my love and i stayed with my Grandpa for the night. He needs care these days so we felt honored to help out.. God knows we want to return the favor after how thoughtful and generous my family has been to us while going through horrendous medical issues.
We are so thankful for family.
this is where peace lives i think

Sometimes think I had a normal childhood for someone growing up in the Aussie country (you know, when you ignore the disability and trans stuff lol) Then I talk to my sister and remember the absolutely ridiculous things that happened back home...
My school's cross country course (a sporting event where you walk/run several kilometres on dirt tracks) passed through a park that had a helicopter landing pad. During cross country one year, there was a helicopter parked there. Someone in my sister's year group stole it... or tried to. I don't think he was successful, but that depends on who you're talking to lol.
A guy stole a bulldozer from a roadwork site and used it to steal a coin machine at the car wash by just scooping the machine up in the little tray thing. The theft was caught on camera, as was his escape back into the closest thing we had to a busy suburb and yet, the coin machine, nor the bulldozer were ever seen again.
There was a ghost who lived at the showground, or so the story goes. Everyone greets her when we use the hall for community events. This makes the church across the road very angry. So much so a pastor used to go to the primary school to tell the kids not to talk to the ghost. Now I'm pretty sure everyone in my generation at least does it out of spite. From what I know about the ghost, I think she'd approve lol.
During my time in high school, 3 bodies were found on the beach. One was found by our school's beach walking class (also we had a beach walking class, it was an elective sport). Things continued as normal.
My high school had an elective marine biology class and part of the course was to get your scuba licence. I learned after graduation this is not normal, most schools don't have this class as an option. Did some digging and learned that it's whole reason for it being included was to make it easier to teach kids to scuba dive because people keep throwing things in the lakes around town/the ocean and they literally can not hire divers fast enough to clean it up. The class got cancelled after my year group because a girl in my class tried to fight a shark (this shark would approach divers but was known by the instructor to be really placid, so they just let her be, but this apparently spooked the school. Fair).
Our geography teacher was a conspiracy theorist and dooms day prepper that believed the whole 2012 thing. His approach to giving us tests was "we're all going to be dead in a few years and it's ridiculous they're even making you come to school so here's the answers so you don't have to waste time studying" - we had to re-take our year 10 final exam because of him...

We had a flash freeze with below zero temps for about a week, then a walk on a winter’s day ? We had horrible wind and heavy rain here in East Tennessee and then it was 71 yesterday ! Found some Easter flowers taking a peek at the sun.

Greetings everyone,
I'm back to posting for a while now. This summer hasn't been as dynamic as I hoped and I'm back to just hanging out on the internet again while waiting for stuff to happen that's currently beyond my control.
This is me at the Langford Art Festival 2023 in the UK. It was a fun event with a huge diversity of art for sale. This "gallery" is really a Mediaeval church and it was a surprisingly good venue to display paintings and other art pieces. There was also an entertaining and educational blacksmithing demo where this elegantly dressed gentleman worked alongside the blacksmith to craft a traditional iron cheese knife. These floral paintings by Julia Sorrell had a pleasing combination of botanical detail and Cubist style. John Scanes' mysterious paintings channelled the non-Euclidian geometry of HP Lovecraft's cosmic horrors. The ethnic diversity of the modern day UK is reflected in Belinda Callow's delightful modern day fairy folk drawings. I felt very inspired after seeing the art at this event, and perhaps one day I will make some art to sell at a festival like this.

We were clearing some thick trees and brush yesterday & looked down to see a clutch of wild turkey eggs. We had stepped on about 10 of them, I picked out the five undamaged eggs and brought them inside. I began googling 'incubate turkey eggs'. So now, I have a cheap egg incubator and for the next 3 to 4 weeks will be babysitting these eggs, turning them every 6 hours, checking the temp and humidity.
The saddest part is the mama turkey has walked slowly through the back yard twice today, pecking and eating and I just feel so sad for her. It took her two weeks, laying one egg per day, and now she has no eggs to hatch. The least I can do is try to save these few...we'll see if it works. Turky egg incubating advice welcome!

Four photographs showing the first home (Kinfaun) in Surrey, England that George Harrison purchased after the Beatles early successes. Later in the 1960′s, Harrison and wife Patti Boyd painted the exterior. From Life magazine’s tribute to George Harrison, published in December of 2011

Day 227, Kittens
On Monday I was feeling ambitious so I cleaned and purged the pantry. I was also feeding the animals so I was in and out all morning. It was hot. It was hot at 5am and only became worse as the relentless sun shined so hard beating the front of the house with fire rays. Around 10:30 or so I heard a sound and so did the dogs. Benny and Molly headed to the oven door, I mean front door, so I followed…
