one of my butterflies hatched!!
hello, beautiful. Welcome to the world.
soon it will fly 7,000 miles for the winter. Then it’ll come back, lay some eggs, and the cycle starts again.
butterflies are so cool. @Cash67, you can keep the atoms and elements and electrons. I’ve got magic.

me: I’m a normal person, I’m not some weird farm girl, what are you talking about?
also me:
after sneaking past the half-Aztec runner beans in order to find a towel, I had to go build a new sheep field, herd the sheep, and then I ate homemade lentil lasagna (with homegrown Swiss chard, crookneck squash, and onions) and then I drank my yummy black cherry limeade with homegrown spearmint and now I’m going to go do some calligraphy of all 17 of the herbs we grow in our garden (I’ll do vegetables tomorrow) (then fruit trees, except our poor Asian pear died) (I could also do berries).

Happy birthday Cellist!! Miss you, hope you’re doing well and listening to good music. If you need a good music recommendation, I recommend Górecki’s third symphony. It’s short, just under an hour, but it’s gorgeous and not a lot of people know it.

Nope.
it’s the first school dance of the year.
basically, a guy asks a girl with some big poster or dance or song or whatever else he can think of, the girl responds in a similar fashion, then you get together a whole massive group of couples, plan a day date, do the day date, get dressed super fancy, take some pictures, go to dinner, go to the actual dance (the least fun part) and then have an after party.
it’s dreadful.
but fun.

She smelled of cut grass and gasoline. Grease was splattered across her face and arms. Sunburned cheeks, a messy ponytail, the sun dancing in her eyes. She had muscle lines and calloused hands. She was beautiful.
okay, [romance author]
Come on
cut grass and gasoline?? Those aren’t good smells. I smell like cut grass and gasoline. It’s icky. If you smelled it, you’d run in the opposite direction. Covered in grease just means you can see exactly where she brushes hair out of her eyes. Sunburns are for beach girls—no one who works outside all day has time for one. You wear sunscreen, or you get tan enough that you can’t burn. Messy ponytails aren’t hot. Everyone’s eyes sparkle when the sun is in them. Callouses are peeling skin. Do you want a leper?
And guys, girls who work don’t get muscle lines. You get arms so thick they don’t fit in dresses or cute shirts, that’s all. If you’re after a girl who looks ripped, get yourself a tiny dancer…oh, wait, but that’s a stereotypical definition of beauty, and we can’t have that. People will call us sexist.
So maybe we’ll give you an athlete…someone who works nonstop at her sport, someone who’s tough physically and mentally, who’s so good at what she does watching her feels like magic.
try again. She’ll still smell like grass and sweat. Will you still want her when she has phlegm and spit and dirt crusted around those pretty lips? How about when she’s drinking mustard packets and pickle juice for electrolytes?
yeah…get over yourselves, romance authors. Do some research. We aren’t hot.
(Well, I am, but I’m the exception. Obviously).
that will be all.
