We'll be having cheeseburgers with egg on top, for lunch. Eggs go with just about anything.

Good morning nostr, starting my first coffee a bit late today. I had multiple sleep interruptions because of our dog, so i needed to sleep in.

Today i might go plant a couple of bald cypress trees near our pond. A family member that visited recently (lives in austin), gave us 4 tiny bald cypress and said the Arbor Day foundation was giving away a bunch of them. Thats great and all, but everything i've read says those trees require lots more water than most. If they want to give away trees in texas, they should pick more hardy varieties, imo. Anyway, they were given to us, so near the pond they will go. Yall have a great thursday, enjoy your coffee, and do your work with a happy heart. #coffeechain #grownostr #trees

If you have every observed a dandelion for a day you will notice the flowers open and close in response to light. We have been having some wonderful sunny days of late and today it happens that it is cloudy thus the petals have not opened so much. When the clouds are in the sky the red light of infrared and visible is blocked more than some of the UV side of the spectrum.

So in the video when we have a fresh dandelion under the microscope after being in the direct sun and the epiflourescent light is used on the petal it moves. The epiflourescent light on the scope is on the blue light end of the spectrum and therefore it seems the flower is moving in response to the blue light because it is the action taken at the end of the day aka closing up for the night. As the sun rises we have more red light because the light has to travel through more atmosphere than and at the end of the day where have more blue.

In the video you can see only the petals really move. Once they move they don’t return so much but when the infrared red-light led panel is shone on it it moves back more.

I have also seen trichomes and leaves pump sap, puffballs move their spores with the epi, signalling a similar end of the day type of action. The leaves would likely be pumping metabolites to the roots, puffballs hairs would be possibly preparing spores for dispersal to avoid direct midday sun.

Turns out this process is called Nyctinasty.

Phytochromes proteins seem to be responsible for the red light movement

and Phototrophins are proteins for the blue light movement.

there is also a protein for UV B

also for blue light:

I am sure there must be more too and it would surprise me if lots of this stuff applies to people in some way too.

Light definitely seems to affect humans too, probably in ways we dont even know yet.

Hi nostr, i've been super busy and havent had much time for nostr scrolling today. My morning was taken up with my volunteer work at the resale shop because they asked if i could work an extra shift, so i did. The rest of the day has been just catching up on everything. I was hoping to get some time to play with my start9, but it didnt happen today. Anyway, yall have a good evening nostr friends. #homesteading #grownostr

What did i miss? Just now catching up on stuff.

If yall find a list of legal defense funds for btc related companies or individuals, post it here on nostr. I think we may need to start preparing to defend our brothers and sisters. #grownostr
