Death is actually "inevitable", funny we all are not asked to feel charitable towards people who speed others towards it. I understand that the fire pit in the near distance seems less threatening than the numbers must go up beast chasing immediately at our heels. Understand but disagree.

Finding a local boardgame group and getting outdoor faucets for garden and fire pit are both greater mental boosters than I realized before yesterday 🎵🎉

Finally opened up the gauche kit mom helped me get half a year ago. Photo study. Weather has been ridiculously amazing in Arkansas last couple of days. Unsure if false fall or real fall but I will take it! Photo taken last year in CO.

Sketch night doodle, immersed for a few hours in nostalgia-inducing nerd chatters about DnD and jokes/stories about the industry from a highly problematic but also in some ways purer time.

Lunch sketch group sketch. Getting the itch for pencil drawings again - been kind of slowly falling out of digital paintings since the AI pocalypse

Becoming a soup person due to the overwhelming need of eating up garden vegetables as well as the pure deliciousness.

In OG WoW, I loved running around in Un'goro Crater hunting and skinning everything as a happy little hunter. So I really enjoyed painting the signature card version of Restore the Wild for Hearthstone's The Lost City expansion. Many thanks to the AD Jim Nelson and the team. ©Blizzard Entertainment

The last piece of gear of Night Hunter of Hornworms, Head Net of Protection from Mosquitoes +1, is now ready in my deployment menu. Tried out the black light last night & caught 6 of those buggers poised to decimate humanity/tomatoes. Next time there will be less void debuff of buzzing & biting.

Just a little over a week into growing, the pea sprouts are ready for first harvest. Looking forward to having some fresh greens tonight!

Father’s Day delivery to my dad, then today’s haul. The smaller rounder brown sugar tomatoes taste reminiscent of a really tasty tomato variety we used to enjoy as fruit in NE China when I was a kid, as I hoped.

This is the first time we stayed home for 3 weeks (and going!) in a row since we started the moving process. Posting some garden updates: tomatoes, bell pepper are getting big. Eggplants and cucumbers are starting to form.
