The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 26 is "relentless" (suggested by @poetalegre). I can’t think of anything more relentless around the homestead than bamboo. I recently cut this grove to the ground, and it keeps on sprouting new stalks. 📷 #mbaug

Let’s play What’s It Wednesday again. What do you think this is? #WhatsItWednesday

Today is the three year anniversary of adopting Paladin. Here is a video from three years ago today. After meeting and falling in love with Paladin at the cat shelter, he was cutely vocal in wanting to come home with us. 📹🐈

On the homestead blog: the ducklings are two weeks old today. They’ve grown a lot already, but still have several more weeks of growth ahead of them before they can join the ducks in the pond. 🦆

Another duckling video: the new two-week-old ducklings have quickly become enthused at going in the paint tray pool. This is the morning of their second day with the pool, with all of them in it at once. 📹🦆

CGP Grey just posted a couple of videos, one of them with an excellent productivity suggestion: Weekend Wednesday. Instead of five days on, two days off, he suggests two days on, Wednesday off, three days on, Sunday off. I think I’ll try it.

The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 25 is "hope" (suggested by maique). This morning I tried to hand-feed leafy treats to the ducklings for the first time, with a hope that they’d take it. Spoiler: they did (more in tonight’s duckling post). 📷 #mbaug

On the homestead blog: today I swapped out the waterer for the full-sized one, removed the duckling feeder, introduced them to the paint tray pool, and to leafy treats. An exciting day for ducklings! 🦆

A video on my YouTube channel: today I introduced the latest ducklings to leafy treats, which they immediately loved. 📹🦆

Techmeme Ride Home podcast 📡#MediaMonday

2020-08-24 · podcast

A daily tech news podcast, around 15 minutes, with free ad-supported or paid ad-free editions (I prefer the latter). They cover all kinds of tech, not just Apple.

The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 24 is "frosty" (suggested by @canion). It isn’t frosty weather here at present, so searching my photo archive revealed this frosty beverage with a foldable straw from our trip to Mexico last year (remember travel?). 📷 #mbaug

Flower of the day: it’s been a while since I posted a daylily, but while they are becoming less prolific, they’re still popping up. 🌱

On the homestead blog: today the ducklings figured out the feeder tube; hard to believe that they’re already big enough to reach it. Check out a couple of GIFs of them eating from the tube! 🦆

The Micro.blog photo challenge word for day 22 is "home" (suggested by @gregmoore), which fits well with today's Caturday post, featuring Porcini, who is a bit of a home-body for a feral cat. 📷🐈 #mbaug
