Can you spot the bunny? Sshhh. It’s hiding.
SSCS 01: Installment 26 of 31
Because the Desert is a Great, Broad Beast of Memory This is Installment 26 of this year’s SSCS. If you want to start at the beginning of ‘Because the Desert is a Great, Broad Beast of Memory’, go here! If you want to know what the heck an SSCS is, go here! Previously… The moon reaches its zenith, and the beetles’ song stops. And they burrow back down into the sand, returning to their leaves and petals, returning to the…
Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2023 week 25
See Previous | See Next This week a couple of my fancy roses have decided to bloom. I never get very many of those, but they are very pretty while they’re here. The one in the picture is El Catala. I might get one more bloom out of her (I have a very shady garden) or a rabbit or a squirrel might decide to eat it instead… Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years shows a bunch of roses that…

Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2023 week 24
See Previous | See Next This week has given us extremes, from raining buckets, to sunny-and-hot. Yucca flowers are some of my favorites, but always so sadly short-lived. And my roses might be slow to turn up this year, but some at least have a lot more buds than usual – I suppose they like being properly (rain) watered. Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years mostly gives hope of more roses – and also daisies coming soon. Looking back…
Happy Father’s Day!
This is a Father’s Day post! because my dad is great! I’m not very good at writing about things that are really important to me in a good way – my words get extra stilted for some reason. But that’s not a good reason not to tell you that my dad is great, and important to me, and I’m really proud to be his daughter. A quick sketch of my father can be summed up with three activities: I think…

Apparently flawed logic makes me nauseated. That…explains a lot, actually.
Weekly Garden Snapshot: 2023 week 23
See Previous | See Next This week my peony is trying to take over my garden by lounging all over every part of it that it can reach. The garden is way too big for such a thing to be possible but it’s still making an impressive attempt. Also, my bearded irises are still a no-show. But, in an interesting twist, I have surprise irises instead that last year I didn’t even know I was planting. I thought I was…

You know you don’t turn your compost heap often enough when there are thistles and irises growing up out of it.
