3.72 The ambassador

On our way to the Arboretum, I highlighted a few noteworthy features of the neighborhood, including a shameless plug for my yoga classes at the Celebration Center. Clear skies and warm sun made it the perfect day for this tour. Though, there was never a wrong time to visit San Sequoia. Every day was perfect.

"This is Gilbert Gardens," I said, vaguely gesturing around us. "It's my favorite place in San Sequoia because it has so much to do for all ages."

"I can't get over this weather. Is it always this nice?"

"Amazing, right? That's one of the best parts about San Sequoia."

The warm rays beamed down on us while a cool breeze whisked back and forth, ensuring we remained comfortable. Dub glanced around, shaking his head in disbelief at the gorgeous weather.

"Henford is usually covered in snow right about now," he said with a hint of snark.

I chuckled at a memory that popped into my head.

"I've seen snow exactly twice in my life. It doesn't snow much in Willow Creek. That's where I've spent the most time."

"I think snow is overrated," Dub huffed, waving dismissively again.

"You might be right. I mean, it's super cold...you can't see if it's too thick...and you have to clean it up!"

He slapped my arm.

"See? I knew we were in sync."

"Playing in it looks fun, though."

"That's overrated too! I don't like my hands being cold. There's no fun in that!"

He was hilarious and I know he wasn't trying to be, but the fake outrage amused me.

"I might have to agree with you there," I said.

We got halfway around the lake before I realized I hadn't shown him much. I made a terrible tour guide, but I think we both enjoyed the company more; I know I did.

"I teach at that spa over there sometimes," I said.

"What do you teach?"

"Yoga. I also lead guided meditations."

"So, yoga videos and classes? You must really love it."

"I do."

His eyes squinted a bit, like he was processing my words or something. I hadn't said anything too deep. Was he one of those yogi haters?

"A good friend of mine just told me she's into it too," he said. "She says it's for therapeutic reasons."

"Good for her. I think everyone should be into yoga."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's great therapy. I think everyone should learn healthier ways to deal with stress. Sims turn to so many self-destructive ways of dealing with their problems, only to make it worse. Having a healthy body leads to a healthy mind."

"I'm sure Maia would agree. She made me promise to try it with her."

"I hope you do."

I hadn't heard of many men who had platonic relationships with women. Even I had some sort of physical attraction and a bit of lust for my female friends. What was his relationship with this friend?

"So...Maia, huh?"

"Yeah, she's my friend I mentioned."

"I see... Well, I'm glad you'll try it. I think you'll find it helps a lot.

He didn't catch it that time, but I wouldn't let him miss it the next time, and there would be a next time. I was sure of it.

"Over there, you have the splash park. Mostly kids hang out there. We can swim in this lake."

"It's huge!"

"Tell me about it. My dad and I jogged around it once. I think I nearly killed him. There's all kinds of trails around here, but this is my favorite."

As we approached the trailhead, Dub looked around in awe, exactly like I did the first time I visited. The garden was what made it exceptionally beautiful. The way they expertly arranged the flowers and creatively teased the topiaries, it truly was a work of art.

"Woooow. I never would have seen all this back here."

"They call it the Arboretum. You ready to go?"

"Always."

We stretched, and I recommended we take it easy and pace ourselves, but Mr. Funny Man had other ideas. Good thing I was also athletic. I accepted the challenge, but of course, I had to flex on him a few times.

I asked about his family. The fact that he was the oldest of three boys amazed me. With no brotherly figure or close friends in my life, I found it difficult to imagine the dynamics of such a relationship. Would I enjoy little brothers? Would they annoy me? Maybe both because little sisters could be fun and annoying. Dub and his brothers grew up on a farm, and he hated it. Memories of the sights and smells of cleaning out chicken coops and milking cows disgusted him all over again. I would never laugh at anyone's pain, but he was so easily grossed out. I almost wanted to try it to see if it was really that bad.

Naturally, he returned the same questions, and I told him about our family dynamics and how my sister and I bounced between Willow Creek and Evergreen Harbor our entire childhood. I kept it casual and didn't say anything emotional, but he remained silent. Maybe he was contemplating my situation just like I was considering farm life with a bunch of brothers.

We took a few breaks, and he guzzled his water as if he were on fire. I shook my head, secretly laughing at him for dashing off like it was a race. Eventually we arrived back at our starting point, winded but feeling like a million simoleons.

"That was a good run," he said. "Maybe the longest I've done so far."

"Yeah, before I ran around the lake it was my longest too."

"And it was very scenic, like you said."

"You should see it in the summer! It's amazing."

I could tell by how golden the sky was, and the emptiness in my stomach, dinnertime was near. I had another idea I hoped he'd be keen on.

