In July I had to say goodbye to my beloved boy of 16 years, Herzog, who I raised from 8 wks old. It still hurts, now and then.

I'm so, so thankful Fergus was able to leave you happy and without pain, but I know it hurts. An early diagnosis is the cruelest blessing there is. 💔

Feed cleanse - please enjoy this little fat bee asleep on a flower while my fierce stone planter watches over her.

I dont know why Ace was selling awesome gorgon-based planters, but I'm thankful they were and I could afford one.

In magnificent news, Jo made banana bread.
"Phenomenal" doesn't even come close. More like "life changing."

My yard is showing out.

Yesterday I saw my very first American goldfinch getting seeds from the dead Black-Eyed Susan heads. Today, saw a female cardinal catch a huge wasp mid-air.

Soon I'm going to cut down this invasive Chinese Primrose and replace it with a native Black Willow. 😊🌳🌿

We picked him up last week from the Petuary. "Oh thus was that big, pretty boy with the white blazes," they said. She also asked if we had other pets. On hearing No, she said "the house feels cold now, doesn't it?"

Maybe it was just being polite or part of a shtick but it helped so, so much.

The Teddy Bears/Iggy Pop "I'm a Punk Rocker Yes I am" and Superman and I just need to scream I LOVED THIS FUCKING CAT SO HARD I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE HIM BACK.

But I held his paw and his head and kissed him goodbye and he was so, so brave.

I want to kill cancer with my bare fucking hands.

Herzog: April 2009 - July 14 2025
Today my home is just an empty building because my heart is gone.

In the midst of everything, would you please take a moment to send Herzog some healing energy? I don't feel like explaining it - but please spare a thought for him today if you can.

Me: do you wanna split this with me?
Him: (observes my twitching eye, recalls I mentioned i want to lie down on the floor for a big gasping cry over everything) no you go ahead.
Me: I'm going to eat it all.
Him: yes, good.

Apparently the humor was hitting in Nov of last year.

(Other funny things I've seen since I just forget to save)

My herb spiral has come a loooooong way since last year.
I've got parsley, sage, rosemary...and oregano.
I had Thyme but it didn't survive the winter.
We've cooked with the Rosemary & Oregano. Also I didn't know sage had flowers!

Haven't read any Pratchett in a while & now feels like a good time to dive back in. The Kindle is powered up & ready to go (although eventually I'll collect physical copies)although I'll get into his other works, fiction & nonfiction, too.

(Also fuck R*wl*ng. 🖕)

Thanks to @syvalidhandle.bsky.social for the suggestion - just donated blood for the first time in several years!

The visit went so perfectly. Only wish he could have stayed longer.
Today we're resting & recharging.
Except I hung up the birdhouse I made last weekend.
The color is ... ancient burgundy? Something like that. What do y'all think?

Indeed!

Happy first day of spring*!

The garden is getting ready to do it's thing - we've fertilized and planted seeds in some parts the last 2 weekends, getting ready to add another bed and fill it with native plants. 🌾🌱🌲🌿

I'm pleased by how much survived the winter!

*northern hemisphere, anyway

Good morning all!
I don't know how but today I made The Perfect Cup of Coffee. Just 2 scoops of Medallin d'Oro in the French Press, with a splash of milk. It's just... taking me somewhere. Somewhere nice.
I hope you find a simple joy today, just a little something to help get you through.
