» It's recently come to my attention that Blue has adjusted her mindset when it comes to marriage.
» Not only is she now more open to the idea, she wants to make it a competition.
» I feel as if I'm winning either way, so I don't want to try and beat her to it.
» But I do want to have a little fun, if possible, and make her think I'm about to at times when I'm not actually planning on it.

» Do you think she'll find it amusing or react badly and I might be monumentally messing up here? Speak up now.

I said it last year, but apparently I have to say it again this year, since people keep asking: there are no oysters in the summer. This is oyster spawning season. If you got oysters now, they would be soupy and disgusting, and you would be preventing future generations of oysters. This also goes for mussels. Get some damned shrimp and scallops and wait for the Month of Harvest September.

While I'm making announcements: Do not waste your time reading The Outlander's Lady by Belladonna Seward. It's clearly written by someone who never stopped to talk to any of us, and the "plot" is just a thin excuse for increasingly dramatic sex.

I just spent forty more dollars on plants. This is your fault.

For your own mental health and the mental health of others including mine, please keep your plants out of any place where you want absolute privacy or at least out of earshot of any information you want kept secret. I know too much and they won't shut up.

The plants keep asking me to ask you when you're going to have another sleepover? I'm assuming you've had more than one. And when

Okay okay so why are so many of you people married?

There's not like a dominant religion here saying "do it or perish eternally in a lack of atmo", and it's not a law (I think?? I haven't studied many laws here but so far it's like the legal system here is ~just good vibes~), and it seems like most people choose to raise their own offspring which okay, cool, choice, don't get me wrong I'm not keen on implementing a Nursey-type system, but also ick?? but also fine. Look at me, I'm being so! freaking! open! minded!



But the marriage stuff, I can't figure it out. Are there like tax benefits?? What the hell. Why saddle yourself legally with a long-term relationship? Explain it to me like I'm five. I promise this is not me trying to shit on your customs and if I do feel free to shit on mine; it'll be cultural collaboration.





Also hi I need a job; my larder is bare, etc etc etc.

I'll take disconcerting experiences I'd rather not repeat for $100, Alex.

[Lydia Martin]

Who pushed me into the blood pool last night? I am not mad, I swear.

Follow up: Who told the children about the blood pool?

uh I just wanted to say thanks. For coming to the barns and being nice. We can't have people over at home. It always makes me sad mad wish things were different. Just wish Declan couldve seen it. he's always going on about not trusting anybody and staying safe. But is SAFE all there is? I don't wanna die an old man who was safe and tucked away in a box my whole stupid life.

Anyway I ate too much ice cream this morning and I'm probably going to die from THAT insted so say nice stuff about me at my funeral and take care of my bird. She's the best.

The Barns are really cool! So many animals and I like the food. I got Mama and Abuela cards, do you think I can bring them back with me? I've never missed mother's day before 😟

You owe me big time, Ronan Lynch Alright the Mother's Day event at the Barns is still on for Sunday even if people are still kids, so come by for breakfast and a Sunday market and to pet animals and stuff.

[ROGIER & BRIGITTE]

Hi, can you two come help Blue and me this weekend with setting up and running this thing? If the kids turn back before then it won't be that big of a deal but there's no guarantee.

Also if you turn into toddlers I'm writing you out of my will.

[THE BARNS + KATOU]

Okay. Who wants to be helpful? We've got a list of tasks for you guys if you want something to keep you busy and help out.

I need someone who's really good at folding cards.

Two who are allowed to use scissors.

Someone who isn't going to eat a glue stick.

Someone who wants to sort beads.

Any of you that want to do any taste testing.

And whatever else Blue puts on the list.

I want to go explore the woods.

I heard it moves. Do the trees pick up the roots and go PLOP somewhere different? Does anyone wanna play hide and seek? The cat says its good for hiding, but red eyes said to not go. But she went somewhere so I want to explore.

Is there a big beach?

The dogs say I got a boat but I dunno where it is. Does anyone know where my boat is? How do you ride a bo Can dogs ride a

Guess what! Since we have so many more kids than usual, Art of Expression is launching a special session of ART CAMP!!!

Instead of our usual signups, this time we're just doing show-ups! Starting this morning, kids from 5 to 12 will be with me in The Big Classroom at Cloud Recesses, and we'll have a super great time playing with all kinds of media, including paints and pastels and clay! There's room for all ability and experience levels, so if you want to make art, just come on up the mountain!

If you're bringing a kid, make sure they wear something they can get messy, and pack a lunch. If they need any special accommodations, just let me know and I will make it happen.

And if there are any kids who see this and want to come but don't have an adult yet, just pipe up! We'll find someone to show you the way here and make sure you've got a good lunch.

Annnnnnnnnd any of our suddenly-teenagers need stuff to do (or our regular teenagers, for that matter), I wouldn't mind an extra hand child-wrangling, so like...hmu if you need extra activities. I already had like a half dozen regular Vallo moms and dads responding that they'd be coming when I sent the message out to our standard mailing list.

I awakened this morning to discover that my husband is thirteen years older and has no recollection of Vallo. Is anyone experiencing similar difficulties?

( Thank you food pun gods for getting it right!! )

Needless to say, I'm buying a million packages!

Hi friends. :))))))) On the 14th we're hosting our Mother's Day event! We're hosting breakfast that's free for moms and moms to be (mom-figures too!!!) (I have the BIGGEST dreams of a waffle bar you guys don't evem KNOW) and then there's a small cost if you want breakfast too! OR you can buy things at the market and have breakfast included! I've seen a few of the cards Ronan's made and I say it all the time but even STILL, these are GREAT cards. Three are some great fiber art things too! And the flowers are already top notch, it's going to be SO good, you guys, honestly, A+++++.

When the market first opened, Ro and I talked about how our mom would have loved it, how she would have welcomed everyone, really loved getting to know people and showing off our home. She was so kind, so loving, and just so proud of literally everything we did. I miss her everyday. So if you're missing your mom or mother-figure too, or if your relationship with that person/people is a little complicated, that's okay! I understand. Please come and hang out if you want! And I'll have an extra hug for you. (maybe some s'moreos too, we'll see how generous I'm feeling lolololololololol)

( These guys want to see you too! )

I was told that I did not pass a "vibe check" today as I gave my advanced students a pop quiz. As they take said quiz, I have decided to take this as the compliment that I have to assume it was not meant to be.

CALEB

Do you have a moment?

Which is the best place to go smash things?

Because fuck you, Vallo.

( Got some more satisfying content for my tick tock. )


I gotta give some shouts out to my number sign wolfpack followers who have things like the number sign short king challenge. Getting real hard to walk into a pub with some anonymity, but every once in awhile someone shows me something they've been crafting with their own two hands and I gotta tell you, it brings a tear to this strangely ripped old man's eye.

An old man who can still kick your asses, don't you forget it.

Also, someone explain to me this online dating application thing namely how do I let the ladies (but love is love don't let anyone tell you otherwise and if they do, you tell me and I'll take 'em out at the knees with a chisel) know that the Chetney Company Inc. is open for business? That this game is ready to play? That werewolves are good all night long?

What's a thirst trap and how do I make one?
