The night I took these I heard hissing in the woods and a horrendous wave of freezing air rushed over my body. The tell-tale signs of the Carolina haints my grandma spoke of.

Drinks at 8
We all float about
Like the Scottish weather
To don this human veil of authority
Is a burden beyond ability
Like meeting for drinks at 8
Before my mind goes about it’s appointed rounds
Sweeping up the night
My heart is somewhere in the salt marshes of my soul
And my anger is slithering silently across the fertile ground
Waiting to strike
I see ancient smoke rising from a clearing in Carolina
Silver waves crashing in on pristine shores
Words in the ether
Emotions in your tether
Meeting for drinks at 8
I think I will leave it right here
And let all the belles slip back into the shadows of Hellhole Swamp
Amongst the musket balls and arrowheads of my youth
Tonight I’ll sleep alone
And wrestle with Jacob’s ghost
And dream of Valhalla ….
….Drinks at 8

“But you gave away the things you loved,
And one of them was me
I had a dream…
There were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee… “- Carly Simon

Oh hey
Did I tell you guys that I acquired a swamp milkweed? (Look I’m collecting milkweed like Pokémon cards I don’t have a problem) I planted it in the lowest part of the yard, under a tree so it’s a bit more moist than the rest of the yard!
It was definitely a task to get it from my favorite nursery because they kept selling out of milkweed, which is a wonderful problem to have! (In fact, they sell out of a lot of native plants there- I love it!)
