she herself looks like a character out of a story book.

the elsa beskow books go back quite a ways (mine is a reprint, but was first published in swedish in 1910) here is one from that book “the children of the forest”

http://billadreaming.com.au/buildsite/w ... barnen.jpg

another book i have (by sybille von olfers) which i also like goes back to 1906, originally published in german.

the jill barklem books date back to 1980 or so. according to the book sleeve here, she is somewhere overlooking epping forest, which says is the original inspiration for her work.

the sun came out this evening and people everywhere were squinting like vampires

anyhow, this is a cool song. i like the lyrical curlicues and whatever

i am thinking that instead of planting superficial ornamental landscape to compensate for so much concrete being placed along the 'urban sprawl'…. really, must you? and displacing so many animals…and you wonder why they consume your gardens….it wasn’t like this just a few years ago. maybe at least consider planting vegetation that will actually be useful beyond just being window dressing. at least! for example (and just a small example) plant crab apple trees of various varieties along the way to compensate for all the destruction of the animals food sources, which drive them into your backyards! just one example.

but then you will have to examine your approach, period.

this is just the tip of the iceberg!

and if you think i am talking about deer only, or predominantly, i am not. i am talking about birds and squirrels and such, who before fairly recently seemed to have enough to go around, and we humans had plenty to share with our neighbors from our gardens, but now the animals have been forced into the only refuges they can find.

reposting this here too

why? because it is important.

trump says he never said he was “a perfect person”. perfect? who on the planet is perfect? that is beside the point! “i pledge to be a better man tomorrow”. i bet you do!

i saw no real apology.

i see apologists everywhere.

i do not see an anomaly here, i see a pattern.

abuse, including sexual abuse, is about power and control.

Me and Arlo did a little long term guerrilla gardening a few years ago, I half heard/read somewhere that English Oak trees are protected and couldn't be chopped down. that autumn we collected a load of Acorns when when
planting.
