Just got back from our local conservation district native plant sale. I arrived at opening and it was pouring rain, almost snowing, and there was a line of people queued up around the block. It's great to see so many people toughing out a storm to buy native plants! btw, I bought a lot. : )

No greater joy than giving the sheep a fresh paddock every 4 days during the season. On the fourth day they know it’s coming and get very vocal 😊 Can’t wait to unleash them on the grass once again, in just a few weeks! #skysheep #permaculture #rotationalgrazing

Happy Pi Day! Today is March 14, or 3/14, the first digits of pi. It is irrational - there is an infinite number of decimal points. 3.14159 is only what I can remember, but it goes on forever. It is perhaps easier to grasp the infinite nature of pi from art. The lack of order is fascinating.

Did u know? If you have more than one pond & your amphibians are intent on only laying in one of them, (as long as it gets some sun) try transporting a blob to your empty pond & transport a few extra pond plants too, to feed the tadpoles when they hatch...then see what happens..🙏

A liquid dance of sunlight on seawater. Each ripple a fleeting note as the sun spills broken fragments of light. Clouds heavy, carrying the weight of the world in water. And here I stand, witness to the alchemy of where water becomes fire, and the ordinary turns to wonder.

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

In the 1670s, Peter Banks, a Newcastle-based cunning man, sold year-long ‘leases’ for 20 shillings. These paper charms allegedly prevented the holder from dying in that time. They were popular with sailors who bought new ones every year #FolkloreThursday [Image by Jan Porcellis]

I've been cutting the fat from my hard copy files so if I have to evacuate in an emergency or if I become homeless for some other reason I don't have so much stuff to store. I'm debating what to do with decades of W2 forms - witholdings from my paychecks. Shred I guess. 🧳😶‍🌫️

Buddhism teaches that Suffering arises from Conditions that bind us like a chain. But beyond conditions lies the Unconditioned, Nirvana. Like the Sun behind clouds, our Buddha-nature is ever-present. Breaking the chain reveals true freedom. 🙏 #Buddhism #Nidana #Mindfulness #BuddhaNature #Nirvana

We can’t yell, Throats are raw, Words not enough, Fear and uncertainty, We are hate, Fists clenched, We open them slowly, A bird settles on our hand, Connection made again, Part of the world. We are peace. #vsspoem yell

We walk the path, turn the wheel. Gather grey and furrow. Hold our memory and lose our recollections. We brandish wisdom with a sigh and smile at our own foolishness. The clock turns faster, seasons bumping into each other. We take another day and we live. #vssmagic live

All the world’s a stage, but your thoughts aren’t on it. They’re backstage, endlessly auditioning… for you. Over and over. For a role that doesn’t exist.

You know how it is…you have a huge “to do” list so you end up listening to This Mortal Coil and sketching a Capybara because you’ve never drawn one and they’re cool..and it’s procrastinating at its most Capybaraist.

I've seen a lot of dehumanizing language toward "others" lately. On the editing screen, from the Hevajra Tantra: “Beings are truly buddhas, But are veiled by adventitious impurities. Once they are removed, There is no doubt beings are true buddhas.”
