Boo!

[nanslice]

I've spent most of this weekend feeling mildly sorry for myself in ways that I do not actually understand. Things are pretty good! I don't know why I feel this way! lol. I think I'm mostly just feeling disconnected. Which is something I don't really know how to fix, so wooo! :D

Anyways, on to better things!

Saturday morning we went to a local park and it was cold but lovely. There were so many other people out with their dogs! Unfortunately Selphie is kind of a jerk so I do not let her around other dogs but it was still very nice to see them, haha. Also, lots of lovely birds around!



Some ducks and a robin! There were lots of crows, of course, and I'm not sure how I didn't get a single picture of them!

Speaking of birds, a murmuration of starlings visited today!


Very loud noisy friends!

I also started some seeds inside, in hopes to harden them off and transplant them outdoors mid/late-March!



I'd read that you can use toilet paper rolls for this so I collected a bunch and cut them in half. This first round is bok choi, broccoli, and basil but I have a second tray almost ready to start some flowers. It's very exciting! I will plant some directly in the ground later on but I really wanted to get some started. I'm impatient for spring. ;o; These baby plants are already so much taller. ;3;

I'm not super looking forward to work tomorrow but I feel bad feeling that way because my job is pretty sweet. ;3; At least it's a four day work week. Which is again, because my job is awesome and was like, "Okay, this Friday is going to be a little paid company closure!" Which I will not disagree with at all.

Oooh, that's a brilliant hack for keeping seedlings separate. *makes note*

[nanslice]

Yes! And you can get four-five of them out of a paper towel roll!

Seed babies! 👀 I'm also feeling very disconnected lately. I am hoping it is just a February Thing. Let's go, Spring already ;_;

[nanslice]

So many seed babies! The basil is coming up now; it's purple. :D

Yeah, January and February are so rough! Earlier February felt great but the back half has been a little mean to my brain. Soon, March and Spring!

Lovely bird photos!

And hooray for seed starting :) A friend gave me a tool that makes essentially those paper rolls, except made of newspaper. They were a raging success last year.

I love birds so much. :D

Oh, that's so cool! How sturdy are they?

[redsixwing]

They're just sturdy enough. The newspaper held up long enough to sprout the seedlings and let me set them out, but the roots had gone through at the bottom without a problem - and sometimes through the sides.

I'll definitely do that again.

SO MANY PLANTS. I'm really excited about using the veggies and herbs grown in my own gardens. ;3; Groceries too expensive! ;o;

Hoping spring hurries up for you and that you have a great Friday off.

[nanslice]

Thank you! ♥ Friday should be a nice day! We're expecting snow Saturday and Sunday but only a little and it shouldn't hit freezing.

I love the color contrast of the robin on the green grass.
