Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes.  Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime.  So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace.  Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.

We have a
cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket.  It has a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs.  A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper.  The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone.  Per request, I have added a lawn tent this time. Now we also have an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity.  Come snuggle up!

Doug finished making the dal makhani today.  It's a little wetter than ideal -- beans can be tricky to cook -- but quite tasty.  Also it's kind of a pink color, rather than the darker reddish-brown I've often seen in restaurants.  This may be due to using fresh tomato puree or who knows what other reason.  We got one large container, four medium ones, and the bowl that Doug bailed out to eat immediately, which is a pretty good quantity.  \o/  Success!

Later this week we plan to shop for the chicken makhani ingredients and test that.

Today was warm and partly sunny.

I went out and took pictures.   Sawtooth sunflowers, some new asters in the prairie garden, the purple and the pink sedum are blooming.  :D  Also there are pears all over the pear tree.  I saw a preying mantis feeding on a butterfly, and a couple of grasshoppers humping.  Sometimes it's all about perspective -- I didn't see the mantis or grasshoppers until I crouched down to photograph the colorful wing of the butterfly.

Later I went back out and watered plants.  It's dry here.  Someone mentioned online that the wetland at our local nature center is all dried up.  :(
