Cuddle Party

Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes. Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime. So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace. Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.

We have a cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket. A nest full of colorful egg pillows sits in one corner. There is a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs. A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper. The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone. There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity. Now there is a hammock too. Come snuggle up!

Birdfeeding

Today is sunny and hot.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a small flock of sparrows, a male house finch, and a mourning dove.

I put out water for the birds and watered a few plants. 

EDIT 5/31/23 -- I picked up cut brush from the yard by the house and dumped the trolley on the brush pile in the ritual meadow.

EDIT 5/31/23 -- i started cutting weeds around the ritual meadow.

EDIT 5/31/23 -- I hauled cut brush from the savanna to the brushpile in the ritual meadow.
