Yes! It's all about homunculi!

Homunculus - Wikipedia

Okay, so the title "Small Prophets" must refer to homunculi.

I was very excited about the new Mackenzie Crook show, Small Prophets. (I'm a HUGE fan of The Detectorists.) But then I saw a couple of trailers that were not what it seemed it was supposed to be. I was getting depressed! But now I see this and I'm excited again.

Despite the drizzle (it's the kind you can walk around in & not get very damp) I am going to get these pansies & johnny-jump-ups planted today! I had never seen blue johnny-jump-ups before, only the purple & yellow ones. I have to be wise about where I plant them since Mr. Sykes loves to eat them.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

And if we exist in a computer simulation, there's always backup, right? They're always saying that once something is posted to the internet, it never really goes away. It's always there. Somewhere. So, we'd always be in existence, somehow, somewhere.

Dreary weather, so here i am, pondering the meaning of life.
So, everything was here, living right along even before you were born. Then you're born, aware, participating in the livingness. Then you die & everything keeps on living & existing, but you're simply not aware of it. Or are you. πŸ€”πŸ™„πŸ˜¬ ...

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

She's having a great time, but i wish she'd fill in the holes afterward! I sometimes step in them and twist my ankle a little.

NONE of my bluebonnets are up. Very odd.

Well, a couple came up - got to be about one inch tall...

And only ONE paintbrush so far.

Wonder why.

The large larvae have gone quiet & buried themselves. I assume they're morphing into adult BSFs.

The ramp isn't necessary yet. But what the 'eck.

There's a celery stick in case something needs the moisture from it.

There's used chicken bedding in there, & there's cardboard for egg laying.

That's what mine do, too!

Looks like you use rubbermaid type dog houses in your henyard, too! I use the halves for dust bath tubs, for huts to hide from hawks in, for shelter during storms, for laying huts...all sorts of things!

Not a goldfish! πŸ˜‚ I did a double take... it's a baby carrot. Silly chickens were having a little joke on me this morning.

I want to add some vines, cattails, wildflowers, & some insects. In fact, I'm going to paint over the bottom third of the whole thing & add a decaying log for insects & some fungi. That means losing the turtle, alligator, & snake. I'm finally okay with that, so I can start to move forward again.

I never finished it. There's also a raccoon, a nutria, a snapping turtle, a coral snake, and an alligator. They're all quite rabid looking! One day soon i'm going to start working on fixing them up a little. I've been staring at it a lot lately, working on it in my mind.
