Nature might be trying to kill me, and I have no idea what I did to Nature, other than survive its terrible winter and maybe plant things in it. Yesterday, I found this fanged skull in my backyard:
Today, I almost got squashed by a rather large branch that fell from a (mostly dead) tree in my front yard. I was doing yard work at the time, and I’m pretty sure this traumatic incident should excuse me from all yard work for the rest of the season, right? Anyway, I was saved by my cat-like reflexes, and later celebrated my continued existence with a trip to the grocery store. Yay. There’s a potential for severe thunderstorms tonight, so we’ll see if nature takes another swipe at me. Might get tornadoed.
Spring So Far:
Pros:
Asparagus On Sale
Not Winter
Cons:
Tried to kill me with a branch
Elevated tornado threat level.
I’m still on the fence about you, Spring. We’ll see.
Here’s my meal plan for this week (if I make it through the night):
Monday: Spinach Quiché, Asparagus
Tuesday: Black Bean And Sweet Potato Empanadas, Green Bean Fries, Spanish Rice
Wednesday: Spring Panzanella
Thursday: Chicken Caesar Pitas and Chips
Friday: Leftovers. Maybe some sort of fancy snack.
*Update: I’m pretty sure that’s a raccoon skull. I did ten minutes of research on Google, so I’m pretty much an expert on skulls now.
woah, did that carcass seriously just end up on your porch?
It was just chilling in the backyard, being all dead and shit.
How was the Spring Panzanella? I’m fixin’ to make it this week.
You totally should! It’s a really satisfying salad. The only thing I do differently is leave out the leeks, because those are pretty expensive here.
