    Last night my cat brought me a toad.

    As a surprise.

    Also, since he had all of his teeth removed in March (I think it was), he doesn't kill anything anymore.

    So at 3 am I stepped on a surprise LIVE toad, screamed the loudest scream, ran away, grabbed my camera, and came back to take a picture and take it outside* (I'm not actually afraid of toads/frogs; I was just NOT EXPECTING THAT), but in the meantime, it found a hiding spot.

    So now I am heading home to play hide and seek with the missing toad.

    Good times.

    Canning season!

    I found a Canadian company that manufactures mason jar lids.

    I really wish you could just pick them up in stores, but the first time purchase discount plus ordering 200 of them neutralized the shipping cost, and they work out to a little $0.50 each, which is about 25 cents less per item than the cheapest rate in stores (for wide mouth lids).

    This year I'm planning to do all of my tomatoes in wide mouth jars, though the sauces &c. will be in the regular size jars.

    And with the first *poink*, the 2026 summer canning season has commenced (for me)!
