August 2021: Spawn Of The Monarch & Other Sights

This is the Mexican petunia that we propagated from cuttings off the plant in the front bed last Fall:

We have several new generations of Eastern swallowtail caterpillar on our parsley:

Swamp milkweed seed pods:

Milkweed is a host plant for Monarch butterflies & we have caterpillars which I’m excited about:

I can’t believe I didn’t notice them until they got this big:

Sprig of chocolate mint right before I ate it:

A great beer for a hot day in late August:

Tag Game!

because why not?

I was tagged by @bulletincookie once long ago I wonder if she still remembers this shit.

RULES: Answer the new questions given by the previous person Write 11 new questions Tag 11 people (ok so im bad at this but if you read and want to participate, then, consider yourself tagged by me!)

1. Do you like to write? If so, what do you like to write?

Heh, I have a bachelor’s in English Literature so the past 4 years was dedicated to drafting and writing essays, but lately I’ve been doing creative writing… and by that I mean writing fanfiction and roleplays but hey, its something!

2. What’s your favorite animal?

Godammit y u do dis to me? Foxes, just, what the heck, domesticated foxes. I want a fox for my birthday.

3. How do you act around friends? Is it different from how you normally act?

No, not really. I’m just a boring person all around.

4. What’s your favorite memory?

Travelling, just getting to travel and visiting a national park for the first time! My mother is the outgoing one, without her I don’t think I would have gone to half the states I’ve visited, Mexican or American.

5. Do you call it pop, soda, soft drink, or something different?

Soda! Or sometimes chela depending on my mood lol.

6. Do you prefer to cook or order take out?

Both! Always both. I like to cook (typical Mexican-American dishes you’d expect at any typical Mexican-American household) but of course, where in the hell do you expect me to get some goodass pansit and turrón? Or nachos con carne asada? Or spicy salty pork?

7. What is/was your favorite cartoon?

Oh jeez, I’ve had so many… my earliest, fondest memory of having a favorite cartoon was Invader Zim when I was like 6 or something and the rest was a blur until everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

8. Do you have any pets?

Yes! One fat lard/chihuahua mix named Petunia, an old as balls miniature pincher named Skinny Bones and his mixed race son named Pabu.

9. What is your favorite song?

Its not hands down, never, but I just gotta add a little good ole sweet Nick 13 to brighten my day, In The Orchard.

10. What’s your favorite drink? (Can be alcoholic or non alcoholic)

Cold cranberry juice with Perrier is good for the soul, sometimes.

11. Do you prefer to shop online or in person?

In person, because for me, online is for rare stuff or emergencies also get to chat with cute retail workers in person

So then yeah! 11 more questions!

Do you have a favorite reality show?

What is the language you are currently studying? And if you aren’t, which language would you like to learn?

What was the last drink you had? (non-alcoholic or alcoholic)
