Night-Blooming Cereus: First Bloom
I just finished writing a post about the night-blooming cereus in our yard and how they might bloom in the next few days. Then found out that it was possible they would bloom tonight! But it turns out that only one of our night-blooming cereus bloomed tonight and that we still have four left to go.

Night-Blooming Cereus: Bloom Watch
I mentioned the night-blooming cereus cactus in one of our This Week on the Homestead posts. There are different varieties but I think our particular ones are Peniocereus greggii. The flowers bloom for one night in June or July starting around 8 PM and then close by dawn the next day.

Kiwico Tinker Crate: Mechanical Bird
The Tinker Crate line at Kiwico is for ages 9-16. This particular crate, the mechanical bird, could probably count as an engineering/art crate. This crate contains gears and paper/cardboard pieces to build your own bird that can flap its wings.

Macarons: Three Ways
After a long time away from making macarons, I baked some on Saturday. I decided to make vanilla shells and just use different-flavored fillings: root beer, Dalgona coffee, and pomegranate. They didn't turn out great, but at least they were edible!

Since we skipped last week's on the homestead post, we knew we had to do one this week! This week we have pictures of chickens, cacti, and macarons.
