I finally started writing my paper for the philosophy of science class I am working on. I have been exausted these days, I found out I'll probably won't be able to graduate in July as I was planning, but I'll have to wait to either Spetember or November (I honestly cannot remember the potential graduation dates after the end of summer, because guess what ? I planned on being done before, but apparently not). So a lot has been going on in my head in the past days. On the bright side I am still finding time to practice Irish on duolingo, and to read, so not everything sucks.
tranquil's study challenge 2022 // Day Sixteen: Go on a walk and take some pictures of what you see! Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from studying to go out in nature.
I really want to start going on my morning walks again, but these past few days have been really cold, and I've been really busy with uni work. So in alternative I added a picture of last years walks. I am hopeful to be soon able to start with this habit again cause I really miss it, and it's super therapeutic.
March productivity challenge // 3rd March: If you could make your own garden (consider that it is self-tending, and has the perfect environment for the plants you'd choose) how would you plan it out? styles, locations, fauna you'd plant, furniture? Just talk about your dream garden.
Dream garden? This is THE question for me, so hold on cause it's going to be a long one. I'll start off by saying that I am pretty happy with my own garden, but here I'll go full on dream mode. So, in a dream world I will live even closer to the woods than I already do, so I won't count big trees in my garden. But I'd love to have some elder trees around, because I adore elderflower jam. Anyway I would divide my dream garden in three main areas, one for vegetables, one for herbs, and then one for flowers. I want to a very specific area for planting vegetables that are in season, but there's not much to say other than I would try to place everything in a very tidy manner, to make it easy to walk around and work or gather things. I would then like to have all my herbs close to each other, but not necessarily in a specific area. What I mean is that I don't mind the idea of having them around a more open space in which I can just chill in the grass and read a book. Same thing with flowers I would place them according to whatever the plant needs, of course, and then purely on personal aesthetic. As in for the kind of plants as I said I want as many herbs as I can get (basically what I am trying to do with my own real garden), so that I can use them to cook and make herbal teas. I don't really have huge preferences on flowers so I think I'd plant anything that I see and I feel drawn to, I'd like to have some roses though, because I'd really like to make rose syrups and jams. Additionally I'd also love to have a small part of the garden to plan berries in, with this I am in fact manifesting the fact that I really want to get a raspberry plant this year. Also since we are talking about dream gardens I would sell my soul to have some hedgehogs living in my garden, because a. they are absolutely adorable and b. they eat slugs, which have often been a problem in my own garden. I would go on, but it's probably wiser to just stop cause I already wrote a lot, can you tell I am excited for spring? Anyway thanks for the question, cause thinking about gardens make me real happy.
