I'm not sure if I'll still be in my home next year. I don't know if we'll have to move to stay safe. But today I pulled invasive honeysuckle and planted native trees, and I put a Carolina mantis eggcase on a branch in my garden. With a little bit of luck, I'll have little horrors hatching soon.

I figure why not make my first post this extremely cursed photo of a toy cymbal monkey from a Goodwill auction?
