Upward glance into a whispering canopy of cottonwood trees, where autumn weaves its golden magic. It's like a natural cathedral ceiling painted in hues of fall.

27 October 2023 - Friday Field Notes

Not much I can show in the way of pictures this week, but we did have this foggy autumn morning earlier. A last clinging breath before the cold settles in...

With shorter and colder days, many plants go dormant in the winter to help conserve energy, reduce water loss, and help protect themselves from frost damage. Deciduous trees have hormones that are triggered by the change in daylight that signal for them to start reabsorbing the nutrients that they used to produce leaves. It's also why leaves turn colors in the fall!

Doctor Claw watching the cottonwood fall thinking it’s snowing during a 100+ degree day. Christmas in July for him. The cottonwood doesn’t really start coming down until July that’s going to blow his little mind

Yknow where i live has a lot of cottonwood trees and around this time of year they all shed their seeds and sometimes I get to thinking

Has anyone tried to start a cotton industry using cottonwood? Would it work? How viable would it be compared to actual cotton?

Pros:

Native tree :)

Makes birds happy

Trees! More trees = good, right?

Cons:

Might get outcompeted by real cotton

I have seasonal allergies :(

I kill every plant i touch

Mostly making this post of of sheer curiosity but if you happen to know stuff about plants and/or the cotton industry i guess? Feel free to infodump in the notes

A small mystery.

My hikes on the trails at San Pedro House usually take me by two fallen cottonwood trees, with their entire root plates exposed. From their size, I think the trees were likely at least a century old when they fell. On my latest hike I found a cow jawbone protruding high on the root mass of one of the trees. There were also loose bits of teeth and bones on the pile of soil that has washed from the roots. 

San Pedro House was built the late 1930s, and was an outpost and cattle breeding operation of Little Boquillas Ranch. Cattle would have grazed here well into the 1980s. Cattle herds may have arrived along the San Pedro River as early as 1540 during Coronado’s entrada into what is now Arizona, and it is certain there were herds of hardy crilollo cows on the open range here throughout the 18th and 19th Centuries. 

But how did this jawbone end up enmeshed deep in in the roots of a hundred year old cottonwood tree? Or is this someone’s small joke, a sort of Piltdown Cow, with teeth and bones deliberately placed in the caliche soil to confound the gullible?

Another free, unedited chapter of my upcoming book, “The Heist at Cordia Aquarium” is now available on its website (click here to read from the beginning).

One more set of chapters until the heist. I’m beyond excited for it, but there is just a tad more set up to do. I can’t help thinking what I’m going to do with my free time after this is published even though there is still plenty of work to do to get it out the door. Maybe another book. Maybe I’ll just sleep. Maybe I’ll finally finish refinishing the front door...

The workstation is empty. Whoever dropped off the convertible for repair came to pick it up about a half hour ago, so all that's left is a sparse tool cabinet. Elia stands in the middle of the space, arms crossed in front of her chest. Otto stares on from his own workstation — probably. She can feel his eyes on her back, an odd pressure between her shoulder blades and a tingling along her neck.

He's pitying her. Or it's all in her mind, but she dismisses that thought with a shake of her head.

Duffie's workstation — rather, no one's now — is suffocating: how barren it is, how quiet. She did this; she drove them away. Her crossed arms tighten, constricting around her chest and digging into her ribs.

On top of the cabinet, a sliver of afternoon light pierces the clouds and glints off the mirror-like, metal shaft of a screw driver. Her heart freezes at the image; her breath hangs in her throat, burning. The polished, gold surface of her pocket mirror flits through her mind. It's close. Just through the door to her office and nestled among papers in the top drawer of her desk.

[...]

I want to share character art when it’s relevant to the current free release chapter, so there will be art of Avery on my next update. For now here is the book cover.

#my partner and I started drinking tea/coffee outside to start our mornings and that has been nice #there is this tree that spews white fluffy seeds into the air this time of year and it's happening right now #cottonwood I think #couldn't take a drink of coffee without having to dig out a fluffer nutter #book tags too #queer book #trans protagonist #where's that darn cat at #tw: addiction

Jufly day 13 - Swarm

Despite being like...85% floof, nymbak will form a surprisingly strong swarm around the queen to protect her from anything they deem a threat. For pilots intent on capturing the swarm, they need to get to her, for where she goes, the swarm goes.
