dw_maintenanceHappy Saturday!
I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!
If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.
For the birds!

moonhare(Unable to put this up last night due to problems noted at the end of this post)
Most of our deep snow has receded in our rains and 50° to 60°F temps! Yesterday was a lovely day, and I took advantage of this to build a bluebird nesting box :D I wish it came out better, but it should be adequate, providing the bluebirds return before other feathered friends, or mice, take it over.
Side fence, facing east; somewhat clear.
It rained last night and today was cooler, then cold with snow flurries. I have one more box to build, weather permitting.

Our snow is slowly melting, but there are still knee deep areas that slope away from the sun.
Out front (expandable as always)-
February 23, after the blizzard.
Today.
The next few days will be warm as well and should help reduce the snowpack. Our daffodils are still buried under about 25”.
Inside-
My pc has been crashing lately- stalling and then having explorer go black. I blamed FireFox, but after installing WaterFox nothing improved. I’ve (only) got 8GB RAM, but unfortunately the prices skyrocketed before I could up that. Today, though, I decided to try an old trick: up virtual memory. Not for the meek, though relatively easy, and Woohoo! it seemed to clear up my problems… for now. I’ll get onto the pc again tomorrow and see if I was correct. I’m on the iPad right now.
Humor-
A great tattoo- acceptable Pokémon parody.
