For your spooky season pleasure, more of my stuff in the weird things I did when I was bored folder. The candle .gifs flicker.
Happy All Hallows Eve Eve. In honor of tomorrow's spooky fest, I present to you a spooky feast, which also doubles as a guide to cooking for your pets. I made it for Valentine's Day, but it seems appropriate to share now.
After all, it is about how to serve heart on a platter.

Thinking over the plants I want to grow for my worms to eat for a fat, healthy frog and better compost, realized it's starting to look a lot like a list for my eventual goal of an indoor salad bar. Dandelion, yarrow, sorrel, lamb's quarters, and plantain are all things I've foraged, I don't know how good wild violet leaves are for the soil but I know they are a good "wild" food to have in a pot, so I have those too. All I need is more lights and I can plant these micro tomato and mizuna seeds.
Hey, @peeppeepcircus I was just wondering what else I could grow as a houseplant to feed my worms, nutrient acculumator type plants. I can't find my copy of Gaia's Garden and I realized you might be aware of something that has a stunted enough growth pattern for a pot. I grow pink dandelion, yarrow, alfalfa, and might dig up some plantain and maybe pinch the blooms from some lamb's quarters and see what happens.
I would like to show off my apple. It is wax, and the color of the inner "flesh" makes it look exactly like an apple that fell from the display and bounced around on the market floor, to be never purchased and discarded. I found it when we were staying in my partner's boss's extra mansion that he was renovating. It was abandoned in a closet. I stole it. I love it for the layers of metaphor in it's history.
a poem by my friend Columbine:
It's beginning to look a lot like Samhain
Everywhere you go
There are autumn leaves in your hair
Spiderwebs everywhere
And Jack O'Lanterns lined up in a row
It's beginning to look a lot like Samhain
Soon the veil will part
Let the Ancestors know you care
And their wisdom will be there
Right within your heart.
I just saw this "my home is magic" commercial where this little girl was bragging about her Alexa run home where the lights all turn on by themselves every morning and spills are automatically vacuumed and stuff, and all I could think of was "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury. Scariest Halloween commercial I've ever seen.
My former boyfriend gives you leaves of fall.
Yes I turned him into a crow for leaving me..
Nature, science, and art are super cool. Terribly sorry for the stuff that doesn't fit.
