Chaos Garden experiment: Accidentally sprouted potatoes in the Chaos Kitchen. Let’s see what happens. 🥔 🤞
My teeny little zinnias finally bloomed, after critters chomped them multiple times, and we grew some salad. 🥗
If I don’t do anything else for the rest of the day, I’ve pulled up dead foxgloves, transplanted coneflowers and rudbeckia, touched grass (and dragged it in with me onto a freshly-mopped floor), and straightened up the drunken gladioli. Now to solve the rest of the world’s problems.
Pan-seared mahi, bacon-wrapped asparagus in the air fryer, buttery potatoes with butter and Thai basil, and a pissed off cat who’s pouting because he can’t have any of it due to gratuitous amounts of jarlic. Not bad for a Monday.
Monday morning serenity shots from the garden. The world can be crumbling around me, but if I stay right here, all is well.
Stewie the Ninja Groundhog snuck past a trap and into the garden, where he ate a baby zucchini. But the short bastard didn’t get these cukes.
Trying to photograph water drop reflections and accidentally got an unknown critter in the frame. 🤷🏻♀️
Buffalo protein dip for my celery sticks. Sean ate cottage cheese and didn’t notice. Victory!
Gonna call this one a win! Two of the four major ingredients from the Chaos Garden!
It’s raining, and I can’t drink coffee in the Chaos Garden today. But here’s a picture of the boys looking stern and judgy.
Tell me to “Chill out”?!?!? This IS me being chill, because I haven’t even gotten started. Do what you say you’re going to, and I will be the CHILLEST of the chill.
If other people would just handle their shit, my days would be pretty peaceful.
It’s a work in progress, but I’m pretty happy with our little upcycled bird resort.
