My days are busy with manual labor. Among the \u201cneeds work\u201d of this house, the back and side yards have come alive in spring with all the shit ex-dude mowed down at ground level and called a day. So I\u2019m gardening. I hear that if you take shit out before it goes to seed especially the first three years, and especially especially the first one year, you can cut that shit out long-term.<br/></p><p>So I\u2019m on my knees digging in the dirt like a fucking peasant in the hope that one day I won\u2019t have to be on my knees digging in the dirt like a fucking peasant, and this is my introduction to landownership.</p><p>And I\u2019m like \u201cman, maybe I should invite a lowly man to make a place on my land in return for tending it\u201d and then I remember THAT<a href=\"/post/115984851428/\" target=\"_blank\"> I FUCKING TRIED THAT AND IT WAS TERRIBLE</a>.</p><p>Peasants. Can\u2019t live with \u2018em, can\u2019t live without \u2018em.</p><p>Anyway a fun thing about this is I\u2019ve been really getting in touch with my local microecosystem. There\u2019s all these plant species I keep seeing all over adapted to different conditions and I\u2019m getting something from that: THESE ones are tall because they\u2019re competing for the light; THESE ones are thick and bushy because the yard drains its water and topsoil this way.</p><p>But I don\u2019t know what the fuck anything\u2019s called so I make up my own names.
