It's been about an aeon or so since I last did a garden journal (last one tagged any thing to do with the garden was bundled in with a homeschooling post from 2013 as the kids helped J plant some stuff

It is not actually that complicated, I was just going to call the post "re-evaluiation" or something equally direct but then decided I wanted to use the word "contemplation" and then

I think it's time to try something new. It may also be something old. I know I want to go back to my old way of blogging where I would just write whatever and not care about stupid things like SEO or niches.

It's been a good while since I wrote about the baby steps of my very slow transition to as much open source as I can manage. quick recap early twenteens: apparently (I searched my own blog XD) I was using

It was this version of that song that was on my Spotify that did it. Then it was meant to be a brief interlude but I was trying to avoid cel shading because I hate doing it (I'm just straight up bad at

Pulled earthy colours today so very boringly it was a plant, but at least not the one I had in mind when I pulled the pens out. Then I had to pull another one as one of the greens was dry. Pulled out yet

Everything new starts with a butterfly. I'm trying handwritten posts for hive. I like the size of this book but drawing is a challenge (though drawing small is why I got it) and writing is harder. According

I got very briefly stuck when I found out that I don't think I can do a double loop with the tail with five controllers. Firstly there was a lot of keyframe shenanigans which I kind of just did but didn't
