  1. The paw is characterised by thin, pigmented, keratinised, hairless epidermis covering subcutaneous collagenous and adipose tissue, which make up the pads. These pads act as a cushion for the load-bearing limbs of the animal. The paw consists of the large, heart-shaped metacarpal or palmar pad (forelimb) or metatarsal or plantar pad (rear limb), and generally four load-bearing digital pads, although there can be five or six toes in the case of domestic cats and bears (including giant panda). A carpal pad is also found on the forelimb which is used for additional traction when stopping or descending a slope in digitigrade species. Additional dewclaws can also be present.

  7. Brighten My Day

    As the beautiful sun brings another fantastic day to life I find it’s a great day to be a coffee lover.

    As I sat here this morning trying to get on the wave of waking up I seen an article on MS news of one of my favorite things in life and had to share it with you.

    Coffee to the Rescue !!!

    Drinking 2-4 cups of coffee daily may lower risks of heart disease, stroke and atrial fibrillation. Coffee’s polyphenols and micronutrients may support glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

    You may think that regular coffee consumption causes heart issues, but drinking coffee throughout the day could do more good than harm, per the new review. The review notes that drinking a few cups of coffee each day could lower risks of cardiovascular conditions like atrial fibrillation (AF), coronary artery disease, heart failure and stroke.

    In one cited randomized trial published in JAMA, people with AF who drank at least one cup of caffeinated coffee daily had a 39% lower risk of their arrhythmia returning after treatment compared with those who avoided caffeine. The AHA also found that drinking two to three cups of coffee per day was associated with an approximately 10% lower risk of coronary artery disease. And a cited meta-analysis studying 2.4 million people linked three to four cups daily to a 21% lower risk of stroke

    Beyond heart health, your cup of joe offers more potential benefits. Most evidently, the review suggests drinking 3.5 to 5 cups of caffeinated coffee per day can decrease risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 30%.

    Although caffeine is highlighted in this review, the AHA emphasizes that coffee’s perks may also come from its polyphenol and micronutrient content. Specifically, coffee contains a polyphenol called chlorogenic acid, which can help your cells create, break down and store sugar for energy, supporting your glucose metabolism. Plus, the magnesium and chromium in coffee can also benefit insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose concentrations in the body.

    My Earnest Reaction

    Brew yourself a pot and guzzle it down, repeat process and write a poem.

    The Java Jubilee

    Take the time each day to wake up and see
    the great benefits provided for you and me
    Decaffeinated beans are a big waste of time
    while Sumatra beans are opening our minds

    As we add the beans to the filter with care
    the smell of fresh roast begins to fill the air
    Hot water slowly flows into a magical brew
    waiting for it to finish you run into the loo

    Filling the first cup helps kick start the day
    Awakens the senses in a special kind of way
    Eyes opening wide as the energy starts to flow
    You feel the rush and away you quickly go

    To much at once can lead to writing balderdash
    sending your post into a growing pile of trash
    Everything is cool as you return to the coffee pot
    Knowing without it life would be for naught
    1. The Java Jubilee

    This was a really fun post for me to do today as I cruise into my second pot!

    ENJOY THE DAY MY FRIENDS!

  9. My nephew picked some #beans & a #cucumber.
    He ended up sleeping over & went home early morning.
    I'm having some tea & getting some work invoicing done.
    Meeting up with @kaosk & @mayintoronto around 11am to start our 2 days of Fedi-friends adventures in Victoria & area. I'm playing mini tour guide✌️

  11. Don't know why but the Pinto beans have all died. Over a few days leafage turned brown yellow and flopped. Was doing allright. The rest seems to be alive, butter beans, tomatoes, black beans... lettuce, onions.

    Grape growing nicely, soon will have to get a net over them or else blackbirds will feast.

    Performed two sessions two hours each, yesterday and today, of brushcutting.

    Break time now and a pipe of plot grown tobacco.

  13. Another day of rain showers. Managed to do a lot of weeding and pick some stuff from the garden.

    Lots of beans hiding in there, plenty of peas and the three cucumber plants are producing enough cucumbers to eat every day.

    Must remember not to put cucumbers next to beans. Too dense jungle makes harvesting difficult.

  15. 10 #IndigenousGardening Techniques Still Used Today

    By: Robin Sweetser, May 3, 2026

    "As gardeners, we are connected to all people who have come before us, caring for the earth and learning how to best grow crops. Ready for the best gardening techniques? Let’s have a look at some age-old gardening wisdom that’s still relevant today.

