But Seriously, When We Got Our Property, It Was All Just…grass. A Sterile Grass Moonscape, Like A Billion

But seriously, when we got our property, it was all just…grass. A sterile grass moonscape, like a billion other yards. With two big old maple trees. Just grass and maples, that was it.

But then I got my grubby little paws on it, and I immediately stopped fertilizing, spraying, and bagging up grass clippings and leaves. I ripped up sod and put in flowers and vegetables. I put down nice thick blankets of mulch around the flowers and vegetables.

When I first was sweating my way through stripping sod, I saw a grand total of 1 worm and 0 ladybugs. The ground was compacted into something that would bend shovel blades.

Now, six years later, I can’t dig a planting hole without turning up fourteen earthworms, and there are so many ladybugs here. Not the invasive asian lady beetles; native ladybugs. They winter over in the mulch and in the brush pile. I see thousands of them.

The soil is soft and rich. There are birds that come to eat, and bees of many sorts.

Like this is something that you, yourself, can absolutely change. This is something that you, personally, can make a difference in.

[A half body coloured image of Sun, leaning his whole upper body towards the left, hands clasped to his right with a strained grin on his face, side-eyeing the viewer. Speech to the left of him reads: "Good frienddd, you're backkk!"]

[A half body coloured image of Sun holding a piece of paper in his right hand, giving a thumbs down with his left hand and blowing a raspberry with a disdainful expression on his face. Speech to the right of him reads: "Bad bad bad!"]

[Two coloured half body images of Sun. The left hand image shows Sun recoiling toward the left, both hands bunched up at face height, face scrunched up as though wincing at the sight of something off screen. Speech to the right of him reads: "Ohhh!" The right hand picture shows Sun with his eyes narrowed, face cracking into a grimace as he holds his hand up in front of his face, fingers splayed out as though fretfully waving something away offscreen. Speech to the right of him reads: "Start again."]

an intimidating Moondrop sitting criss-cross apple sauce with a nameless child on his lap. she is very tiny, so very tiny el wiwi. her eyes and pigtails are brown and she is wearing a green dress. moonydrop's hands are resting on her head, and she sticks her tongue out (like this >:p). purple handwriting on the left: "I love the expression hehehe" and the orange handwriting(mine): "thank u!!!! :)". on the right side there are two blue hearts.

sun and the nameless child peeking out from the bottom of the page.

silly @daycarefriendpickup magma stuff (the first one took two days) (ignore the missing details) (pls) (and the hands) (o god don't look too close at the hand. s. D: /lh)

〜

dont tell the board admins but i smuggled this thing in and put him somewhere

a small, stretched out, low quality black and white 3d render of moondrop with googly eyes that i copy and pasted onto magma

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:
