In addition to art, one of the things that helps my depression is gardening and plants. I hope to get some shelves up in the kitchen for our potted plants, because right now there are 13 containers and pots cluttering the counter and they get bumped often.
In the front yard we have over 10 rose bushes and a moss garden, and I try to plant wild flowers every year.
I spent some time today clearing weeds from directly around two of the rose bushes and noticed the first two flowers of the season begining to open!
I even got to watch a few crows gather sticks for a nest this evening. This is looking to be a good season.
I understand why people dislike leather and animal products. But leather is such a good resource? Like… My mom bought a sturdy leather coat in 1989. I’m in my 20’s and I now wear that coat. That’s a 30 year old coat? 30 years, two generations, one coat. Versus, like… A plastic one, that rips and gets thrown out, or releases bits into the ecosystem every time it’s washed, takes a billion years to decompose, lasts maybe a decade if you’re super duper careful, and uses oil products in it’s construction. Like, yeah leather is expensive and comes from a living animal, and I’m not saying that you should go out and buy fifty fur and leather products for the he’ll of it, but like… Maybe the compromise is worth it? One animal product, valued and respected and worn down for generations, versus like… Six plastic products that will never ever go away?
idk, I could be wrong.
Yo bRo do yoU HavE Any Ocs?
Nope. I had a few when I used to write, but that was years ago and I no longer have them.
I love seeing other people’s OC’s though!
Had a short painting session with my sister yesterday while watching her. Finished a piece I had started months ago.
