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.”

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse
An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquishedDamian Carrington (The Guardian)

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.

This Valentine’s Day, try loving-kindness meditation

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

Après la bise, la rosée perle
Sur les sapins tout ébouriffés
Danseuse-étoile, une fée
Virevolte puis te parle
Entends-tu la mousse murmurer
Les lutins courir dans les bois ?
Chanter sous les Reines-des-bois,
D'un champignon bleu te mirer ?
Champignon, noisette, racine
Un écureuil égare ses billes
En se pressant sous la puie
Vers la douce et blanche aubépine
Un lutin, une fée ?
Un champignon bleu ?
Les as-tu vus ?
Sous la nuée ?
Peut-être ...

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).

in reply to JA Westenberg • • •I've loved seeing how many folks are discovering a version of this together in different ways.
Its been a personal experiment for 3+ years to see how the seasons effect me. Summer is my creative fallow period because it is a physical and socially fecund period of time (plus, now I'm gardening too).
But, other folks are more creative during the summer.
The seasonality also underscores why we've historically had holidays centering certain behavior. Not just for agriculture but for us.
