I lost my prescription eyeglasses in the mountains of Sequoia national park while communing with the redwoods. Came back a week later to try to retrace my steps and find them. Miraculously, without the aid of my glasses, I spotted them amongst some forest litter lmao. Can u see them?

After surviving for a month since the event on the outskirts of town at a bait shop, I got bit fumbling with my flashlight battery in an underground tunnel beneath a sanitarium somewhat nearby my new home. So much preparation and progress gone to one stupid mistake. At least I saved those rabbits...

powdery mildew is taking its toll on the pumpkin patch, but they do still be out there. So many chaos sunflowers as well 🥰 probably could save the pumpkin patch from further despair, but my HP has been too low for too long... 😖

CW alcohol: Brewed a bunch of nashi mead last year. Finally got to bottling it, it's aged/clarified SO WELL. Sweet and fruity lead, absolute burning in the middle, and breaks away to a mildly sweet and very yeasty finish. So far, a sipping batch with how strong it is. More aging ahead! ❤️

Busy weekend on the farm! Built a couple steel raised beds, removed some old fencing that wasn't serving much purpose, moved tomato cages, planted lettuce, spinach, mustard greens, chives, bunching onions, radishes, carrots, big red onions, big yellow sweet onions, and two varieties of potatoes!

been missing from here a bit lately. maintaining low power mode before having to return to work. farm stand construction is coming along real nicely 💖 can it be spring yet?

started throwing together a roadside farm goods stand the other day. I haven't done any woodworking for EONS and I feel really lucky to even have the stuff lying around that allows me to pick it back up <3 got one side panel improvised in a few hour's work and I'm excited for the rest :3

photograph of a wooden side panel that is going to be part of a roadside farm goods stand. it consists of two upright light-colored 2x6 boards with angled cuts at the top to eventually support a sloped roof, and a horizontal rectangular plywood panel connecting the verticals just under halfway up. Assorted small hardware storage sits somewhat neatly in organizers, shelves, and drawers in the background.
