I have played in dirt! pulled some weeds, deadheaded (new knowledge) some on the front rose bush. planted all but 8 of the things I have to plant. 2 are going into the ground, 4 are going into big planters I already have. That leaves two and I need more planters. I think I am going to take a break, then walk the house making note of the things I have been thinking I need from Lowe's and take a fast trip there.
I remember in high school, the nuns tried so hard (in vain) to get us to pronounce "twenty" as "twen-tee," not "twunny". The flat midwestern accent is a bitch.

I did the walk there and Uber back! First Uber in a month, but now I have 4 tomatoes, 4 peppers, 2 zucchini and some Kale.

I feel like my mouth is in slightly different positions for Aaron and Erin, but I'm not sure if the sound is different enough to notice.
A voice and articulation class in undergrad taught me to differentiate between pen/pin and ten/tin.
My parents have two robin's nests on their house and have enjoyed sitting on their deck and talking to the robin parents. They're a little upset with the crow that raided the nests right after the chicks hatched.
