I thought I knew the songs and calls of the Black-capped Chickadee.

Wrong. I learned two new ones this week, listening to the birds in the yard.

Updates about last night's tornados in southwest Michigan:

"Injuries, emergency officials said, included at least 20 people who were taken to hospitals and destruction to 176 homes in Kalamazoo County alone, a FedEx facility, and damage to other buildings in Portage and in St. Joseph and Branch counties."

I shared some of my extra tarragon and chives plants with two neighbors. The tarragon seeds germinated well. And I needed to split the chives.

Both neighbors asked me how to use/cook with them, since they hadn't used them in their cooking. So I shared some of my recipes as well.

Happy to announce that Scribbles (https://scribbles.page) is now open for registration 🥳 Blog post announcing it properly as the week progresses.

Really couldn't be here without all the early adopters! Thank you so very much for all your feedback ✌️❤️

@vincentritter This looks interesting! I've been looking for an alternative to WordPress to recommend to folks who want to start publishing blog posts.

Will your blog post announcement include features Scribbles has?

I found your post about exports (hoping you still have plans to add Markdown export). I'm curious if Scribbles supports alt text for images?

Yay! Glad they're coming back to Detroit.

I was so disappointed when Detroit Public TV moved 20 years ago from the New Center area to Wixom.

Detroit Public TV returns to its roots, moving headquarters back to Detroit, in the Milwaukee Junction neighborhood.

What recommendations do you have for protecting broccoli from cabbage moth/butterflies?

@shekinahcancook Thank you. I've never heard of that. When do you start spraying? And how often do you spray? (I'm in southeast Michigan, zone 6b.)
