Yard photos: Before
Here are the handful of photos I took of my “Place in Nature” for my Ecofeminism independent study class: my front yard before I’ve tried to make it any healthier. I’ll post more photos as things get better! ;)

Butter chicken for dinner tonight — yum! It’s in the crockpot and starting to make the house smell delicious. Combined with the fact that it’s summer and my proposal deadlines are all stalled until my adviser returns from her (well-deserved) vacation, that means I find myself with a bit of writing time on my hands,…
Housemate to his mother: “I’ve been picking up foxes off the internet.” One utterly boggled look, and one humungous blush later, he hastily explained: he grabs nice graphics from a website which posts photos of the wild red foxes which visit their garden, and uses them as desktops and screensavers on his computer. We’re not…
I should note clearly here I’m not trying to show how Harry is “bad” and everyone else is “good” — because I think all four of the heroines I’m discussing extensively are good reads. What I’m trying to do with them, however, is clearly demonstrate, through comparison and contrast, what is to me a new…

I have tons of things I should be writing and reading and painting and training and cleaning and organizing and researching and blah blah blah… but I’m out of givashits right now. This also means it’s sometimes hard to come up with something clever and intelligent-sounding for here. The following will have to do instead…
Blatant and inaccurate double standards As I’ve previously noted, I was not happy with how the second chapter was progressing. To my increasing dismay, things only got worse: we are introduced to the so-called original “High God” or “Sky God” of the “ancient Mesopotamians, Vedic Indians, Greeks and Canaanites,” which is a “primitive monotheism” Armstrong…
Oh! Thank you, Lou, for the correct name on those plants! Also, re the yard: I figure it has nice bits… I just have to draw them out and emphasize them a bit more, y’know? :)
Yes, it’s not a very nice place right now, is it? I’m sure some attention can make it nicer.
They’re not gardenias. They’re geraniums! I just remembered! I haven’t posted for days because I couldn’t remember that word.
