What did you find today?

[Icequeen]

Yesterday I found a tini white Buddleja davidii growing in the gutters. Pulled it out and took it home. Not even 10 cm, and already proudly blooming. It survived the transition to a pot very well. It will get a good place in the garden, after it is well settled and with a decent root system.

Today I found that one of the cats I am taking care of for the holidays did well tonight.
Yesterday night she went into labour, the moment we were there to feed her. This morning when I checked, she was still in labour, but with some kittens around her too. When I looked again five minutes later, the last of the five kittens was born. All healthy and active.

White...cool.    I have about 3 butterfly bushes but they're all purple.

I like how it is already blooming, this small. It probably is a seedling, from a garden where several shades of purple butterfly bushes are. This offers some promises.

  I found a bone chip in my cold cut sandwich!  Damn, I could have broken a tooth!

Was it bone from the critter you think the cold cut came from? Or did the  have an accident, and was your cold cut fresher than ever before?

  I really hope it was from the critter.  I may need to stop eating processed meat.

Bodie can tell you step by step how to make a good bow. Time to hunt your own city meat.

  City meat ... squirrels, raccoons, pigeons?  I don't think I want those either.

Pigeon and squirrel are said to be really nice.

What kind of unprocessed meat are you thinking then? Just bringing a pig up with you on the stairs, to make your own bacon?

Imagine what your neighbours would write on possible forums they go to. "Sounds like my neighbour is dating a pig."

  I think I should just stick to fish, chicken and turkey, cooked fresh in the big oven at work.

  You know the cat who bit you?  Now is his chance to redeem himself!

That cat doesn't go outside and the one that does I think has some sort of deal with them, he rarely ever leaves any dead mice around but I find dead birds all the time  even though the shed is one of his favorite hang outs

Find?
I sometimes find things dropped off from work trucks. I do not know why, but I have an eye for tools lost on the road.

About three weeks ago I found a really high quality framing hammer. Back just after the snow had melted, I found a really large pair of Channelock pliers - twenty six inches long and jaws that would bite an eight inch object - largest fucking Channelocks I had ever seen. Now they are mine.
 
Last year I found a nice shop broom, brand new just laying on the side of the road.

I know the thread is about today, but I just saw this thread today, so about yesterday, it was raining like a monsoon when I left work, but I spotted something. After making it to my car, getting myself comfortable, I became more and more curious about what I saw winking at me in the dusky light with rain blinding me and wind making everything cold. I decided to go back, turning on every light my car had and investigate.

I had seen a Gerber folding knife. Obviously, I was not the only one running to make it to the safety of my vehicle, but someone lost something of value.


Give me a while to post a pick.

It is a really cool knife.

Anyway this is what I saw wrenching my attention away from getting out of the rain, yesterday.
I know that someone is at a loss to have lost this treasure.

This is fucking awesome!
Not only that someone who gives a shit saw it, but that YOU were able to recognize it for what it will grow to be.

I have had a few successes making offspring from cuttings, but I have never had any seedlings come to flower.

And yet you just found one?
WOW!
