330/365.
A drawing of a hand throwing "the horns." At the tip of the index finger and pinky is another hand throwing "the horns". The tips of the extended fingers on those hands have another hand throwing "the horns." This pattern continues. At the top in a pseudo "blackletter" font is the word "FRACTAL" with unnecessary umlauts over both "A"s. There is wear on the image, as if it were an old LP jacket.

Where did he come from?
How long has he been there?
Why is he so wet?
Is someone going to clean it up?
A wet, light green blob with little splatters around it. It is staring at the viewer with open mouth. Below it, in light beige blobby, wet, splattered letters is the text "SPILLBOY".

325/365. "Moab Man."
A long-torsoed creature. It has two toes on each foot. In the center of the chest is a screaming mouth. The arms are straight out (scarecrow-style), with one arm bent up at the elbow and the other down. From a hole at in the top of the torso is a long, taffy-like cord holding up a small brain. From the brain are two antlers and two eyes hanging down from a twisted mass of nerves.

321/365. More petroglyph guys.
A blob figure wearing white clogs. Most of its torso is an open mouth; inside that mouth is another figure. Growing out of the main figure's left arm is a third figure. It is drinking from a straw that is plunged into the main figure's arm. The third figure has three pairs of long nipples and is wearing white athletic socks with red stripes. The main figure and the tongue figure are waving at the viewer.

We've had a couple of freezes now; I think my garden is done. I thought I'd bore everyone with photos of some of what it has produced, in chronological order!

Seven radishes in a sink.

313/365. Pretty, pretty dance! Pretty, pretty, pretty dance!
A derelict cousin of The Prince from the Katamari video games. He has an open and slightly crushed beer can as headgear, a stained and too-small undershirt, stained briefs, and stained athletic socks. He is pushing a bowling ball and appears either hungover or still a little drunk.

Y'all want some bawled orsters?
8oz cans of Pampa Boiled Oysters in a discount grocery store. A 3"x5" lined index card with "Orsters cans 2 For 100" written on it is taped to the shelf.
