PISCES AND A GEMINI 💥📣 ~ pressed up in the bathroom line ~ ::::: this is taking so long to color ::::: ‘one thing leads to another’

this is a mystery. the four sage sprouts from the second batch of 12 seeds clearly have a uniform look of sage leaves, with the texture that they have . . . which just make the first two sprouts (bigger ones on top) clearly look like they’re not. The rounded huge one looks more like a lettuce leaf, or radish greens. The one next to it, I don’t know. Is this normal variation? the four little ones are also growing at a much slower rate than the two bigger ones did. although those have slowed down, I think. #sageseeds eh, fun tho. Glad I tried growing a herb from seed.

rereading chapt. 3 of Wild by Cheryl Strayed is making me want to post this picture. I wonder why. clippings from outside has started.

more book based than drawing based this time. lyrics from a 1971 David Bowie song, then covered by AURORA in 2016 for the album GIRLS volume 3. #marcoverpage #26

last night, I was sitting on the couch and started thinking about what a bummer it is that I didn’t take a photo early enough of the sage sprout that came out looking like a butterfly. Now it’s bigger and has two distinct leaf parts, and if I wanted to draw it, I wouldn’t have a photo reference. Well, better late than never … I reached over to get it to take a photo of it, and surprise surprise! the two leaf parts had closed up again! This was especially surprising because a new tiny leaf was already starting to come up in the middle. So I got the photo of how it had looked from the start. Looked it up and this behavior / phenomenon might be “nyctinasty” or sleep movements of a plant. Common in plants of the bean family. Hmmm. #sageseeds

the sage seeds are actually sprouting - one in each pot. One started out with a butterfly shape before separating out into two, and one looks like a tiny miniature sage plant. #sageseeds

#referencephotos #febcoverpage Used photos from the “pulled rickshaw” Wikipedia page for reference and learned some things about it. 16 countries & big cities used it - Africa (East Africa, Madagascar, Nairobi, South Africa), Asia (Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong), India (Simla, Kolkata), Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, North America (USA, Canada - Halifax, Ottawa) … and the Philippines were the one exception. “The pulled rickshaw never gained acceptance in the Philippines. Americans tried to introduce it to Manila in the early 20th century, but it was strongly opposed by local Filipinos who viewed it as an undignified mode of transport that turned humans into "beasts". The main mode of public and private transportation in the Philippines from the 18th to the early 20th centuries was the kalesa, a two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage.”

3•17•26 (day 8) - saw a tiny sprout. Not sure if it’s a weed or a sage. 3•20•26 (day 11) - planted 12 more seeds in the planter pot where nothing sprouted #sageseeds

3•9•26 - planted 4 sage seeds #sageseeds

found this small crocus bulb in the middle of the narrow path of the wrinkle faced dog’s yard. Planted it and wondering how it will do indoors. Very cool that it responded within like 5 - 10 minutes to the planted condition! soil-water-sun, going from closed into what looks like one stalk, to opening. 😲