"I'm usually having dinner about now. If you have more time, you wanna go to the best restaurant in San Sequoia?"

"Yeah! Uhh, actually, let me check with Maia first."

See? I knew he'd bring her up again. This dude was in love and didn't even know it, and it was so fun to watch. Even the way he said her name had hearts all over it.

"Of course. I wouldn't want to get you in trouble or anything," I said in a cheeky way.

"Whatever, man!"

He may have sounded offended, but I did not forget that grin. One way or another, I'd get their story out of him. Ugh...I was unquestionably my mother's child.

To make up for my angsty ask I have a fluff one! ( Unless you already answered this one) but what would Ros favorite thing to do together with their and Mcs kid be?

No need to apologise for the angst 😋 I live for it 👀😅

This is so adorable! 💖 It makes me wish I could skip time so I can be done with the main game and just write domestic bliss scenes 😂

Irus: He'd really enjoy just spending family time with the MC and their child. If it means having a picnic in the gardens outside or just visit the city - as long as they're together, he'll be happy.

Elora: Elora would love doing anything creative - so maybe painting together or topiary with the MC and their child or planting a vegetable garden.

Oren: Oren would love doing something outdoors like exploring a forest or something simple like volunteer at the local soup kitchen to help the needy.

Anu: Anu would love to do something exciting like going to a fighting arena or more child-friendly, taming wild beasts together 😅

[tokofagkawa]

Okay but Syo getting into topiary is a funny thought cause she can still use her scissors but now to make bush sculptures of things she enjoys.

I bet half of them are either gruesome yet very creative sculptures and the other half is dedicated to Komaru.

"OKAY here's the plant sculpture I made of Saturn Devouring His Son and HERE'S Komaru because she is very beautiful (≧ڡ≦)"

Primo/OC | 674 words | Ghoul oc | Ghouls are inhuman

Primo's ghoul is a creative soul. AO3

Primo stares at the line of what were theoretically tiny human sculptures on the raised bed of his lavender. They were lined up neatly & with clear purpose, but the shapes themselves eluded him. He settles in full onto the low stool beneath him, a small huff through his nose.

He knows green eyes were studying him as he in turn studied their owner's latest work.

"The influences of Giacometti are apparent." Primo states.

A giggle from amongst the bluebells as the eyes dart away.

"Though the subject matter is unmistakably profane."

The giggle ends in a bark of laughter.

Primo turns with a raised chin to see the garden ghoul's tail whip around. "Clearly from the mind of a tortured soul." his voice still deadpan but receives the rattle of delight from the ghoul he wanted nonetheless.

Muck's chest flutters under the shake of her stifled laughter. Her upper lip bitten by metallic fangs in an attempt to feign ignorance. A game the two play, their own ritual, freed from service as he now was.

Gardening continues as Primo is careful to work around the slowly drying mud sculptures. Letting them bake in the sun.

After a few hours a sibling emerges to deliver lunch, the sun high in the sky & barely blocked by the overhanging trees. Primo was resigned to the timid prodding of the young attendant, clearly having been tasked with the usual warnings of keeping an eye on this old man's health. As if he didn't know his limits by now. Still, he listens to the same list of reminders with minimal grunting as he relocates to the shade. The same green eyes as before now locked onto the sibling, no sound of a moving tail, only the sharp clips of tiny shears at work.

Once the sibling was satisfied Primo shooed them away, aware of the slowly increasing gaps between snips that grew harsher on each return. Like an approaching step. Deaf to the warning, the sibling hesitates on the path, as they begin to turn back to the retired Papa they register the grey body standing dangerously close to their side.

They flinch at the blank stare & stumble over a greeting to rush out an excuse, & quickly dash down the path they'd arrived through. Leaves swaying as they retreated. The sibling left behind Muck, stood taught & still grasping the shears at her side. She tilts her head at the retreating human. A rustle of fabric behind her has her ear twitch, she didn't need to turn to know it was the movement of Primo's beckoning hand. Muck loafs up the steps to him, an innocent smile on her face & the shears now dangle loosely on a claw.

Primo pats the bench next to him; a cool stone, carved into shape to nestle against the thick tree behind it. Earning a chitter & swift obedience from the ghoul. She nestles into place beside him & eyes the food in his lap.

Another ritual. Muck watches Primo eat with her endless fascination & patience. In between bites he starts, "Is mostriciattola satisfied with her work?"

The question is wide enough to give her pause. She blinks her pupil-less green eyes. His ever levelled voice now gives her no clue as to his intentions.

"Luce dei miei occhi?" Muck croons, twisting her tail in anxiety "Do you not enjoy your peace? A small paradise in the long day?"

