Good.

"Right to Repair" passed by Maine voters tonight means local and small-business mechanics can have access to data that would be restricted to dealerships.

on a day everyone expects to be rainy is so nice.

No lawnmowers. No motorcycles. No leaf blowers. No weed sackers.

Got a bunch of new in and doubled our rain barrels.

@qkslvrwolf Nice!

What new native plants did you add? I was excited to see my first-of-year tiger swallowtail butterfly in my yard, on the swamp milkweed.

@qkslvrwolf Whoa, that's a lot of new plants. Have you grown obedient plant before?

I've been looking, but haven't found any milkweed beetles. Yet.

Picked up some brown-eyed susan last month at the native plant swap. First time I've had it.

@qkslvrwolf Oooh, that does make it easy to go wild! I've relied mostly on local plant swaps as well as annual metropark native plant sales.

I only started 4 years ago planting native plants, converting existing beds and digging up parts of the lawn.

Small planting in front yard doubled in size this year.
