The sunsets this time of year. But also ready for January to be over already.

I have a goal this year to read 50 books. Just finished the first one: Cactus Country by Zoe Bossiere. Next up: House of Rain by Craig Childs. #bookstr

“I too am not a bit tamed. I too am untranslatable.” Got Whitman on the brain these last few days as I think about the wild gardens I’ve known and grown. #nature #gardenstr

Is there a Nostr version of Substack? Or is Nostr substackable or something like that? I would love to follow and Zap long form stuff on specific topics, and contribute myself. #asknostr

The cat got out last night and has still not made his way back home. Going to have a sad little first grader if he doesn’t show up soon. I’ll be sad too. The cat has grown on me. A big, black tomcat with a solitary patch of white on his chest and bright yellow eyes. Not much of a cuddler, but he slept every night at my feet, biting them at times in the early morning hours if I moved too much or if he was in a playful mood.

Mojave yucca and two kinds of barrel cactus are up. The cactus seedlings are kinda adorable. #nature #gardenstr Ignore the half-dead pitosporum in the background. It was a very hot summer.

Got a little rain and a beautiful sunset this evening. #nature
