technonaturalist

We hadn’t been long after the last update when we accidentally acquired more stuff. We had returned to Bunnings much sooner than anticipated as we had forgotten to buy replacement heat lamps during the last trip and I decided that I really wanted that Elkhorn fern.

And of course a couple more things we “needed”.

The creeping thyme seeds in the picture is actually the result of another gardening argument. There was some really nice grass when we moved in (after we got it under control as everything was massively overgrown, the house had been unoccupied for many months prior). J was always adamant that he would not under any circumstances ever bother wasting any effort on things that didn’t feed us specifically and it didn’t really matter because the grass didn’t care.

Aeris the Pig Dog vs Satan the Chicken of Indeterminate Breeding

“Satan” was so-called because she kept jumping the fence and occasionally also climbing up onto the currently defunct aquaponics and then onto the shed and then onto the roof and jumping off the other side, and we’d then have to drive her back to the chicken area. Aeris “The Puppy” (who is currently 4 years old) eventually figured out what we were wanting after following us every time we went to round up the chicken and then started trying to help and after requiring a few corrections (she was just chasing initially because I guess she thought that’s what we were doing, and also she’s not meant to actually catch them) she’s been really enjoying rounding up any chickens (usually this one). The chickens don’t enjoy it quite as much.
