“this makes me personally uncomfortable”, “this seems in poor taste”, “this is somehow harmful but presumably because you’re misinformed” and “this is actively malicious” are all different things. remember that

I missed the window to harvest elderflowers from my trees, so Pan & I climbed to the plateau yesterday, knowing that trees at this slightly higher elevation are always two weeks behind in terms of seasons (nature's gift to procrastinators.) I made the syrup this morning—I was able to make 8 jars of elderflower syrup out of that one basket of flowers :)

We had an intense downpour just after I took that basket pic, and I'd left books laying around in various places outside my house (the outdoor table, the hammock in the pasture...) It was windy and I could literally see the curtain of rain advancing in the direction of my house like a flying tidal wave so I started running downhill like mad, to Pandolf's immense surprise and delight. Nobody ever wants to race him except Pampe sometimes, so it absolutely made his day. I usually try to go around inhabited pastures so as not to bother the herds, but we had to take the straightest path so we crossed 3 pastures full of cows who watched in utter bemusement as an ecstatic dog and a desperate human with a basket full of flowers zoomed past them trying to outrun a cloud.
