#ThreeGoodThings for today :
A nice bike ride across the border ;
A very good lunch in a buckwheat pancake restaurant;
And a wonderful christmas market in the center of #tournai #belgium.
Back to home under the rain, soggy but happy.

Fire, blood and fury
Smothered to dullness
Got lost in the mist
Bitter memories
Eased with a nursing smile
One pill at a time
#ThreeGoodThings for today
Family meeting around a delicious meal
A nice evening by the fire at home with good coffee
Harvested hawthorn to be shredded for garden mulch after birds ate all the berries.
Le liseron fournit aussi d'assez bonnes ligatures pour les plantes tuteurées-palissées, à condition de le nouer frais et sans trop serrer les noeuds. Ici ce sont les tiges tout juste fleuries qui sont les plus pratiques. Pas besoin de ficelle ;)

the history and future of societal collapse
“Collapse isn’t just caused by structures, but also people. If you want to save the world then the first step is to stop destroying it. In other words: don’t be a dick. Don’t work for big tech, arms manufacturers or the fossil fuel industry. Don’t accept relationships based on domination and share power whenever you can.”

I just wanted to share some photos of my #garden after the rain. A #rewilded lawn, some #vegetablegarden pictures, a (still drying) pond, a young pear tree and a very young #tea tree surrounded by daylilies and goutweed. All mulched, sheltered with a #hedge and watered and fed by ash trees and Judas'trees.
The lawn itself is a young #orchard in progress, a young olive tree can be seen above the grasses and you might spot a persimmon behind the pink lupin.
I have a little #question about the Judas'trees : I have learned their seed pods are #edible, but if you are used to #foraging which recipe do you use for #cooking them ?
Have a nice evening !

Edible Parts of the Judas Tree
Flowers: The vibrant pink flowers bloom in spring and have a sweet-acid taste. They can be eaten raw in salads, pickled, or used as a garnish. Some sources mention that the flower buds can be pickled and used as a condiment.
Young Seed Pods: The immature green pods are tender and can be eaten raw or cooked. They have a mildly sweet taste and can be added to salads, stir-fries, or pickled.
Young Leaves: The young, tender leaves can be consumed raw in salads or cooked. They have a mild flavor and can be used similarly to spinach or other leafy greens.

Start of the growing season here.
Set the poles for tomatoes, sown fava beans, autumn onions and garlic sprouting.

in reply to JA Westenberg • • •This deeply resonated with me. Thank you for sharing.
It reminded me of this interview with Jillian Johnsrud and her description of burnout as a biological protection mechanism to escape bad situations.

Jillian also referenced the Old Testament concept of a taking a year of rest every 7 years (sabbatical year), as a mega version of taking every 7th day of work off (sabbath day).
