Our cottage cat, Linguine! He loves the outdoors and sunnin’ himself 🌞

Actually, I love that cottagecore has given Gen Z a word for "I want to have a big garden and cook my own food and keep chickens" that isn't casually invoking colonialism and manifest destiny. I get so goddamned uncomfortable every time someone refers to their urban hobby farm as a "homestead" and I'm glad to finally see it being replaced with other terms. I will buy a million books about how to live a cottagecore lifestyle if it will convince publishers to stop marketing the "homesteader" lifestyle and will get white city dwellers to stop unironically self-identifying as colonizers.

Such a beautiful, sunny spring equinox today - I can not quite believe we have made it through winter. The chicken on the other hand know! We get to collect beautiful baskets of eggs every single day now.
May this be a blessed season of light for all of us <3 I can not wait to find out what abundance waits in the garden this year.

I love simple gifts.
Homemade jam, used books with notes and creased pages, hand crocheted hats even just a basket of extras from your garden.

August, by Mary Oliver
When the blackberries hang
swollen in the woods, in the brambles
nobody owns, I spend
all day among the high
branches, reaching
my ripped arms, thinking
of nothing, cramming
the black honey of summer
into my mouth; all day my body
accepts what it is. In the dark
creeks that run by there is
this thick paw of my life darting among
the black bells, the leaves; there is
this happy tongue.

May you take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention.
