Philosophical Questions: Life

People have expressed interest in deep topics, so this list focuses on philosophical questions.

What are you going to do with the one life you have?

Mostly write. I also garden for mutual human/wildlife benefit. I've enjoyed a variety of adventures and activities in the past, but at present I prefer things that minimize my need to go out amongst the nutjobs who think it's fine to cook off the biosphere. >_

Moment of Silence: Harry Lorayne

Magician Harry Lorayne has passed away.  He was a master of memory as well as illusion -- much of what he did to impress people was real, a supernary ability gained through intensive training.

... by the time he gets to the Pearly Gates, he will have memorized the names of the nearest 1000 people standing in line with him.  :D

Birdfeeding

Today is sunny and warm.

I fed the birds. I've seen a flock of sparrows, a flock of mourning doves, two pairs of cardinals, a robin, some tiny tree-clinging bird I barely got a glimpse of (possibly a brown creeper), and a fox squirrel.

The first of the tulips are blooming, two red ones in the tulip bed. There's a new kind of double daffodil blooming, not the ruffly kind, this one literally has an orange cup with a white cup inside it. The pear trees are starting to bloom too, the original one and at least a couple of volunteers.

I hauled two buckets of mulch to put around jugs.

EDIT 4/8/23 -- I hauled two more buckets of mulch to put around jugs.

Little flowers are blooming in the wildflower garden, purple daisylike things with yellow centers. I think they're anemones.

EDIT 4/8/23 -- I hauled two more buckets of mulch to put around jugs.

EDIT 4/8/23 -- I hauled two more buckets of mulch to put around jugs.

EDIT 4/8/23 -- We burned off the firepit this evening. \o/ We also picked up most of the sticks in the ritual meadow. Again.
