Well, how is _that_ for St. Patrick's Day?!

Seen outside a Starbucks in the greater Seattle area.

Angry little junco. Flew off as soon as he saw me.

This 5x7 watercolor painting Crow Friend is still available! It was painted on aquabord which is a hard surface with a ground on it.

RIP to Slick Watts, an incredible representative of Sonics Basketball. My favorite Slick memory is my brother looking for a 4th person to play some 2 on 2 with a couple of friends at the Puyallup fair and Slick volunteered. Super cool for a local legend to play with some middle schoolers.

Anyone got any recommendations for contractors for doing bathroom remodeling in the Seattle area? I swear i've emailed like 16-17 - only had 2 responses and their bids were so wildly differring that my brain is frying - 35k for one 80k for another.

This lovely watercolor painting of a blue tinted crow is still available! It is painted on hard 6x6 aquabord.

Okay i live in #seattle now lets hang

We officially started spring planting today. Managed to get kinnikinnick (x2), English Thyme (x2), a Blue Bog Ice Rosemary, and periwinkle (x6) plants in the ground, plus sowed seed for general wildflowers (in the parking strip), Danish yarrow and California poppies. But best of all: this year I got to transplant a volunteer lavender plant that's been growing in the garden path I've been waiting two years to do this! I wanted her to be strong! I hope she makes it.

Another watercolor bird. Junco i think?

Today in Feral Cats: I saw a woman loading a cat trap into her car, and asked if she was trapping. And she was! She was from Alley Cats! And it turns that our local Gray Kitty (aka Graybird) has been relocated to a feral cat sanctuary! Which is a relief tbh, because we noticed his fur matting up, which is a sign that a cat is getting older. They're also trying to trap the other locals, so I guess our faves have their days numbered. But in a good way!

Got a new watercolor sketchbook off etsy from @lonettaavelardesigns and decided it will be all birds so heres a crow

Dinner will be slightly late because *checks card* a flash flood nearly trashed our below street level garage.

We got there before it did though. Extra lesson: sewer caps are hard to open in an emergency, especially when the water is ice cold.

DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/

In unsurprising news about the mayor of #Seattle: https://www.kuow.org/stories/monisha-harrell-breaks-silence-on-her-uncle-and-former-boss-seattle-mayor-bruce-harrell

anyone in the #seattle area know of a doctor that can diagnose whether someone has #ehlersdanlos ? just became aware of someone a couple degrees removed from me describing a bunch of symptoms that sound like it & would like to give them a resource.
