I'm still hacking away at the to-be-posted list from the Holiday Poetry Sale. There are a bunch of long ones left, and a few short ones.

I did the January Poetry Fishbowl on Tuesday 6 with a theme of "Short Forms." \o/

I have made my list of goals for 2026 and started on them. So far I have finished 3 and begun 19. I'll begin another tomorrow by making a new recipe, which is a molasses coconut pie for my partner.

A big creative project I am currently working on is website updates with help from a couple friends.

The contorta willow fell down; I'm eyeing it as possible craft material.

I've started making orders for spring planting. :D

friending_memes has a New Year Friendzy up.

We finished watching Love Death + Robots season 4. It includes two of the best spec-fic cat stores of all time, "The Other Large Thing" and "For He Can Creep." <3 We've thrown in a few other bits. Dancing with the Birds was surprisingly vivid. Apparently birds of paradise tend to have bright colors inside their mouths -- yellow, neon blue, pumpkin orange. Next show planned will be The Great Pottery Throw Down.

I finished reading Turns of Fate. I am currently reading ... seed catalogs.

I have leaves raked about halfway around the firepit. I put some on the daffodil bed. I was going to do the tulip bed but things are already sprouting there. 0_o I have most of the brushpile by the driveway broken down, aside from bigger pieces that need to be dragged away. Progress.

Wow, that is a lot! Go you!

Also, YAY seed catalogs. I would say don't go too crazy, but you know what? GO WILD. Show hope for the future. Plant all the things!

I first found this saying on a magnet, which I hung on my indoor planter: "Life is short. Buy the plants." I wanted it on a T-shirt, but the one with the cutest picture was white. I bought it anyway. I figure if I go plant shopping and don't come home dirty, it's been a bust of a day. Some things are meant to get dirty. :D

As for wild, I practice laissez-faire permaculture. I put out native plants to make a model ecosystem. Sometimes Gaia throws in extras like the cup plants, elderberry bush, and wild grapevines. I have smaller gardens for things like exotic flowers, herbs, and a few vegetables. It's very popular with wildlife.
