#OR decorate the sattellite!

[aliceindaisychains999]

A small tierlist on who I’d trust to make dinner

[cosmic-aria]

had a really lovely Beltane with the girls last night.

crafted a bunch of wreathes and flower bundles to decorate the house, had all the fairy lights up on the balcony and built a fire with the new fire pit. set up a little altar then we made a big dinner of fruit, salad, and homemade walnut and cranberry zucchini bread with brie.

had blankets and pillows out on the balcony next to the fire and were laying around stargazing for a while, saw a lot of sattellites, a couple shooting stars, and one very suspicious glowy thing that may just been a sattellite catching the sun and reflecting it really bright for a minute but who knows lol. [and when i say balcony i mean it’s more like a large 2nd story porch that the house kinda wraps around since we’re built on a hill, but we call it the ”balcony”, there’s enough room for a 4 seater table and a firepit and a bunch of blankets on the ground to be there without any of it being a fire hazard lol].

lots of music and a bit of dancing, stargazing and cuddles with the dogs, then some late night tarot followed by some impromptu war paint, then we ordered a bunch of pizza at like 11pm and gave the delivery driver a ton of halloween candy cause no one showed up since halloween isn’t that big in australia on account of it being Not America, the southern hemisphere, and this day being beltane here and not samhain and the whole halloween aesthetic being very wrong for the start of summer lmao.

so yeah it was a great night and my housemates are the best
