30 September 2010


today all i wanted to do was sleep. instead, i dragged myself outdoors and wandered about as usual. planted some bulbs. picked mushrooms, apples and rosehips. a hornets' nest had broken and fallen down from a birch tree. there are always varying colours from different woods and other materials the wasps have gnawed up, usually grays and browns, but this one had streaks of beautiful blue. i also found some fantastic eggs laid on a leaf, they looked like antique gunmetal pellets, neat and shiny. i spied on crickets in the tall grass. spooked a napping rabbit. and caught a moosefly.

i hate mooseflies.


almost as much as my life.
