Winter's Setting Sun

Having outlived our old world long ago with heads bowed, we yet walk alone slowly fading into winter's setting sun seeking a better place to call our own Falling through her blustery darkness remembering a time we were not blind and the love we cherished now long ago praying one new day might be so kind

IDK if I'm phrasing this correctly, but in my brain, Vasco is, like, the personification (caninification?) of an afternoon chilling on a back porch swing.

FEAST, MY CARNIVOROUS DAUGHTER!!!! FEAST!!!!!!

This is Rosie. She is named for the color of her mouths and also for - well, IYKYK.

My cousin is super into carnivorous plants (like, he goes to shows and has won awards for his plants), and inspired me to get some of my own. I have a sundew and a sarracenia coming in the mail but in the meanwhile I did purchase one (1) venus fly trap death tube from a big box store because I always thought they were very cool as a kid and I'm determined to keep it alive now.

Apparently they're literally only native to specific regions of North/South Carolina, which does make me feel patriotic. Also apparently, they evolved to be carnivorous in part because the water they usually are in naturally is extremely pure and low in nutrients, which is also why you have to water them with distilled/DI/RO water or else they fucking die. Also, if you feed them a bug (or high quality crushed betta pellets, which are mostly black soldier fly larvae anyway), you have to gently massage the trap a little bit after it closes to trick it into staying closed as a living bug inside would, or else it will open back up within a few hours or days!

Anyway, I murdered a house fly and a couple of mosquitos and fed them to my new child. Try to eat me? Get eaten, bitch. Circle of life.

Daily Doc Doodle! This one took about an hour and a half. The daily poem attached to this one is: Early Frost by Scott Cairn

Full poem under the cut!

This morning the world’s white face reminds us that life intends to become serious again. And the same loud birds that all summer long annoyed us with their high attitudes and chatter silently line the gibbet of the fence a little stunned, chastened enough. They look as if they’re waiting for things to grow worse, but are watching the house, as if somewhere in their dim memories they recall something about this abandoned garden that could save them. The neighbor’s dog has also learned to wake without exaggeration. And the neighbor himself has made it to his car with less noise, starting the small engine with a kind of reverence. At the window his wife witnesses this bleak tableau, blinking her eyes, silent. I fill the feeders to the top and cart them to the tree, hurrying back inside to leave the morning to these ridiculous birds, who, reminded, find the rough shelters, bow, and then feed.

i found a book abt the anti lawn movement at the library & decided to sit out in my yard & read it. but ironically there was a neverending barage of power tool noises making it difficult to focus. so i walked to a nature park near me in order to escape the dreaded sounds. almost stopped at the mowed picnic table area bc i hate walking but fortunately pushed forward and made myself walk up an annoying hill to an area that is a preservation of a native oak savanna & sat down against a tree near the edge of the path & did my reading there. and honest to god that was a 100/10 experience. there was something so powerful abt being in a preserve for a locally native habitat while reading abt the impacts homeowners can have on native plant preservation! it powered up my energy towards my life mission (evangelize abt enviormentally sustainable gardening to every single person who comes within a 10 ft radius of me) by like. 15 points. also a deer walked up to me and that was super cool

Apparently the northern lights are gonna get more and more frequent and intense over the next couple of years (they're on an 11-year cycle as far as i understand. something with the sun?)

We don't get them super often as far south as Denmark, so I'm pretty excited about it. Might plan a few winter-night trips to a beach outside the city away from the light pollution or something. I'd love to see it :)

Like check out these fuckin pics people submitted to a news site after last night's display (which I totally missed, like an idiot)

Seasonal deprression is the emotional equivalent to your least favorite roommate inviting their out of town family to come stay with you for an undetermined amount of time.

Not significantly worse than before, but somehow, significantly more irritating.

sun setting at 7 oh god just put me down

[miathealrighty]

this "dark at 5pm" thing is something I absolutely vibe with and my house plants absolutely do not.

[champagnemoon]

knowing that my next manicure will be Cherry Mocha and the sun will be setting at 6pm soon>>
