  • Take Me to Your Sedum

    We shall first understand
    how simple the universe is
    when we realize
    how strange it is.

    My sedum continues to be visited by a never-ending parade of six-legged friends.

    It appears, however, that it has now been invaded by aliens! I particularly like his stripey antenna. Very 1990s club scene.

    Maverick will identify this alien invader for you tomorrow in his latest Backyard Naturalist post (Sedum Edition).

    In large part because sedum is such a gross-sounding word, and we love to say it over and over again. Sedum. See see see, dum dum dum.

    I’m in a much better mood today… got my eight hours in!

  • Hey! Where’d I Go?

    Just noticed my “About Me” page has disappeared, presumably because I was finally getting around to writing something substantial on it.

    My gadgets list on my Blogger Dashboard says it’s added. Sigh. I guess that’s my project for tomorrow.

    If I’ve commented on your blog recently…would you mind clicking on my name and seeing if that still brings you to my about page, or if the link is broken? I sure do appreciate it, even though I have not the slightest idea how I’d go about fixing it.

  • Friday….FINALLY

    Life itself is a bubble and a scepticism,
    and a sleep within a sleep.

    like a man who falls into the sea.

    “Oh, I’ve had such a curious dream!” said Alice…
    got up and ran off,
    thinking while she ran, as well she might,
    what a wonderful dream it had been.

    The man who said,
    “The harder the toil, the sweeter the rest”,
    never was profoundly tired.

    -John Muir

    Oh, my ears and whiskers, I am profoundly tired. Tomorrow my plans include a lot of sleeping, quite a bit of curious dreaming, and perhaps I can pencil in some naps during the down-time.

    Funny, I started this post thinking about bubbles. I’m really that exhausted, all I can think about is burrowing in and blessed rest.

    Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. Sleep well. Dream a little dream of me.
