Annual trip to the greenhouse today, look at these awesome 'galaxy' petunias!

Same as previous, but in dimmer lighting and closer for detail.

Idea:

Bookstores should group fantasy with horror instead of scifi. Both fantasy and horror are purely creations of the author's mind; scifi is tethered to factual information.

If you need to group scifi, I'd put it with mysteries and thrillers.

@Uair @benetnasch @bookstodon I think it depends on the amount of world building for the story. If it’s just a story about a haunted house then not so much, but if that house then contains a parallel universe in which a child gets to confront her fears and question her place in the world as in a book like Coraline, then totally different thing to write.

Genres are there as shortcuts for readers but it doesn’t mean that the worlds can’t be original and challenge the tropes of that genre. Instead of having a rickety old haunted house maybe it’s a brand new apartment block in a city. Also doesn’t mean the characters can’t question the structure of society or experience complicated emotions. I think the key here it’s to convey a story as clearly and as simply as possible and that can be hard in any genre.

Last year I saved Nigella Love in a Mist seeds to replant. It turns out I didn’t need to save any seed because the Nigella has gone rogue (but in the nicest way possible). I love how some flowers are single and some are double. Anyone know why? Is it just natural variation?

I went on a walk this morning, and when I get home my husband says, "Make sure to take the rocks out of your pockets before they go in the laundry!"

He knows me so well, lol 😂

@Cat_LeFey 😄 I have the same problem with acorns. It’s lovely when you reach your hands into a pocket of a jacket and you find one that you forgot was there.

Woke up with a fever, so my Beltane celebrations will be subdued, oh well. I am still absolutely giddy at seeing the little baby leaves erupt from the trees and the daffodils in their full glory.

Wishing a blessed to all my fellow Pagans conjuring summer in!

So @ahermitforhire told me about his relatives in years past having coke and corn nuts. So I thought I’d give it a whirl. Honestly, I really like it!

Some foal pictures from my walk the other lunchtime at the horse park. This is a Percheron foal and he’s huuuuuuuge! At least 14hh. He’s on loan right now. He’s losing his foally soft coat right now. A quick guide to foal body language, the expression in the second photo is ‘Arghh my butt is unbelievable itchy. I just need to rub it on something.’ I would have rubbed his back with my fingernails to loosen some hair, but you’re not really meant to pet the horses (I do anyway shhh) but having an itchy foal using me as a scratching post would probably politely get me kicked out. Sorry dude maybe your mom will scratch your back later!

Foal standing in pen. Itchy foal is itchy. That moment when you have an itchy butt but you can’t scratch because you’re in polite company.
