Work today will be interesting…

It’s amazing how time flies. Fourteen years of marriage with my best friend. Two wonderful children, a home, two cats, some fish, and a few chickens. I couldn’t ask for more. Happy Anniversary @TheRealChadwick âĪ

Picture of a couple getting married. The bride is light skinned with brown hair wearing a white dress with colorful stones on the bodice. The groom is light skinned with brown hair and is wearing a tux. The bride is holding onto a bouquet of flowers.

My garden is working! I’m actually growing things 😁

tomatoes, cucumber, squash, and some peppers in a clear container on a stone countertop

I saw five rainbows when I was out and about today 😊🌈

Currently reading: 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann 📚. I’m really enjoying this so far but I did need to grab an audio book of it to help with the pronunciations. Just a couple more hours to go 😀

Finished reading: The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham 📚

It took forever but I finally finished painting the windows this weekend! I started back in February

Long row of tall windows. Nine in total. They are freshly painted a light cream color.

Thanks to @manton for updating the bookmarks JSON api this afternoon to include tags so now you can use @sod’s wonderful bookmark plugin to display them (assuming you have the premium Micro.blog plan). You will need to use a custom template like he details in his documentation. The trick is to use the {{ .tags }} inside the {{ range .items }}. Here’s how I’m doing it on my site: Pastebin.

You might have noticed I further customized it with longer preview text and some extra replace statements. That’s because the .content_html includes some extra links to the micro.blog reader text which looked a bit strange after you stripped out the html with plainify. That’s where the {{replace (replace ( .content_html | plainify | truncate 300 ) "Reader: " "") $url.Host ""}} line comes in.
