there is something to be said for going to zoos and aquariums on weekdays to avoid school-aged crowds but going to the aviary on a weekend is fun because going into big greenhouses and watching toddlers who just learned to walk encounter loose tropical animals taller than they are is part of the overall experience for me.

to me a three year old is just as much an entertaining and strange beast as an egret. and here they can interact directly. incredible.

For the first time, I am attempting to tap the maples on my property. At least, the three big ones. The first tree I tapped started dripping sap immediately, just as I expected/was told it would. But the other two... the third one I tapped DID drip but WAY slower, and the biggest maple... nothing. I'm hoping she just hasn't woken up yet, since it's only JUST getting above freezing as of like 2-3 days ago (and still it snowed yesterday). I left the spiles in and the buckets on, so we'll see if she wakes up as it warms up here.

I'm a little excited to try this out. I know with only 3 trees I won't get a ton, but it's more about the learning experience at this point. Being able to have maple sugar from my own property would be cool.

Starfall - Part 3

PREV - DONE

ITS DONE AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, man this one's been in progress since like November? Between getting a part-time job, commissions, and life stuff, this one took awhile! But I'm so happy with how it turned out!

Thank you everyone for your support (and patience) on my first comic project!!! And your support thus far with this AU in general-I got more comic ideas planned so I can't wait to work on the next one!

As a little bonus, how did Anthea get that giant chalk board down?

They who shall free The One Who Waits everyone.
