Sitting under the blackthorn tree, breeze seeps through its branches and moves the grapevine, small bunches of fruits growing. Listening to Pink Floyd, Meddle, with its slightly unsettling undertones...
Plucked weeds between strawberries, a lot more weeds than fruits, darn, found two ripe and gobbled them, while a blackbird stared are me, eyeing the fruits.

Jetzt stehen die Schlehen im Berggarten in voller Blüte. Sogar die noch junge von mir aufgebaute Hecke am Eingang ist komplett voll damit.

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, so let me use that day to tell the world that I'm trans. I haven't exactly been hiding it but didn't explicitly make a post about it yet.
Anyway, pronouns she/her, and using Maaike as a name but Ayke is also fine.
Hmm, there might be a blackthorn club, err, walking stick in this thing.
Definitely curved for lefties, this one.
Not sure how to treat it. It's super green right now. Probably not going to cure it for 2 years in the chimney though. 🤷

Goat pen #2 is also going down.
It was full of thorny fuckers*, which got cut down and piled up for chipping, although they don't even make usable woodchips due to the incredibly hard thorns that remain intact. They'll go through boots and tyres.
Maybe LV/EE want them for planting along the border? Couple meters thicket of these and no infantry will get through. Cheaper than barb wire and always stays sharp.
* Botanical term. Common name: Blackthorn
