Little Trees and Gardening and Bugs

I understand that the odds of individual seeds making it aren't the best. I also understand that all of my seeds are still over-wintering and I probably have a couple of months to go before I see any results. But I'm so bored of looking at bare pots. So . . . if these little guys could hurry up, just a little? That'd be greeeat.

I'm kind of looking forward to spring this year, besides the trees, cause I'm just ready to do some gardening again. Weeding is as much fun as it is a pain in the butt, but when I'm doing it with someone, like Dala in our garden or helping a friend out in their garden, the pain in the butt part just kind of disappears. I don't think I'll have my good camera with me when I'm out, for fear of getting it took dirty, but I might have my half-broken point and shoot camera with me. If I see any nifty bugs or whatever else, it'll be a convenient opportunity to get some shots to load onto iNaturalist. That said, getting insects identified is a little hit or miss, which is understandable. A lot of species look near identical to one another.

Video Games

Stardew Valley is addictive and fun, which, fun addictive is probably the best and worse kind of addictive there is. I'm enjoying the fishing. I'm enjoying the mining. Farming can just straight up go away because man, that's a literal chore. I think my favorite part of the game is giving people random gifts and seeing what they like and what they hate. Some people have odd tastes. You give them a dandelion, they're all like "Awesome! Thank you!" You give them a semi-precious mineral like topaz though, they're all like "Ew. Why would you give this." Don't even get me started on the lady who didn't like the cake I gave her. It's cake lady. Who doesn't like cake?

It's been a bit of a slow week for me so far, which is good. I've needed a bit of a break after the hecticness of the holidays. I hope you're all doing well and staying warm this winter, Hubski. That is unless, you live close to the equator or in the Southern Hemisphere. In that case, I hope you're enjoying the sun! Either way, here's to a pretty good week.

I've played many, many games in my short life - Stardew Valley still has the most hours poured into it by far. Hundreds. Replays, figuring out the most efficient money maker, trying different map layouts.

Of course you need to court absolutely everyone just to see their heart events. But I agree who doesn't like cake? Purple haired lady will literally eat rocks when you give her some but noooooo cake is just too moorish.

Can confirm it is rather hot and sunny down here in the Southern Hemisphere. We hit our hottest temperature of the Summer at 2-3am and we've gotten hotter since.
