Lil' nimjeh yelling git off mah propertah at wasps trying to nests under my eaves. *waves tineh hose* I keeps blasting 'em down.

Gary the gnome is the keeper of the hummingbird feeder for lil' nimjeh. *Steven the unicorm laps water out of the squirrel bath* It's hawt day.

Beautiful day. The crows are getting busy. Lil' nimjeh trwied to give them privacy, but they was loud and nearly fell out of teh tree.

Today lil' nimjeh's fountain got delivered. Finally gots a place to display my trweasures. The rocks that came with it were dumb.

Yay my Siberian chives came. Took them forever to get through customs 'n get here. Gots them planted 'n hanging out on lil'nimjeh's tineh picnic bench.

Slowly, but surely tending to lil'neglected Japan maple. Gave it a trim so can see trunk. Lil' nimjeh actually short enough I can stand underneath it at full height.

Got chicken thighs, hotdogs. Onions, tomatoes and mushrooms. They gots the wrong sort of tomatoes, dissolved into sauce. Romas for grilling. Also tofu. Cabbage 'n peppers still on grill. All ingredients for other fings

My red huckleberry is loving life in the pit.

The Roman chamomile is going crazy. I fink I'm going to let Cleaning Nimjeh dig it up for her garden. Needs occasional mowing to look it's best. It's technically edible. Tastes disgusting as tea. Going to plant pineapple chamomile. It grows anywhere and tastes delicious as tea.

Gary the gnome is doing his job well, guarding the raspberry. The floppiest raspberry plant ever now has flowers. The cage for it is coming. Just taking forever.

Gots kolrabi,radishes, celeriac 'n carrots. The carrots teeny.

Lil' nimjeh cleaned grill. Gots wood chips soaking. Refoiled the stone that goes inside grill. Currently using it to press firm tofu. Got chicken thighs, kosher hot dogs, tofu 'n veggies for the grill.

Found out what's nomming the dill. Slugs. Picked off 5 tiny slugs 'n chucked 'em on rocks. Then set up a beer trap. Used one of Brother Nimjeh's piss water beerz. His ADHD butt keeps leaving a can open in the fridge 2/3rds of it drunk to go flat. So actually good environment to replenish my trwap.

Rwepaired the squirrel bath. It had developed multiple cracks 'n wouldn't hold water.

One of the good things about Brother Nimjeh living wid me is he been going over to auntie 'n uncle's to do heavy manual labor. Today it's rwepairing their back fence.

This is why everybody lubs Uncle Nimjeh! *waves sammich* He brought me a turkey sammich because he was out grabbing him and Brother Nimjeh some lunch!

Teh pit is doing it's job protecting my red huckleberry. It's tineh now, but it seems happy. It's got pine needles and twigs around it. Red huckle berries usually grow in forests. It loves rotting wood around it. It doesn't like being too dry so summer is when it'll be really tested.

This thing is a hawt mess. Floppiest raspberry ever. Also the limbs snap so easy 'n face plants after a rain. Going to get it a dopey ass tomato cage.

Just planted my fernleaf dill. It's dwarf dill that is only supposed to grow 24 inches at teh tallest. Great for tineh gardens. Hoping it reseeds itself.

Borrowing rusty fing from Auntie Nimjeh to grow my Mexican sour gherkins. Today was Uncle Nimjeh's seeing eye nimjeh grocery shopping 'n Auntie Nimjeh's emotional support nimjeh while we got bid on fixing teh sump pump...

Squirrel hasing a hissy fit in the big tree.

After 3 years of renovations from me living there then almost two years of work from when Auntie Nimjeh moved in. Her yard is now finished.

Yus! Lil' nimjeh's stained glass pieces should arrive Tuesday. *dances on tineh picnic bench as Steven the unicorm death stares the fence*...

Teh bushes are blooming. Lil' nimjeh gots one of the unicorm properties of the neighborhood. Mature landscaping on thrwee sides that are Landscaping Nimjeh's problem.

Teh ferns underneath the Japanese maple are doing well. That bale of pine needles was a good investment.

Belly flops are the misshapen jelly bellys that are sold for cheaper. Taste just as good as the giant premium every flavor of the rainbow box.

