Snowy April Ulog
Greetings, Steemians! Hope you're staying warm, because it's been snowing here. But I was determined to make sun tea anyway, so I set it in the window to brew yesterday. I'm in the mood for some halfnhalf limeade and tea.
I brushed off the ledges of the balcony and put it in the tree pots to give them some water and insulation. Emmy the Elm had sprouted leaves already when it was still warm:
But it's supposed to be warming up again now so I think she'll be okay. :)
Snoooooow
Have you ever wondered what cloth moth eggs look like? No? You might be familiar with their cocoons and larvae and flying form, but their eggs look like gritty sand:
This is as macro as my camera gets
That was in my sewing repair basket. Naturally. So I washed a bunch of stuff and plucked off the cocoons and nothing was too far gone that it couldn't be salvaged, but I AM SO TIRED OF THESE MOTHERFUCKING CLOTH MOTHS IN MY MOTHERFUCKING APARTMENT. Rawr.
I did also toss in my started-but-haven't-worked-on-in-months patchwork curtain, because I figured if the repair basket got mothed ...and I was right, it was a little mothed, too. But what I didn't realize was that I had left pins in it, which I discovered when I began pulling things out of the washer and "tingtingting!" ...one fell on the floor. Oops. I hope I found them all...
I FINALLY restrung my copper beads and mala beads, and I already popped one of the multiple bracelets I made with them this time instead of one long bracelet. I figured that way if one breaks, I still have most of my copper, and already it happened. I am MAGICKAL about breaking jewelry, y'all.
That's about it from here. I hope y'all are doing well!

Aww, go Emmy go! Nothing better than seeing the first leaves on a tree. And wow, your hand looks super tanned next to that snow.
Sorry about those stupid moths, and all the trouble you have to go through because of them...bastards.
You need to stop that majickal power... like pronto. Switch it for a better one lol!!
Snow: the only thing I can look tanned next to. LMAO
Well the mala beads breaking means you've worked off some karma, so that's good, right? :)
And when I break necklaces - I've not only broken chains, I've SNAPPED METAL PENDANTS IN HALF. Given that my teeth break too, I'm fairly certain that energetically, that's on my throat chakra. LOL
You're badass, completely badass. And I love the work your throat chakra has been doing of late, loving all your videos, and still have the beauty and the beast song in my head thanks to you Phe lolol!!
Ah ha ha, so sorry I earwormed you. I still get the Welcome to the Jungle redux from that meme stuck in my head:
Welcome to the garden
Please respect the rules
We got all the plants you want
We tend them with our tools
We are the people who can grow
Whatever you may need
If you've got the money, honey
We've got your daisies
In the garden
Welcome to the garden
Gonna bring in all the
Shananananananana bees, bees

Loving thoes beads Mate. We have a Village here called Mala, i wonder if there is a connection. I cant find a Spanish meaning. What are the big white stones made of?
Namaste 😎

Mala beads are seeds from the kind of tree the Buddha was sitting under when he became enlightened. You use them as prayer/mantra beads, and when the string breaks, it means you worked off some karma. :)
The big white ones are quartz.

I knew they were meditation beads. But didn't know they were from a tree. Which is interesting. Because not far up the road in the village of Guatiza the road is lined by very old trees whoes roots are breaking the road up, but instead of cutting them down they built a bypass around the Village. So now I will have to discover what trees they are. 😎

Ooh, let us know!
Stay warm Emmy and Phe! That was really smart giving your plants a snow blanket!
We are delayed in Austin due to weather, hopefully we can go home soon 😂
Home in Florida, or home on your farm?
