Asha's generosity is never optional.

Asha plucked the shirt off the rack, along with a similar style in green. “These are for me,” she said before I could protest. “I will enjoy seeing you in them. If you insist, I’ll deduct from your wages, but since they are for me, you shouldn’t feel responsible.” “Why are you—” I started. Asha, evidently bored of my disbelief, approached the plump clothier to engage in a congenial bartering exchange.

In the midst of uncertainty and world plight, nature continues to do beautiful things.

Often reminded of quotes from "Illusions" during times of change and adventure.
Picture of a book excerpt that reads: You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your true self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You are always free to choose a different future, or a different past. Richard Bach: Illusions

One of those days that started with a prolonged legal conundrum and ended with some of the most severe character pathology I've seen in my entire career.

10 notes to go, but hey, it's still light outside.

Me: carefully choosing low-VOC paint in a hue I think the bees will like, positionining and leveling the hive just so, preparing sugar syrup tea with mushroom extract to support their health...

Bees: we like a box

I have a feeling there are stories behind this sign.
Sign on gate which reads: "Warning: do not open gate Dog hiding in bushes knows you're here. Ring bell. Act calm."

Set up a bench to sit and observe the soothing, orderly behaviors of the bees.

Plus if you look closely, we got pollen pants coming in ☺️ (left entrance, end of video, bee with little yellowish bloomers on).

Humans talk a lot of hateful nonsense. Meanwhile, nature persists.

The hives are ready. The bees will be welcomed on Sunday.

This has been your warning: bee posts are soon to commence.

An apiary with much greenery and two Layens hives, one with a blue roof and one with a green roof.

I go away for 5 days and it feels like all the plantlings have grown twice their size. Plants continue to breathe hope into my days despite all the... *gestures vaguely at the universe*