Part 3 of Brother Nimjeh's birthday month, cake with homemade icing. Used an ancient easy cake recipe. Made too floofy for layers. Did 9x13 pan. Two kinds of sprinkles 'n jelly beans for toppings. Jelly belly's, but the belly flops 'cause lil' nimjeh not made of money.

Had to find something to keep squirrels from digging into my rwaised beds. Got the pine needles to satisfy the squirrel's urge to hide noms. The neighbor has been giving him peanuts.

Finally gots seedlings going. Had surprise frost happen more than once killing things off. Tineh tiny carrot sprwouts.

The raspberry looks like a hot mess. Zip tied it for stability 'cause it keeps flopping down.

Can everyone please stop shitting out AI slop? Otters matter more than your "hilarious" political commentary that's drinking up all the ponds.

From the festering apricot we're getting some very interesting real time information on how AI affects dementia.

Lil' nimjeh's new neighbbor, old church lady. Pressure washed her front path. Was doing my ancient neglected mossy path anyway. Prwevious owner of my place was a little old German lady. She had good taste. Still have her chandelier. Still gets her junk mail from the opera and the swiss colony.

It's teh one time of the month they recycle glass here. In teh dark of morning lil' nimjeh silently dragged Brother Nimjeh's prwecarious mountain of wine bottles. Was lucky nofing shattered. *does tiny flexs while slurping tea* Needs to grind more coffee...

The 2 steaks lil' nimjeh got were the most giant steaks I've seen in a while. Made a plate of noms for Uncle Nimjeh. Brother was willing to share his steak, but he's the birthday boy, so I gave half of my steak.

Veggies finished grilling. The funeral potatoes are delicimous. Awww. Brother Nimjeh really happy. Youse can tell when he sends pics of his food to the whole fambily.

Fanks to teh hoomanz and late stage capitalism lil' nimjeh needs a pan of emotional support potatoes.

Part 2 of Brother Nimjeh's birfmonth! Steaks, burgers 'n hot dawgz (gots all the condiments). Whatever he wants. Teh veggies currently on the grwill! Sticky rice always! It's the nimjeh way! Also first time making funeral taters because fuck it why not!?! *clicks tineh tongs*

Buddy Nimjeh today brought his guys over to Auntie Nimjeh's garden to finish it up. Ferns, 2 beauty bushes, a button bush, 3 kinds of blueberries. Mulch. Walking stones. Plant her little bay leaf tree. Then tomorrow Brother Nimjeh plants whatever's left.

My hanging fingie project is delayed. Waiting for my guy to make the stained glass pieces. He had to head to upstate New York to look after his elderly father. Happy to wait. Glasswork is beautiful, but it's expensive, time consuming and requires too much specific equipment.

The plants on the porch are doing well too. My artichoke lives in one of my rolling planters. Hoping it lives for years. The corn is sprouting. No rwats or squirrels have found it to nom. Which is surprising because my roof, fences and tree are a squirrel highway.

The raised beds are doing well. Survived a squirrel burying noms in them. I fink the pine needles will distract the squirrels enough to satisfy their instinctual need to bury thingz so the beds will be ignored. The birbs already are lubbing kicking the pine needles.

Spread the pine needles all over the garden, under the tree, the raspberry and roses. The Blue Georgia speedwell peeking through.

Gots a bale of pine needles. Lil' nimjeh sorted out all the twigs in the bale and threw them into the pit 'cause my red huckleberry lubs rwotting wood. Red huckleberry usually grows in the forest. It's also slow growing so imagine my surprise when it put out a ton of new growth right away.

Auntie Nimjeh and Pupper Nimjeh are sleepy.

More glass floats. Want to make somefing hanging. Now lil' nimjeh waiting on teh tineh stained glass pieces.

My raspberry is crwazy happy. Look! *points with sword* Flowers! *happy dance*

The fambily has a shiny new electric power washer. We is sharing it. Lil' nimjeh is letting Brother Nimjeh power wash the front walk. It's a big deal 'cause all of lub power washing. Auntie and Uncle Nimjeh gots to do their driveway and front parts forst. Then I gets to do my backyard.

Oh my gawd teh corn is actually sprouting finally. It's mini sweet corn. Perfect sized cobs for squirrels to hold.

Tineh petals falling into my planters. Everything survived multiple unexpected frwosts.