Primo hums around another bite, looking out at the gardens designed to hide many alcoves & protect inhabitants from outside intervention. It was once manicured & ostentatious; sharp lines of perfect topiaries to fit with the predecessors of his father's taste. A sight only changed when he inherited the Papa name & even then it was slow progress, he had to obfuscate each climbing vine & wildflower. Until his kingdom of green stood unchallenged.

His old bones feel the pull to the ground as a deep sense of accomplishment washes over him. A chin rests softly on his relaxing shoulder.

"I made this for you." She whispers.

A garden of pleasure.

Can we talk about how quirky and imaginative Taylor is? Because for me watching Lavender Haze music video is like being in her Nashville apartment like the quirkiness of it all. Like in this old interview talking about she has a pond, a bird cage, telescope, ceiling painted as night sky. In other old interview she also said she has a massive topiary rabbit and chimney all inside her Nashville apartment. I also would say to her face WHAT A MIND! 😂

She's a quirky girl! Her Nashville apartment sounds amazing and I'd love to explore it. I think her kitchen is my favourite - all the unique designs on the units and the bright colours.

What a mind indeed! If she hadn't become a megastar, there's no doubt in my mind she'd still be doing something quirky and creative. Hers would probably be the adverts/marketing concepts that went viral and won dozens of awards!

Buxus sempervirens ‘Green Mountain’: A Versatile Evergreen Shrub for UK Gardens

Title: Buxus sempervirens ‘Green Mountain’: A Versatile Evergreen Shrub for UK Gardens

Introduction: In the realm of garden design, the evergreen shrub holds a special place. Providing year-round structure, color, and texture, these plants are essential for creating a visually appealing landscape. Among the plethora of options available, Buxus sempervirens ‘Green Mountain’ stands out as a versatile and dependable choice, particularly well-suited for UK gardens. In this article, we’ll delve into the characteristics, care, and creative uses of this remarkable shrub.

Characteristics: Buxus sempervirens, commonly known as boxwood, is cherished for its dense foliage and compact growth habit. ‘Green Mountain’ is a cultivar renowned for its upright, pyramidal shape, which sets it apart from other varieties of boxwood. Its glossy, dark green leaves provide an elegant backdrop to any garden, maintaining their color throughout the year. With a moderate growth rate, ‘Green Mountain’ can reach a height of up to 5 feet and a width of 2 to 3 feet, making it ideal for hedges, borders, or as a standalone specimen.

Care: One of the reasons for the popularity of Buxus sempervirens ‘Green Mountain’ is its low-maintenance nature. However, a few key care practices ensure its health and vitality:

Sunlight and Soil: ‘Green Mountain’ thrives in partial to full sunlight, though it can tolerate some shade. It prefers well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot, especially in areas with heavy clay soil.

Watering: While established plants are drought-tolerant, regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells or in containers. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as excessive moisture can lead to fungal diseases.

Pruning: Pruning is crucial to maintaining the desired shape and density of ‘Green Mountain’. Early spring is the ideal time for pruning, before new growth emerges. Trim lightly to encourage branching and a compact form, but avoid severe pruning, as it may take longer for the plant to recover its shape.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilization, as it can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of density.

Creative Uses: The versatility of Buxus sempervirens ‘Green Mountain’ makes it a valuable asset in various garden settings:

Formal Hedges: The dense foliage and neat, upright growth habit of ‘Green Mountain’ make it an excellent choice for formal hedges. Plant them in a row with consistent spacing to create a defined boundary or to outline pathways and garden beds.

Topiary: With its compact form and responsive growth, ‘Green Mountain’ lends itself well to topiary designs. Sculpt it into geometric shapes, spirals, or traditional boxwood balls to add architectural interest to the garden.

Container Planting: Due to its manageable size and slow growth rate, ‘Green Mountain’ thrives in containers. Use it to frame entryways, adorn patios, or as a focal point on balconies and terraces. Ensure proper drainage and regular watering to prevent stress.

Mixed Borders: Pair ‘Green Mountain’ with flowering perennials, ornamental grasses, or other evergreen shrubs to create dynamic mixed borders. Its dark green foliage provides an elegant backdrop that enhances the colors and textures of companion plants.

Conclusion: Buxus sempervirens ‘Green Mountain’ is a versatile evergreen shrub that brings year-round beauty to UK gardens. With its compact, pyramidal form, glossy foliage, and low-maintenance nature, it's an ideal choice for hedges, topiary, containers, and mixed borders. By providing the right care and creative placement, gardeners can harness the timeless charm of this remarkable plant to enhance their outdoor spaces for years to come.
