sunrise to sunset

View on the way to work, before the 90 minutes of light rain this morning. 
View of the clouds at sunset, on my evening walk.

Happy that this Norfolk Island pine is thriving. I ordered this one from a nursery in Portland, and it arrived shortly after the COVID lockdown of 2020.

It shipped as three small pines, all intertwined at the trunk. Last year,I separated them. Twice, I’ve repotted them. And, this one seems to be doing best of the three. 

The elephant bush is maybe the tenth one I’ve grown, since propagating a plant bought at Green Acres in the Summer of 2022.

Fiery sunrise, with all the smoke in the air.

on principle

The life hack is that, if you keep consistently doing healthy things even when you feel like shit, you’ll eventually feel less like shit on principle alone.
