I'd like the plum thing to work out because this dwarf beach plum looks wonderful: https://oikostreecrops.com/products/organic-fruit-trees-shrubs-plants/wild-plum-trees/nana-beach-plum/

I've read enough about how plums are a good fruit for a forest garden design, but I really can't remember the last time I ate a plum. do I actually dislike plums or have I just not given them a chance? I think I had plum pudding which I didn't like very much, but I guess I should just try a raw plum and see how it goes. I'm so adventurous.

played quite a bit of breath of the wild today. it's really, really good. foraging for food is so satisfying that I can ignore the main story for a long time.

@MutoShack it has been broken for several days for me. I hate when YouTube breaks newpipe!

*drake approve* *light fluffy snow*

snow tomorrow, and probably a lot of it. might be fun but it's also been nice to not have to shovel yet this winter. I hope its not the wet heavy stuff that makes me want to die.

finished reading Edible Forest Gardens Volume 1. for a book entirely about ecological theories, it was surprisingly engaging. now, onto volume 2 which covers how to put the theory into practice.

love when someone tells me my card is declined when i know that cant possibly be the case and then I go somewhere else and it works just fine.

merry xmas y'all

for xmas he gave us all dolphin whistles (his product that he sells to gift shops) with our names scrimshawed into them. the vibe down here is just so different.

@keverets the harp was already here. but he has a larger one at his own house.

my xmas eve: my wife's aunt's boyfriend rode his motorcycle over and is now playing all the classic xmas songs on a harp. key west, y'all.

I also got to serve her dinner

this is Funny Face. she is very fluffy and nice and sat in my lap.

hard to see but this big ol iguana just fell out of a palm tree and onto a shrub next to where I was sitting.

the thing I really like about the houses here in key west is that all the vegetation is so densely planted next to them. you can barely even see some of the single-story houses from the street. the houses are so close to each other, yet it can feel like you're sitting in your own private jungle.

holy moly the size of this fiddle leaf fig.

The Café in Key West: best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been to.
