Vogue, I'm sorry. You can't use this thumbnail unless the actual list is:

5. Dancing around cauldrons
6. Lounging over moss-covered bones
7. Communing with spirits

I was not prepared for my tiny fan-trained tree to produce two pounds of fruit every couple days. Anybody have a good recipe for Greengages they want to share before I drown in plums?

Pink currants. I should really just bite the bullet and charge the battery for my SLR. I think these might come across better with a real polarizing filter.

Cats are so aloof and mysterious.

I think red currants are just so pretty. It's hard for my shitty cellphone camera to capture how translucent and jewel-like they are. Uh, also: Sorry to everyone I know for the inevitable crapton of currant jelly coming your way.

What determines the bloom color of lewisia cotyledon? This one is purple, but one of its offsets is pink and the other is white. Which... aren't they genetically identical?

I made a handy chart for reference:

What if, instead of pushing a boulder, Sisyphus had to pull out a bunch of quack grass, but the root kept going and going and by the time he got to the end it had all grown back? Wait, that's just gardening. Anyway, look at this lewisia.

For you, Ringo, I pulled a card from my Arcane Bullshit deck (best thing I have kickstarted to date) Here you go. The Shark, Trombone & 3 sandwiches. Upright.

I see your printed out sheet on a clipboard method of getting your shit together and raise you:
A piece of notebook paper with only the word "NO" written on it, taped to the door to my home office several months ago for reasons I no longer remember.

These were one part corn-flavored ice cream, one part corn-and-kraft macaroni powder ice cream, caramel swirl, and dipped in white chocolate.

Listen, I'm not angry that this article did not discuss the bright future of humanity sealed forever inside giant hamster balls, I'm just disappointed.

Hey, if you, like me, keep seeing this and are PROFOUNDLY WORRIED because your absentee ballot from PA looks nothing whatsoever like the ones here? I think this applies only to the ones MAILED TO YOU, and not the ones received by email. Which have no instructions about a date anywhere.

That's almost the recipe! I had to copy this off a barely legible note card when I left home. I highly recommend making some of the cheese velveeta. It turns out better.

I may have to do some shovel pruning in the front yard, but I am super excited about the milkweed. This is only the second year it's bloomed, and the first year it's made seed pods.

Why did I make this account? I hate social media. Anyway, here's some cats.
