Whippalatine

Palatine: having royal authority over a region. A blog about my adventures raising a longhaired whippet who will likely have royal authority over me. Mostly Maytag (Whippet), some Ricochet (horse), some bettas, and some arts+crafts. Mostly original content :)

Light workout the other day. We're slowly getting back into it after a winterof minimal work due to ulcers.

Baby leaves on the Cacao tree <3 I ended up tossing a trash bac over it to filter the light as well as up the humidity. I also ended up getting a water filter for the faucet to soften the water and POOF! No more brown leves! :D It took 4 tries, but I think I may be getting the hang of this tree.

Stevia! I pinched the blooms on one and am letting them go on the other.

Baby Arabica Tree! I finally figured out that it needs more watering than I was giving it, and now it's doing way better.

To all my Pokemon loving friends doing more reading these days: Have a bookmark! I'm intending to make leather ones at some point, I but I was too lazy to create the cut file and so this happened tonight, instead. Follow the links below for the higher quality versions.

Aaaaaah, I love this plant. I'll have to trim it WAY down once the puppy comes, bun in the mean time I intend to enjoy the graceful draping :)

My boyfriend expressed an interest in going to the barn the other day, and so we went :) The ponies obliged us by milling around the indoor so we didn't have to trudge through the mud outside, and I got this great shot of Rikki and Easton by the doorway.

Treats and pets were dutifully dispersed to the ponies before we headed back.

D&D ON A BOAT!

[whippalatine]

More boat adventures, this time with a Kraken!

Did a Hinata cosplay and was reasonably happy with how it came out! The jersey was surprisingly good quality despite being cheap, and the stretchy sport fabric iron on I used has survived its first washing.

A week after wearing it for the cosplay I wore it to the first night of my volleyball league and proceeded to dive ALL over the floor and generally beat on it. I had also worn it the whole day at the office before hand. It is now sitting crumpled in my overnight bag waiting for its turn through the wash again. If the white is STILL stuck on then I am sold on this stuff forever!

Also, I specifically made it tourney-legal so now I have a numbered shirt other than my JO jersey to wear!
