I am still enjoying the delightfully #solarpunk Timberborn game, but especially as someone who works in astronomy, I would like to bring attention to something that cannot be unseen, courtesy @notNapoleon.
The Observatory only runs during the day.
OK, I reply, fine: maybe it's a solar observatory. Those exist. NSO's Daniel K Inouye solar telescope is very cool (literally, it needs a mind-boggling amount of cooling to not melt in operation). But no. The Observatory does not track the sun. It swings around like it is carrying out unrelated short observations that could really benefit from scheduling optimization to save time and wear on the gears.
Maybe they have advanced filters and are studying fast-moving UFOs. Or they are surveying post-Kessler-syndrome layers of satellite trash. Maybe I am underappreciating Beaver Science here. It has been weeks, and I am still wondering: what are they up to?

Old Ellicott City Main Street last night: friendly local astronomer has started setting up a telescope by the old Post Office weekend evenings. Got a lovely detailed view of the moon.

Somewhere in between pip-audits and rocket launches and the rain, planted the snap peas. And some bush beans, and salad greens, and another row of asparagus, which the squirrels stopped by to investigate but haven't tried to dig up, and a fig tree which is still small enough for a pot. It's back to cool and grey and misty fog, just a little too much to be nice for coffee on the deck, but probably perfect for the fancy lettuce seeds, so I'll deal.
The raised bed herb and veggie garden is tiny, and deciding what to cram into the space when for clever succession planting and personal value to effort ratio gets complicated, but in the end a lot of it just gets filled with anything I won't feel like waiting on bi-weekly farm share or weekly neighborhood co-op hours or paying certified retail prices for. And dandelion greens, because it's easier to coexist and eat them than try and pull every last root out of the perennials.
Along the garage, there was clearly another flower bed at some point in the past, which dandelions have wholly taken over. Later this year if I'm feeling spry, the plan is to turn that into more distinguished native flowers, and then next, add more pavers to a path that should keep them in check. It's the only non-essential project I've given myself for this place so it is likely I will procrastinate into it sooner than later.

Found a zine from 2003's Garlic Mustard Challenge invasive plant park cleanup and cook-off, still running in the Patapsco river greenway for 26 years. Plant facts! Management info! Recipes!

Watkins Glen Gorge Trail immediately after overnight rain certainly is a thing.

PS locals: Backwater Books in #EllicottCity has Irish session music going on at the upstairs bar 4th Wednesdays and 2nd Sundays, and Korean fusion pizza on the weekends? Surprise for those of us who have fallen behind on Meta based social media. Not a bad one.