    A Long History of #Gardening

    #Gourds, #beans, and #peppers were being cultivated in #Mexico by 5500 BC, and by 5000 BC, #maize was being grown in #Mesoamerica, and #potatoes in #SouthAmerica. The success or failure of these crops had a major impact on people’s survival. It was critical not only that the land provided sustenance but that it sustained them year after year, which required knowledge of #sustainable growing techniques to preserve the land for future generations.

    We hear buzzwords like 'sustainable' or 'permaculture' and 'organic' today. But these techniques were here long before we started talking about 'going green.' Perhaps your grandparents also knew some of the older, gentler ways. Many are simply intuitive and based on fostering a closer relationship with nature and the land. If you don’t already, you might want to think about integrating some of these techniques into your own landscape.

    Many of the following practices are often viewed as 'new' to the gardening world, but they’ve been around for a long, long time. They have all been traditionally used by #NativeAmerican peoples, but that is not to say that all of these techniques were used by all Native American cultures. Just like separate countries, #Indigenous cultures vary widely in their gardening philosophies and techniques. Below are just a few #sustainable, Earth-conscious ways to grow a better garden.

    These practices originate from diverse Indigenous nations across North and South America, including the #Haudenosaunee (#Iroquois), #Hopi, #Wampanoag, and many others. Agricultural traditions varied widely by climate, geography, and culture.

    Companion Planting (the #ThreeSisters Method)

    Time-honored gardening wisdom says that certain plants, when grown together, improve each other’s health and yields. For instance, some plants attract beneficial insects that help to protect a companion, while other plants (particularly herbs) act as repellents.

    A commonly cited example is the Three Sisters Garden, which has been traditionally practiced by the Wampanoag people of what is now the northeastern United States. A prime demonstration of companion planting at its best, corn provides support for pole beans to climb, the beans add nitrogen to the soil for future crops to use, and squash leaves shade the soil around the taller plants, like a living mulch. Squash’s prickly leaves also deter marauding animal pests. Some would add a fourth sister—a flowering plant such as #sunflowers—to draw in #pollinators.

    #Intercropping or #polyculture of plants that have mutual benefits (aka companion planting) mimics the way different species grow together in nature. #Monoculture, on the other hand, leads to the exhaustion of soil nutrients. Indigenous people also discovered that plant diversity meant diet diversity. If one crop should fail, the others could fill that void.

    Try 'intercropping' in your vegetable garden. Sneak small crops in between bigger ones; the small crops will be ready before the big ones need the space.

    #Terracing for #SoilConservation

    Terracing creates flat planting beds in hilly terrain. Taming the steep slopes slows runoff, allowing water to seep into the beds and curb erosion.

    Creating terraces in which to garden is an especially good way to garden where rain is seasonal, sporadic, and often comes in heavy downpours. In the southwestern U.S., for example, terracing was key to the agricultural success of the Anasazi and their descendants, the #Hopi, who still use terraced gardens today. This can be seen in the village of #HotevillaBacavi, in northern Arizona, where traditional #TerracedGardens were restored in the 1990s.

    If you wish to garden sustainably on sloped land for years to come, the use of terracing is essential in avoiding soil erosion that carries your precious topsoil away.

    There are different types of #terracing. If you have a slope, consider using some rocks or retaining walls to create a series of flattened areas, mitigating runoff. Ancient terraces are seen all over the steep terrain in #Greece, too.

    Traditional Irrigation Methods

    Thousands of years ago, the Anasazi people inhabited what is now the Four Corners region of the U.S., an area known for its low annual rainfall. They traditionally built catchments, check dams (dams made of rock that held onto soil but allowed water to pass through), and reservoirs to collect the infrequent stormwater. The Hopi people of northern Arizona also use these age-old techniques to irrigate their gardens in this arid landscape, although modern technology has allowed for expanded #WaterConservation efforts.

    If you live in a dry area, storing water in ponds, cisterns, or even a #RainBarrel is a wise idea, as the reserved water can be used for irrigation as needed.

    Conversely, in areas with floods, people learned how to use what could be destructive as a way to boost productivity. For example, one technique was to create shallow depressions so that when the floodwaters rose, the water could be stored. Another technique was to use #canals near rivers to divert water to nearby farmland."

  17. Got in the first picking of pole beans this morning. These are var. Kentucky Blue and are having a good year. They must like their new spot that's partially shaded in the mornings. Beans with dinner tonight.
