(One of these days I'll run out of random objects within my eyeline to name the weekly post after)

>>What are you working on? What have you finished? What do you need encouragement on? <<

I have a new "lantern" style terrarium that is open at the top, which I got when someone I know struck up a conversation about terraria and asked if I wanted it. Currently it's full of plastic plants and other decor. I'll need to pull that out at some point so I can put live plants inside. Given the open top, I'm thinking about air plants, which like a little extra humidity but don't absolutely require it. I can put some on a branch or something. I have a green-and-yellow glass egg that I just got with that project in mind.

Also on the aesthetics side, I posted about Goblincore over in thefreaksclub.

I got a subscription to Enchanted Living Magazine and I'm loving that. It's a very visual magazine with lots of art and photography, multiple crafts, some fiction and poetry, nonfiction articles, etc. If you like fantasy arts and crafts, definitely take a look. They sell back issues if the subscription is too steep.

I finished the Poetry Fishbowl report for June. Next up will be Tuesday, July 1 with a theme of "Weaponized Incompetence and Malicious Compliance." I encourage folks to drop by and leave me prompts then.

I posted my bingo claim for June.

We're currently watching The Rings of Power season 2.

Sadly limited by sweltering weather. I'm missing much of the mulberry and possibly all of the raspberry season. :(

sorry about the berry season. I went after a few mulberries and got harrassed by chipmunks (it was too hot to do much anyhow)

I saw a chipmunk at the Charleston Food Forest recently. I haven't seen one in town before, and rarely even in the big parks nearby, but I can see why the food forest would attract extra wildlife. It squeaked and ran when it saw me, so I didn't even get a picture.

they are quick little buggers. There are several running around on my parent's property

Like the ideas for the terrarium. The writing stuff sounds like it covers an interesting range.

Yes ...

I do write a huge variety of stuff.
