I assume it's named after the famous Navy flying squad: https://www.blueangels.navy.mil/
You can also make dandelion tea from the leaves, which may be easier to dry than the petals.
Some books I buy to read now. Some books I buy to read at an undefined "later." Browsing my shelves is exciting when I know there are books there that I've yet to really encounter.
I read Dracula for the first time about a year ago. I'm also not a big horror fan in general, but I absolutely loved it and -- even with knowing about Dracula just from popular culture -- found it genuinely creepy. It was also really interesting how Dracula was defeated not just by the heroes' actions in the conventional sense but also by the conventional trappings of modernity. Things like calendars, railway timetables, and bills of sale play a surprisingly outsize role.
That's an incredible post. Thank you for sharing it!

That's really cool! Are you an astronomer? Or if not, how do you get telescope access?
I like spring a lot, but I definitely prefer winter to summer. Hot weather does not agree with me!
If Americans boycotting Tesla is domestic terrorism, I can't wait to see what we get labelled...
- Canada (I live here)
- USA (many many family/friend visits since I was a child; also lived there for ~6 years as an adult)
- England (one week in London, one week in the South Downs)
- Denmark (three weeks for a family visit)
- France (a weekend in Paris)
- Belgium (about 2-3 days in Bruges)
- The Netherlands (about 2-3 days in Delft)
- Germany (roughly 6 hours, driving from Belgium to Denmark)
There's family bonding time in that nebula!
Oh! I had one just like that when I was a kid!
I see the same at NoFrills as well, but if you look at the actual produce stickers instead of the bin labels it will tell you the specific country.
Maybe stepping back slowly could help. Like if there are three AI tools that you usually rely on, this week only use two of them, then the next week only use one, etc.
I'm not sure about online sources, but this is a solid reference book: https://editors.ca/publications/editing-canadian-english/
Oh yes, I see now!
Moss stitch is a great one to learn if you ever want to do things like blankets or scarves. Visually it's about as dense as single crochet, but has a lot more drape. It's a favourite of mine! https://easycrochet.com/moss-stitch-crochet-tutorial/
