I hate them.

The city has finally gotten around to fixing the curb where they took out the 100 y.o. ash tree last year. This is some of the roots from the old beast.🌱

Standard city curb for scale.

Two layers of tree root that are at least 6 inches across.

Not completely. We still don't have access to Canvas.

I thought of you this weekend. I had to dig a trench to plant the last of my tulips, so I bought 45 daffodils on clearance to fill up the space.🤣

As long as they keep blooming, I'm going to keep posting.🌱

Clockwise from top left: a pink dahlia with faintly striped petals named Karma Prospero, a bright red dahlia named Red Labyrinth, a flame toned dahlia named Sandman, and a Patel orange/red/purple dahlia named Labyrinth.

Also, some blurry succulents in the background and my fossilized pet fish.

Thank you for writing it!

I hope you love Spear as much as I did. It's a mind-blower.

The most recent absolutely perfect book I've read was The River Has Roots by @amalelmohtar.com. Without checking actual dates, the other one that comes to mind is The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez.

I recently read and loved We Speak Through the Mountain by @premeemohamed.com, Never Say You Can't Survive by @charliejane.bsky.social, and The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley. Make your life better and read them all.

Absolutely right. This is why we constantly say that if you love a book/author please please please tell people about it.

I would have finished, but my last shipment of bulbs (nectaroscordum and drumstick alliums) won't get here until Monday. Come on people, work with me here and anticipate my individual desires!

Nearly got the fall planting finished today. Daylilies, crocuses, and bluebells put in their holes. I had to dig a trench for some tulips (I cover them with a buried layer of chicken wire to thwart the squirrels), so I picked up a clearance bag of 45 mixed double daffodils to toss in with them.🌱
