Art by the talented @ambriolett02 ! As always, beautiful work!

As you all know, I am currently writing a fanfiction involving a gaggle of skeletons. I wanted to get some art to best represent how I envisioned them and I found the perfect artist to bring my vision to life! Thank you again for working with me and getting the four to look exactly how I wanted!

I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and talent!

From left to right here are the characters from Replanting Roots and their names along with which AU they are from. Below a height chart will be included as well for them.

Cedar (HT Ppayrus), Hickory (HT Sans), Sable (SF Sans), Hickory (SF Paps).

Chapter Four is almost completed. Expect it to be posted by this weekend after I get it approved by my beta reader.

Composting turns your kitchen scraps and yard waste into striking garden gold while keeping all that good stuff out of landfills. You don’t have to try those fancy store compost bins with their crazy price tags. Take some old wooden pallets from the backyard to build your compost bin. The wooden pallets are super sturdy, easy to find for free, and they’ve got all those gaps for air to flow through, which my compost pile absolutely loves. The DIY pallet bin is such a game-changer! It’s not that you saved a bunch of money, but it’s fascinating to repurpose material that might have ended up in the trash. You can start with a single bin or upgrade to a three-bin composting system to revolutionize composting. Put fresh scraps in the first bin, the halfway-done stuff in the middle bin, and beautiful finished compost in the third. It’s like an assembly line for decomposition. Let’s now look at the step-by-step method of making your composting bin. How to Choose the Right Pallets for Your Compost Bin? To prevent pest infestations and diseases, consider these key factors before creating your composting bin. Safe and Untreated Wood When selecting pallets for composting, prioritize safety. Look for pallets stamped with “HT” (heat-treated) and avoid those marked “MB” (methyl bromide) since chemically treated wood can leach harmful substances into compost. Also, steer clear of painted or stained pallets, as these finishes may introduce toxins into your soil. Also Read: How to Use Mushroom Compost in Raised Beds? Durability Softwood pallets tend to break down quickly when exposed to moisture, reducing the lifespan of your compost bin. Instead, opt for hardwood or naturally rot-resistant wood like cedar, which can withstand outdoor conditions for years without requiring frequent replacement. Ideal Size and Design Standard 4×4 feet pallets are the best choice for easy assembly and a well-structured bin. The slatted design of most pallets is perfect for composting, as the gaps allow for proper airflow, which speeds up decomposition and prevents odors. Free from containments Pallets previously used for transporting chemicals, oils, or hazardous materials may contaminate your compost. If you’re unsure of their history, scrutinize them and clean them before use to reduce any risks. By selecting safe, durable, and well-sized pallets, you can build a long-lasting compost bin that promotes healthy composting and enriches your garden for years to come. Also Read: Can I Compost Egg Cartons? How to Build a Compost Bin with Pallets? Making your composting bin may demand a small fortune and lots of time. But, as a sustainable gardener, it’s fascinating to reuse things that may end up in landfills. Those who build pallet composting bins appreciate how these structures allow proper airflow while providing a sturdy framework that costs little or nothing. Local businesses often give away pallets for free, making this an eco-friendly project that repurposes materials that might otherwise end up in landfills. You can make a single compost bin or a three-bin system. It all depends on your gardening requirements. Materials 7 to 9 wooden pallets (untreated and stamped “HT” for heat-treated) Wood screws or nails Wire mesh or chicken wire (optional) Rebar or wooden stakes Hinges (optional for doors) How to Make: Unlike a multi-bin system, this design is compact, making it perfect for small gardens or those new to composting. By using wooden pallets, you can create a sturdy, well-ventilated bin that helps organic material break down efficiently. Start by choosing a flat, well-drained area with partial shade to prevent the compost from drying out. Stand one pallet upright to form the back wall and place two pallets on each side. Secure them together with screws or nails, reinforcing the corners with wooden stakes if needed. For the front, you can either leave it open for easy access or attach a fourth pallet to enclose the bin. If using a front pallet, you can secure it fully, cut it in half for a shorter barrier, or attach it with hinges for a swinging door. Once the structure is stable, consider lining the inside with wire mesh to improve airflow and prevent material from spilling out. Check this: Is Shredded Paper Good for Compost? How to Build a Three-Bin Compost System? A three-bin compost system is an efficient way to manage organic waste, making it ideal for gardeners who need a continuous supply of compost. Unlike a single-bin system, a three-bin setup separates compost into different stages, allowing you to add fresh materials, turn partially decomposed compost, and store finished compost—all in one organized space. Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Three-Bin Compost System Step 1: Choose the Right Location Pick a flat, well-drained area that gets some shade to prevent the compost from drying out. The space should be at least 9 to 12 feet wide and 3 to 4 feet deep to accommodate the three-bin setup. Ensure it is easily accessible so you can add materials and turn compost without hassle. Step 2: Build the Back Wall The back wall provides structural support for the entire system. Stand three pallets upright, side by side, to form a long back wall. Secure them together with wood screws or nails. For extra support, drive wooden stakes or rebar behind the pallets to anchor them in place. Step 3: Attach the Side Walls The side walls define the bin structure. Position two more pallets, one at each end, to form the left and right walls. Attach them to the back wall using screws or nails. If the structure wobbles, reinforce the corners with stakes or brackets. Step 4: Install the Dividers The dividers create three separate composting sections. Place two additional pallets vertically between the bins to divide them. Secure them to the back wall and side walls using screws or nails. If desired, add wire mesh inside the dividers to keep materials contained while allowing airflow. Step 5: Add the Front Panels For the front, you have several options: Leave the front open for easy compost access. Attach removable pallets with hinges to create swinging doors for each section. Use half pallets as short barriers to keep compost contained while allowing easy turning. Step 6: Reinforce the Structure Check all screws and nails to ensure the structure is secure. If necessary, add extra wooden stakes at the corners for additional support. If your area experiences strong winds, anchor the bin further with stakes driven into the ground.

