This is all I’ve got today. Love to all. Hope wears thin.

This Independence Day, we celebrate the farm workers who help feed our nation every day. We honor their ongoing fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, and dignity. #July4

Remembrance of things past…”A Lesson Deferred” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/07/a-le... Village Green/Town² blog - - *Was* it so much better then?

Too hot to go out. Too hot to ask anyone to deliver. I either have a date with the freezer or the pantry shelf.

What if art just moved into the neighborhood? “F ³: In a Roundabout Way” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/07/f-in... Village Green/Town² blog - - Are you ready for some ‘guerilla’ free form fun?

Early bird pricing is still available for our Summer Jam and Legacy Gala! www.eventbrite.com/e/baltimore-...

I cheered for you when you mastered sourdough bread, admired your perfect heirloom tomatoes…but nothing makes me happier than making and harvesting my very own ice cubes, thanks to a generous loan from a friend. ❤️

I will be launching the shop on here TONIGHT in two hours at around 9PM ET, so if you have ever wanted your very own little felted frog with his own tiny comic, have I got good news (unless you wanted the pink Frogby in this photo, that Frogby is going off on an adventure already and has sold!)

Baltimore City friends, is trash pickup still on for Friday July 3rd? I know they didn’t pickup recycling because of the extreme heat.

Small business advert: All Things Removed - - 30% OFF Junk Removal (Women & Seniors).

Why can you post gifs but not photos on the County Exec’s FB page? Also, is there a way I can turn this into a gif?

Live from the Comfy Chair: I’ll be here until six, folks. These are My Plans.

What’s in *your* Happy Meal, Columbia/HoCo? “The Adult Zone” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-... Village Green/Town² blog - - Adultiness redux.

Don’t ask me if I have plans for this weekend. I stopped having plans on February 14th.

June Monthly review; Upcoming stuff, stuff I did, stuff I made. Stuff! open.substack.com/pub/adrienne...

So what if we checked men’s sperm upon entering the country? If it’s viable then clearly they’re a risk, right?

It's ALIVE!!!!! Start bidding -- especially after yesterday's SCOTUS rulings. www.32auctions.com/organization...

People living in this city are often told who they are, often by people who haven’t bothered to learn anything about them. At Baltimore Beat, we know that our job isn’t just to educate — it’s to listen to and amplify the people who are already here. baltimorebeat.com/2025-impact-...

Love and devotion: to what ? “American Patriots” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/07/amer... Village Green/Town² blog - - This I believe.

Hunkering? “The Hot Stuff and a Cool Story” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-... Village Green/Town² blog - - The heat wave cometh.

As I start up things with the shop, the frogs will only ship to the US for now, I don't want to get out over my skis with this whole shop venture before I've even gotten started. I will, however, be taking some felt commissions & will work with people to ship those internationally, so stay tuned.

Frogby Shop update! You can sign up for my newsletter to get notified when my shop will open will all my little felted creatures. It will be launching soon and I'll be sharing it with my subscribers first. lettersfromfrogby.beehiiv.com

Good morning!

Seen around town. “Living the Wild Life” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/06/livi... Village Green/Town² blog - - Okay, no lions or tigers (or even escaped zebras) but, still…

Home. Too tired to get out of the car.

A very nice article in The Capital about Paul, the other survivors, their families, and the victims' families continuing to heal on the eighth anniversary of the shooting. (1/3) www.capitalgazette.com/2026/06/28/c...

Really can’t stress this enough

Husband managed to get the Maryland Mosaic choir to sing in his Lutheran church this morning and this is a good thing.

Here’s a better question… Can workers at the restaurants grocery stores and shops Afford to live in the places they serve?

If you are encountering the Wall of Awful™ you are, at least partially, emotionally dysregulated.

If you feel unwell in the heat: stop, find shade, drink water. Get help if you don't improve. If someone near you looks unwell, do not leave them alone. Move them to shade and call for help. Heatstroke is an emergency. Act fast. #BeatTheHeat

MIL trying to decipher what she can make out of the online weather report and describes one day as having a “Harry Potter mark”. 🤦🏼‍♀️

How are the roads looking? “Hyperlocal” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/06/hype... Village Green/Town² blog - - some Columbia/HoCo-centric bits and pieces this morning.

As always, today is a good day to support writers, artists, creators. If you have the means, buy a book, commission an art piece, go to a live show, subscribe to a Patreon, support an indie game. You can also leave a review, signal boost a creator's work, send a nice comment. Everything helps.

FB has figured out that I want a countertop ice machine. It has not figured out that I want an *affordable* one. 🤨

We had SUCH great tour groups this week! So many good questions. Folks today were absolute champs at dealing with the crowds and the time crunch. Y'all are the best 🧡🧡🧡

Better late than never. villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/06/this...

Honestly the whole thing is full of bangers. "Mass injury and death may not be intentional, taken at the level of individual drivers. But they are a structural feature of automotive forms of life, not a bug."

This is what I need!

It’s feeling like a no blog day. I’ll keep you posted.

“Waiting for Access” this weekend in Silver Spring.

Husband: sends pic with pal and 2 unknown women. Me: who are those people? Husband: oh, those are the Free Mom Hugs ladies. Me: You can get free mom hugs at home.

It’s my husband, of course! I would never brag on myself like that. 😳

Devotion is heading out to Orioles Pride Night wearing the Pride giveaway shirt from last year. ❤️

Calling all #skystorians. Help a lady out. Do public history.

Stop using God to justify cruelty.

Feeble Flailing Friday? Flattened Fatigued Friday? “F ³: Empty Bucket” villagegreentownsquared.blogspot.com/2026/06/f-empty-bucket.html Village Green/Town² blog - - possibly out of F ³ “F”s this week.

Today's Awesome: Alex and I turned in the rough draft for workbook that will accompany "Overcoming the Wall of Awful". (Did you know there was going to be a workbook, too? Pretty exciting! It'll drop in February of next year.) www.TheWallofAwful.com
