My new neighbor just told me that she saw my article in our local paper about mosquito buckets and is making them for her yard. #mosquitoes #swarthmore

But first, needed to walk to nearby grocery store to buy a malbec. Opted for the San Uberto 2024 because it was the cheapest. But also got a bottle of Cordero Con Piel De Lobo 2025 for me, not the flies, because I liked the label. #wine #swarthmore #alcohol
Chicken, mushrooms, brie, avocado, pesto, and herbs de Provence on a grilled ciabatta. It's a recreation of my favorite sandwich at Chez Yasmine, a Philadelphia-based food truck that sometimes came to Swarthmore during the summer. The chef, Jihed Chehimi, was a former scientist. #sandwich #food #philadelphia #swarthmore
I gave away some fig treelets yesterday and boy did they go fast. If you have one that gets pruned I urge you to do the same: just throw the stems in a bin, cover with moist sand, and ignore in your basement during the winter. In the spring, just pot them up. Easy peasy. #figs #ficus #plants #gardening #swarthmore
My local arboretum had a plant swap for members and I scored four perennials and a bunch of seed packets from Burpee. It was a mob scene, with numbered admittance so that nobody got into fights about being first. My contribution was nine fig trees, and they went fast, I think. #swarthmore #garden #arboretum #gardening #flowers #plants
