Spring! We tried making peach blossom tea after pruning the tree, but it tasted gross (not sure why)
We've also gotten some really cool ombre eggs from our Cayuga ducks!
Soon there will be gourd basket pictures. We grew big African drum gourds last year and after 6ish months they're finally ready to be cleaned and cut open. Some will be drums, others baskets.
K'seil says !!!! Gourds!!!! I will chew upon the gourd!!!!
Hazard says ew :c gross :c this is a vegetable.
(There is also freeze-dried chicken inside the vegetable. Hazard thinks there should be less pumpkin in his pumpkin and K'seil is just happy to be here.)
Aburame Clan hosts begin adapting their hives to live in the large gourds around the time they want to start drinking alcohol, being sexually active, or doing other activities that would either poison their give or cause them to temporarily lose control of it.
The gourd allows them to carry more bugs and more variety of bugs, but it's also like a dog crate when you just need a little personal space.
Shino is less social than even other Aburame, and more attached to his hive. He doesn't even like drinking or casual sex, so he never felt compelled to gourd train his hive.
It would be kind of tragic, though. Even if it were a clan secret, some people would know and see him as prudish or childish for being past 30 with no gourd for his hive. Maybe he has one and just doesn't tote it around everywhere.

elidibus and gourd have remarkable similarities and by total accident too cus i did not write him in tandem LMFAO. both were young and beloved and were given a secure place in the world by the adults around them and both lost them all violently and pretty suddenly while they were reaching the cusp of their adulthoods. both played the role of observers for a very very long time and both felt lost and needed a form of extreme denial to continue after losing their home. both longed for guidance and were okay with being puppets if it meant they could recieve it again. there’s a slew of fundamental differences in why they turned out so differently-yet-vaguely-alike of course but OK I PROMSJE it wasnt all for my malevolent wolidibus agenda
Happy Halloween! Who else is going as a grumpy wizard?

Image description: On the lawn of the White House are three pets in costumes and a lot of pumpkins. India, a black cat, is wearing a purple and gold cape and wizard hat. Miss Beazley, a black Scottish Terrier, is wearing a strawberry costume, and Barney, also a black Scottish Terrier, is wearing a red bandanna. It could just be the lighting, but India looks like she’s glaring at the camera.
