The Micro.blog challenge word for day 10 is “energy”. Homemade pizza is a tasty source of energy. Margherita for me, puttanesca for @jidabug (larger portion for me, as she doesn’t eat leftover pizza). 🍕📷 #mbfeb

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 9 is “muddy”. Guess what happens when you add dirt and water together? Some muddy glop. But great for the base of the new duck island. 🏝🦆📷 #mbfeb

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 8 is “hope”. An easy one for me today: I hope that the new island continues to float, and the ducks use it. They were just swimming near it, so don’t seem too freaked out by it. 🏝🦆📷 #mbfeb

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 4 is “layers”. Our 19 chickens are good layers, averaging about 14 eggs per day in summer; the number reduces to only one or two during fall molting, but is starting to ramp up again now, at about five per day. 🐓🥚📷 #mbfeb

The word for day 25 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “hurdle”. The wooden garden benches tend to tip onto their backs in the winter winds, like knocked over hurdles. The feral cats enjoy playing on them. #mbfeb

A bonus “station”: a boxed Mac mini and Airport Extreme base station, also from 2005. Remember when Apple made Wi-Fi routers? (And remember the ad for them?) #mbfeb

The word for day 23 of the Micro.blog photo challenge is “station”. Here’s Portland’s downtown train station from 2005. I bet this view would be quite different nowadays, since the area in the background has gone through a lot of development. #mbfeb
