My husband and I had a native garden designer come out over the winter to create a plan for us and it’s time to get started. Our home’s previous two owners were shortish term and they did zero maintenance of any kind to the gardens of the long-term owners before them, meaning it is time for: The Great De-Minting of 2024

(all of this green you see is a single monstrous Apple Mint plant. believe it or not, there are Ground Violets hanging on underneath.)

there are a minimum of two (2) Toads in here and they seem to be torn between irritation at my removal of the Apple Mint and delight at the plethora of uncovered grubs

what’s the etiquette when your introduction post needs an update, do I edit the original or make a new one (I want to edit because I’m not new but I’m embarrassed of pinging the people who boosted pfpfpf)

I was so happy when a Mockingbird moved in, but now the sunovabitch is hogging the feeders and chasing literally everyone away all day long, so now I have to start a war

this includes the feeder they’re too big for, obviously

“To define another being as an inert or passive object is to deny its ability to actively engage us and to provoke our senses; we thus block our perceptual reciprocity with that being. By linguistically defining the surrounding world as a determinate set of objects, we cut our conscious, speaking selves off from the spontaneous life of our sensing bodies.”

sometimes you get your friends The Mushroom Oracle for Belated Christmas, but then they both already have The Mushroom Oracle and you didn’t know, and then also one bought the other The Mushroom Oracle as well, and that’s how The Mushroom Oracle behaves like spores

incidentally I now own a copy of The Mushroom Oracle

OK. GO DO IT. GO GET HEALTH INSURANCE.

No, first, take out the compost. Then, while the chickens are distracted, get the eggs. Then make incense offerings to Mars, THEN get health insurance.
