Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

🌱The Impromptu Bed. We needed a spot to put some perennials 3 years ago. And now we have to provide some winter protection for a handful of dahlias.
Left side is the bedraggled soggy mess. The right shows the same bed, that’s been cut back and mulched, and now covered in frost cloth.

🌱So… as @heralyn.bsky.social was potting up 300 spring bulbs, I was tasked with placement. The potted dahlias are gone, camellias brought forth, and some bulb pots to await the warmth of spring.
Last year’s pots are under the eaves on the driveway side. They’ll be rotated in once things kick off.

🌱The patio wrap completed for this year. This is an open-on-2-sides patio with a translucent plastic roof. We close it in and use it as a heat sink or large cold frame for some of our potted plants.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

If someone knits or crochets you a blanket or sweater, they want to keep you warm AND they dedicated many hours of their lives to making it for you.
There's no profit in fiber arts, not when you can get a machine made at Target for 30 bucks. So know fiber artists making for you? Is an act of love.

Bulb order? Spring? Uh… yeah…
This is the list of 280 new bulbs (tulips, iris, narcissis, hyacinths) from one of our orders. We bought a mass of terracotta earlier this summer in preparation for this.
Each spring, it’s a new show. Plus, we’ll add last year’s pots to the group. 🌱

A bit of sunshine came out over the weekend. This camellia is putting on a nice show in the front patio area. Gives us a lift to see such flowers with winter approaching. 🌱

“But that’s just as bad,” protested Milo.
“You mean just as good,” corrected the Humbug. “Things which are equally bad are also equally good. Try to look at the bright side of things.”
