed leaves that look like a clover hoping to be a trefoil. The fern is visible in the background.

@jessamyn I’m into trains and I have friends which know this and will occasionally ask me questions about rail infrastructure. I was sent this photo as one of my friend’s was on a work trip in country NSW, Australia.

A screenshot of a photo someone sent to me: A semaphore rail signal in NSW Australia protecting a set of facing points on an otherwise very straight section of track. There is quite a bit of grass growing between the tracks indicating that the line may be disused (as if a semaphore signal in 2024 isn’t enough evidence if that). There are quite a few trees off to the side of the rail corridor.

@thewetmale that is cool looking. We have a train that runs through the middle of town and one of the neighbors around the corner from me has the old semaphore signals up in his yard.

@jessamyn happy (belated) birthday!

Here’s some favorites from around Reykjavík

Hallgrímskirkja on a gloomy day in black and white. Some tourists can be seen out front as well as a statue of Lief Eriksson.

The pink house on Öldugata at night with an orange-ish Hyundai van parked out front

Mt. Esja seen on a beautiful blue sky day across the water

My favorite Reykjavík street art, a wall with the word GREYKJAVIK on it and the city scape painted in the letters

Thank you for all the birthday pictures of various things. I had a really calm birthday here: go to work, porch time, post office visit, walk with friend, errands, reported a bug with a walk-tracking app, transferred my librarian.net domain, helped a friend troubleshoot her Apple watch to figure out why it texted me thirty times, figured out how to get my free birthday candy bar out of the gas station app. You know, the usual.

@jessamyn I am late but happy birthday! (Was thinking of you yesterday because I was talking to an Olin librarian about reserves for my course and she also encouraged me to go to the Mass Book Awards Ceremony at the state house next month, even though it conflicts with my class).

@jessamyn Oh my goodness, a VERY happy belated birthday! So glad you had a good day; Lily and Olive are just delighted to hear it. (As are their minders! 💕🎂🎉)

This is the Alewife Brook, which just had a major clean-up. Can't wait to go back and see the difference!

@mikeloukides Yeah Cumberland Farms is a local gas/convenience store chain and they have an app that metes out occasional "rewards" like that. It's the closest/cheapest gas to me and with the app it's 10 cents cheaper so I've become an "I have a gas app" person which is wild but seems to mostly work.
