Is Teak's birthday! He is 29. His mother and our other mare both made it past 30. I do have pictures of him on his actual birth day, but only as prints.

Cultured: How Ancient Foods Can Feed Our Microbiome, by Katherine Harmon Courage, made me want to grow Jerusalem artichokes. Courage argues that we evolved to eat lots of fiber, and lots of different kinds of fiber; and Jerusalem artichokes contain a kind that is particularly good for our metabolism.

I read that they were prone to spread and hard to get rid of, so I wanted to plant them in a container. many pictures of the process behind the cut )

I haven't finished reading anything since last week. I'm watching Dispatches From Elsewhere, which is a delight.

Colorado is now under a stay-at-home order. I have food, and dog food, and at least a couple weeks of all of Newt's and my prescriptions.

I had a really good time at Wiscon. I'm just now getting over the tired. Yesterday and the day before, every time I sat down in front of the computer I'd discover that my eyes were crossing and I had to go back to bed.

[personal profile] kalmn had asked for some pictures of me with Newt, to give to her son, so that when he asked "where's Newt?" she could point to the picture and remind him that Newt lives with Susan-you-met-at-Wiscon. I'm not going to post any of those because they are terrible but here are a couple of Newt in his new environment.

I am not holding a treat. This is how he looks at me ALL THE TIME.

This time I am holding a treat, since I want both dogs to look at the camera at the same time.

Here is actually the best picture I've managed to take of Aiko. He isn't very good at holding still, especially when you are pointing something at him.

He is as sweet as he is beautiful. Aged two-and-a-half, he's still a puppy. He chews things. But he's so lovable, only Kitsu can bear to scold him.