Maintain a balance of greens (nitrogen-rich materials) and browns (carbon-rich materials). Occasionally, mix the contents and ensure they remain moist but not soggy. Second Bin – Decomposing Waste Once the first bin is full, transfer the partially decomposed materials here. Turn the compost every 1-2 weeks to speed up the breakdown. The compost will darken and start resembling rich soil. Third Bin – Finished Compost This bin holds fully decomposed, nutrient-rich compost. Once the compost is dark, crumbly, and has an earthy smell, it’s ready for use. Sift the compost to remove large, un-decomposed pieces and return them to the first bin. By keeping materials separated into different stages, this system ensures a continuous supply of rich compost while maintaining an organized composting process. With proper care and regular turning, you’ll have high-quality compost ready to nourish your garden year-round. Must Read: Can I Put Old Potting Soil in My Compost?

How to Build a Three-Bin Compost System? A three-bin compost system is an efficient way to manage organic waste, making it ideal for gardeners who need a continuous supply of compost. Unlike a single-bin system, a three-bin setup separates compost into different stages, allowing you to add fresh materials, turn partially decomposed compost, and store finished compost—all in one organized space. Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Three-Bin Compost System Step 1: Choose the Right Location Pick a flat, well-drained area that gets some shade to prevent the compost from drying out. The space should be at least 9 to 12 feet wide and 3 to 4 feet deep to accommodate the three-bin setup. Ensure it is easily accessible so you can add materials and turn compost without hassle. Step 2: Build the Back Wall The back wall provides structural support for the entire system. Stand three pallets upright, side by side, to form a long back wall. Secure them together with wood screws or nails. For extra support, drive wooden stakes or rebar behind the pallets to anchor them in place. Step 3: Attach the Side Walls The side walls define the bin structure. Position two more pallets, one at each end, to form the left and right walls. Attach them to the back wall using screws or nails. If the structure wobbles, reinforce the corners with stakes or brackets. Step 4: Install the Dividers The dividers create three separate composting sections. Place two additional pallets vertically between the bins to divide them. Secure them to the back wall and side walls using screws or nails. If desired, add wire mesh inside the dividers to keep materials contained while allowing airflow. Step 5: Add the Front Panels For the front, you have several options: Leave the front open for easy compost access. Attach removable pallets with hinges to create swinging doors for each section. Use half pallets as short barriers to keep compost contained while allowing easy turning. Step 6: Reinforce the Structure Check all screws and nails to ensure the structure is secure. If necessary, add extra wooden stakes at the corners for additional support. If your area experiences strong winds, anchor the bin further with stakes driven into the ground.

Second Bin – Decomposing Waste Once the first bin is full, transfer the partially decomposed materials here. Turn the compost every 1-2 weeks to speed up the breakdown. The compost will darken and start resembling rich soil. Third Bin – Finished Compost This bin holds fully decomposed, nutrient-rich compost. Once the compost is dark, crumbly, and has an earthy smell, it’s ready for use. Sift the compost to remove large, un-decomposed pieces and return them to the first bin. By keeping materials separated into different stages, this system ensures a continuous supply of rich compost while maintaining an organized composting process.

