Trying to avoid websites where ppl post opinions as facts telling you why something is so exciting (sorry, but realistic animations of historical works of art is boring & kinda gross)
Anyway, making an effort to draw real tangible things, which I do enjoy. Trust the process. Enjoy the process

The foliage in the garden has been looking lovely since it rained last week 🌱
Shame it can't rain more often. I'm sure it used to

I would be filled with glee if it was called BrigaDune
But it's not, so I'm just not that bothered 🤷🏽♀️

People should give me a disproportionate amount of credit for doing work rather than sitting watching bees & cinnabar moths all day 🌱

Repotted 3 acers today (squeezing it in before the leaves have opened 😬) & decided I should probably start weight lifting (potted trees are heavy) 🙄
The cherry blossoms are also so lovely right now. Kojo-no-mai is an absolutely perfect tree for a small garden 🌱

My books spreadsheet has fun/morbid data on how many times I can re-read all the books I own, or how many new books I could read after finishing reading my existing tbr list, if I have average life expectancy... yay

Wah!!! It's a bird bonanza on the bird feeders today. We've had Goldfinches (first time I've seen them in the garden), Blue Tits, Great Tits, Starlings & a Woodpecker 😃
(also a Magpie that chased a lot of the birds away 😠)
Here's a bad shot of the woodpecker in an oak tree

It's only a Family Pack Fireplace if it speaks in French, otherwise it's just sparkling flame

Blueskyroast is apparently 99% not a roast.
Or I actually do manage to communicate in an encouraging manner.
Although it's mildly obsessed with the one time I posted about ducks...

Glad I waited for the storm winds to die down before insulating the greenhouse. It's quite cozy in there now 😊🌱
⭐ Also a REMINDER to keep your succulents somewhere cool & bright over Winter (rather than in a heated house with low light where they'll likely grow long, weak stems)

Successfully disappointed a lot of ducks today as we walked past a pond. A load of them got out to harass us for food, but promptly left when they realised all I had was a camera phone, so I didn't even manage to get any particularly good photos

Hello to all the lovely people who've joined and/or followed recently.
If you've followed me from Twitter I'm still happy to talk about succeeding & flourishing in healthy game dev careers. But equally how to accomplish cozy plant-witch librarian life goals

This exciting patch of grass is where I planted 90 crocus bulbs into the lawn today. Hopefully they'll all flower into a lovely pop of Spring colour next year 🤞🏽🌱

Some cute teeny, tiny mushrooms. They were so close to the ground that it was difficult to actually get them in shot & in focus.
They look so fuzzy up close :3

The entire month so far has been cloudy where I live.
While the light is flat & dreary, the trees are in full autumnal swing now ❤️

Went for a lovely, misty walk today. Pretty thick fog from on top of the hill. I found a fairy ring, and other fungi in the woods ❤️
