I live on Earth and I'm interested in it. I'm especially curious about the ways people here explain their lives to each other and organize and preserve those explanations: literature, science, art, history, religion, libraries, museums, all the treasures.

Monochromatic but varied, somehow restful, with always something to notice. I've had this print 1 month now & I like it better every time I see it.

Unripe fruit doesn't always develop when picked too soon. Still, a freeze was coming. Hoping for seeds, I collected 2 Passiflora pods. 1 is turning pink now, so maybe.
The smaller red berries are the last pre-freeze goji. Goji vines survived past freezes, but I was making sure.

This has been an interesting new thing for me: a little glass bowl with rocks, water, sprouts of Hemianthus callitrichoides ("cuba"), and sometimes bubbles. An unplanned acquisition, totally not what I was shopping for that day, but endlessly entertaining. I'm glad to have it.

Sometimes my chard seeds sprout with red or green stems; the current batch has bright yellow stems. If the stem colors relate to a difference in taste, I haven't noticed it. Yellow seems like an excellent choice for winter.

This green anole did not wake up friendly midafternoon today, which makes perfect sense to me. The insulation around a potted lemon tree probably made a great place to sleep in cold weather until I came along to unwrap it, uninvited & not even announced. A warm day is no excuse.

Other than the glue & paint, everything in this homemade doodle failed at its previous task:
bluebird patches never would stick to a backpack;
silvery hearts snapped off impossible shoes;
glass & malachite beads fell from broken necklaces.
Together now, they all seem better.

In my memory, this pavilion is mainly orange; looking at the photos now, I see many other colors. Maybe it's mainly green or red.
Sometimes I remember how calming this pavilion was in its quiet city park. I haven't been there for almost a year. It could be time to go again.

A bee was sniffing around a bit of white fluff on the ground this afternoon. I figured it was more junk blown in by the storm & I should pick it up. It was a lemon flower. The bee wasn't wrong, though probably disappointed. I left the flower there.

The red truck parks outside, so it experienced some weather. Over the smooth metal, the frozen coating is bumpy, I think because the frozen rain was so rough. Monday afternoon, as the first melt started, tips of icicles began falling, mixed with some leaves. It's all melted now.

This is blue because I painted a $1 cabinet door sample, once chalky white with many black smudges. Blue is better. It has a white cut-out tree design because I found & painted & glued it there. That's how my art is: I find odd things, shine them up a bit, stick them together.

Most of what grows in my garden has been there many years & I don't worry much about it in most weather, but this has been a strange winter. Friday, I brought in cuttings of several favorite vines to try rooting clones, in case the originals don't survive this big freeze.

Outside, still very frozen this afternoon & I haven't found a good reason to go out there. Inside, I spend a lot of time looking out the window, wondering what's happening outside.

Green tomatoes have a good, strong taste. They're easy to slice, interesting to look at, & I might like them better than red ones on pizza, though I enjoy both. I picked 12 more tiny green ones just now, before the coming weekend freeze.

I don't know how to weave but I admire those who do. Sometimes I wish I could do it, too.

Standing under it in daylight, this small solar-powered sun is just a glittery shape. In darkness, the path to get back under it is too rough for me but from a distance it shines bright orange, sometimes perfectly round, sometimes showing its shape. My hand moves, I think.

Preparing for tonight's freeze (warning, anyway; I want to believe) means I collected all the green tomatoes I could get from my garden. It's enough to do something with. Probably I'll slice them up to bake on pizza.

I didn't see the squirrel do it. These lightbulbs are probably fine; I'll find another place to use them. The outdoor lights stopped working because a squirrel chewed through the electrical wire connecting them. Allegedly.

Coreopsis in my garden should be asleep, not awake & flowering Jan 15. Flowers often disregard my opinions, especially about scheduling, but I'm starting to suspect that they don't listen at all.