Composting turns your kitchen scraps and yard waste into striking garden gold while keeping all that good stuff out of landfills. You don’t have to try those fancy store compost bins with their crazy price tags. Take some old wooden pallets from the backyard to build your compost bin. The wooden pallets are super sturdy, easy to find for free, and they’ve got all those gaps for air to flow through, which my compost pile absolutely loves. The DIY pallet bin is such a game-changer! It’s not that you saved a bunch of money, but it’s fascinating to repurpose material that might have ended up in the trash. You can start with a single bin or upgrade to a three-bin composting system to revolutionize composting. Put fresh scraps in the first bin, the halfway-done stuff in the middle bin, and beautiful finished compost in the third. It’s like an assembly line for decomposition. Let’s now look at the step-by-step method of making your composting bin. How to Choose the Right Pallets for Your Compost Bin? To prevent pest infestations and diseases, consider these key factors before creating your composting bin. Safe and Untreated Wood When selecting pallets for composting, prioritize safety. Look for pallets stamped with “HT” (heat-treated) and avoid those marked “MB” (methyl bromide) since chemically treated wood can leach harmful substances into compost. Also, steer clear of painted or stained pallets, as these finishes may introduce toxins into your soil. Also Read: How to Use Mushroom Compost in Raised Beds? Durability Softwood pallets tend to break down quickly when exposed to moisture, reducing the lifespan of your compost bin. Instead, opt for hardwood or naturally rot-resistant wood like cedar, which can withstand outdoor conditions for years without requiring frequent replacement. Ideal Size and Design Standard 4×4 feet pallets are the best choice for easy assembly and a well-structured bin. The slatted design of most pallets is perfect for composting, as the gaps allow for proper airflow, which speeds up decomposition and prevents odors. Free from containments Pallets previously used for transporting chemicals, oils, or hazardous materials may contaminate your compost. If you’re unsure of their history, scrutinize them and clean them before use to reduce any risks. By selecting safe, durable, and well-sized pallets, you can build a long-lasting compost bin that promotes healthy composting and enriches your garden for years to come. Also Read: Can I Compost Egg Cartons? How to Build a Compost Bin with Pallets? Making your composting bin may demand a small fortune and lots of time. But, as a sustainable gardener, it’s fascinating to reuse things that may end up in landfills. Those who build pallet composting bins appreciate how these structures allow proper airflow while providing a sturdy framework that costs little or nothing. Local businesses often give away pallets for free, making this an eco-friendly project that repurposes materials that might otherwise end up in landfills. You can make a single compost bin or a three-bin system. It all depends on your gardening requirements. Materials 7 to 9 wooden pallets (untreated and stamped “HT” for heat-treated) Wood screws or nails Wire mesh or chicken wire (optional) Rebar or wooden stakes Hinges (optional for doors) How to Make: Unlike a multi-bin system, this design is compact, making it perfect for small gardens or those new to composting. By using wooden pallets, you can create a sturdy, well-ventilated bin that helps organic material break down efficiently. Start by choosing a flat, well-drained area with partial shade to prevent the compost from drying out. Stand one pallet upright to form the back wall and place two pallets on each side. Secure them together with screws or nails, reinforcing the corners with wooden stakes if needed. For the front, you can either leave it open for easy access or attach a fourth pallet to enclose the bin.

Those who build pallet composting bins appreciate how these structures allow proper airflow while providing a sturdy framework that costs little or nothing. Local businesses often give away pallets for free, making this an eco-friendly project that repurposes materials that might otherwise end up in landfills. You can make a single compost bin or a three-bin system. It all depends on your gardening requirements. Materials 7 to 9 wooden pallets (untreated and stamped “HT” for heat-treated) Wood screws or nails Wire mesh or chicken wire (optional) Rebar or wooden stakes Hinges (optional for doors) How to Make: Unlike a multi-bin system, this design is compact, making it perfect for small gardens or those new to composting. By using wooden pallets, you can create a sturdy, well-ventilated bin that helps organic material break down efficiently. Start by choosing a flat, well-drained area with partial shade to prevent the compost from drying out. Stand one pallet upright to form the back wall and place two pallets on each side. Secure them together with screws or nails, reinforcing the corners with wooden stakes if needed. For the front, you can either leave it open for easy access or attach a fourth pallet to enclose the bin. If using a front pallet, you can secure it fully, cut it in half for a shorter barrier, or attach it with hinges for a swinging door. Once the structure is stable, consider lining the inside with wire mesh to improve airflow and prevent material from spilling out. Check this: Is Shredded Paper Good for Compost? How to Build a Three-Bin Compost System? A three-bin compost system is an efficient way to manage organic waste, making it ideal for gardeners who need a continuous supply of compost. Unlike a single-bin system, a three-bin setup separates compost into different stages, allowing you to add fresh materials, turn partially decomposed compost, and store finished compost—all in one organized space. Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Three-Bin Compost System Step 1: Choose the Right Location Pick a flat, well-drained area that gets some shade to prevent the compost from drying out. The space should be at least 9 to 12 feet wide and 3 to 4 feet deep to accommodate the three-bin setup. Ensure it is easily accessible so you can add materials and turn compost without hassle. Step 2: Build the Back Wall The back wall provides structural support for the entire system. Stand three pallets upright, side by side, to form a long back wall. Secure them together with wood screws or nails. For extra support, drive wooden stakes or rebar behind the pallets to anchor them in place. Step 3: Attach the Side Walls The side walls define the bin structure. Position two more pallets, one at each end, to form the left and right walls. Attach them to the back wall using screws or nails. If the structure wobbles, reinforce the corners with stakes or brackets. Step 4: Install the Dividers The dividers create three separate composting sections. Place two additional pallets vertically between the bins to divide them. Secure them to the back wall and side walls using screws or nails. If desired, add wire mesh inside the dividers to keep materials contained while allowing airflow. Step 5: Add the Front Panels For the front, you have several options: Leave the front open for easy compost access. Attach removable pallets with hinges to create swinging doors for each section. Use half pallets as short barriers to keep compost contained while allowing easy turning. Step 6: Reinforce the Structure Check all screws and nails to ensure the structure is secure. If necessary, add extra wooden stakes at the corners for additional support. If your area experiences strong winds, anchor the bin further with stakes driven into the ground.

