Coleus are so much fun. “Here, I made you some new plants, overnight, for fun while you were sleeping. Also, LOOKIT all the colors!!”

**S.M.** had some kind of brain fart the other night and told us all that this Sunday (today) was time change.

I … 🤨 had some thinks, padded over to the wall paper calendar, double-checked because I don’t fully trust my own brain, and then had to gently set her right on that one.

For the record: Autumn equinox is not the same thing as the Daylight Savings switcheroo. They’re not even related.

(I mean, I dunno, maybe they show up at the same family reunion.)

1a.) If you’ve liked it for a while, and still want it, it’s a good buy.

2b.) Pics, so we can admire along with you?

But you _thought_ it loudly, and that’s all that matters. 🙂

It’s all fun and games, until …

Aww, that’s one of my favorite scenes in “Young Sheldon” when the dad takes his young daughter out for her idea of a fancy dinner. Both dressed UP - she goes full on princess, including a tiara and wand.

There’s a thread in Cafe Society you may wanna stay out of for now.

Hoo boy, the “steak judgers” vs. the “how dare you judge” vs the “everyone can eat whatever they like, except the barbarians who eat XYZ, now _there’s_ some nonsense” argument was on a roll as of last night.

Heh. On a roll.

Maybe with honey-cinnamon butter.