Second Bin – Decomposing Waste Once the first bin is full, transfer the partially decomposed materials here. Turn the compost every 1-2 weeks to speed up the breakdown. The compost will darken and start resembling rich soil. Third Bin – Finished Compost This bin holds fully decomposed, nutrient-rich compost. Once the compost is dark, crumbly, and has an earthy smell, it’s ready for use. Sift the compost to remove large, un-decomposed pieces and return them to the first bin. By keeping materials separated into different stages, this system ensures a continuous supply of rich compost while maintaining an organized composting process.

Composting turns your kitchen scraps and yard waste into striking garden gold while keeping all that good stuff out of landfills. You don’t have to try those fancy store compost bins with their crazy price tags. Take some old wooden pallets from the backyard to build your compost bin. The wooden pallets are super sturdy, easy to find for free, and they’ve got all those gaps for air to flow through, which my compost pile absolutely loves. The DIY pallet bin is such a game-changer! It’s not that you saved a bunch of money, but it’s fascinating to repurpose material that might have ended up in the trash. You can start with a single bin or upgrade to a three-bin composting system to revolutionize composting. Put fresh scraps in the first bin, the halfway-done stuff in the middle bin, and beautiful finished compost in the third. It’s like an assembly line for decomposition. Let’s now look at the step-by-step method of making your composting bin. How to Choose the Right Pallets for Your Compost Bin? To prevent pest infestations and diseases, consider these key factors before creating your composting bin. Safe and Untreated Wood When selecting pallets for composting, prioritize safety. Look for pallets stamped with “HT” (heat-treated) and avoid those marked “MB” (methyl bromide) since chemically treated wood can leach harmful substances into compost. Also, steer clear of painted or stained pallets, as these finishes may introduce toxins into your soil. Also Read: How to Use Mushroom Compost in Raised Beds?

Some moodboard thingies I made for a few of my DnD characters! I’m working on some more but I need motivation 😭

The Pink one is Karin, basically Sleeping Beauty with a blood lust! She also had a valley girl accent because I said so.

The Green one is for my first ever character Gale. The original campaign he’s from was heavily abusive and toxic, but I still like him a lot. He’s Gawain’s son and was raised as a potential but not likely heir to the throne. Then everyone else died. King by default!

The Red one is a turned vampire named Dante who is 110% inspired by King Sombra from MLP, especially the theory of what happened to him and Chrysalis.

I also made ref sheets because I LOOOOOVE customization options!!

🗣️🇮🇹Descrizione i Dominio 🗣️🇮🇹

Chateau Deumié situato nel comune di Ventenac Cabardès, composto da 70 ettari di bosco e querce da tartufo e 30 ettari di vigneto, Chateau Deumié è una tenuta ricca di storia da anni. In passato “Deumié” era il nome del sindaco del Borgo. Situato non lontano dalla Montagna Nera, dista 10 km dalla città di Carcassonne, circondato da foreste e laghi. Qui, le viti e i loro terroir producono un vino dal carattere unico. Il vigneto più occidentale della Linguadoca-Rossiglione, il più orientale del sud-ovest, il territorio del Cabardès si distingue per la qualità del suo terroir e la bellezza dei paesaggi.

È un ambiente di macchia esposto al crocevia dei venti dell'est e dell'ovest. Il paesaggio collinare dei Pechs regala una vista mozzafiato sui Pirenei. Il suo passato marino e lagunare conferisce alle sue colline l'emblematico calcare lacustico e marnoso caratteristici del suo terroir.

Questa è tutta la ricchezza della denominazione Cabardès, un terroir che unisce vitigni mediterranei e oceanici.
