But seriously, when we got our property, it was all just…grass. A sterile grass moonscape, like a billion other yards. With two big old maple trees. Just grass and maples, that was it.
But then I got my grubby little paws on it, and I immediately stopped fertilizing, spraying, and bagging up grass clippings and leaves. I ripped up sod and put in flowers and vegetables. I put down nice thick blankets of mulch around the flowers and vegetables.
When I first was sweating my way through stripping sod, I saw a grand total of 1 worm and 0 ladybugs. The ground was compacted into something that would bend shovel blades.
Now, six years later, I can’t dig a planting hole without turning up fourteen earthworms, and there are so many ladybugs here. Not the invasive asian lady beetles; native ladybugs. They winter over in the mulch and in the brush pile. I see thousands of them.
The soil is soft and rich. There are birds that come to eat, and bees of many sorts.
Like this is something that you, yourself, can absolutely change. This is something that you, personally, can make a difference in.
Like, last year I watched no fewer than twenty-nine monarch caterpillars grow up on my milkweed and fly away as butterflies. I watched swallowtails and moths grow. There are hummingbirds fighting over flowers now.
I did that. Me. You can do the same.
Is this post about making a garden or beating depression
As someone with clinically diagnosed anxiety and depression;
Yes.

yes I DO live under a rock and her name is the Moon and she is always smiling but she teaches me nothing
Okay so before I begin, there are two things you should know
- I work at Disney World
- I play a fun little game with myself where whenever I see a white dude with facial hair and a baseball cap, I think “haha is that Tyler Seguin”
Okay so today at work I am Tired. Like, just so very tired. I work at Disney World. But I digress. I had someone’s break and to get there I needed to go through the VIP Closet
The VIP closet is the name of the room at my ride where we take celebrities so they can avoid lines/crazed fans before they get on the ride. But like, usually the people in the closet aren’t actual celebrities, they’re just rich.
So I walk into the VIP closet and there’s a group of people there with their Disney Tour Guide. I smile at a dude in a tight black t shirt who has facial hair and a baseball cap and I go “hey!” (my brain asks itself if that’s tyler seguin and then laughs)
“Hello,” he says back, and I go into the utility closet to call the person I needed to break. I don’t think much about it. You know, it’s just life. I’m barely paying attention and I’m exhausted.
So I go into ride control where I’m assigned for the hour and I sit and look at all the guests getting on the ride. I see black t shirt and once again ask myself if that’s Tyler Seguin. Then I notice that the guy next to him is wearing a bruins hat and I have to restrain the urge to make a snarky comment.
So black t shirt is chatting with Bruins cap and I’m still just standing there in my little booth going “haha is that tyler seguin” because I genuinely think that I am hilarious. (I am not)
And then Black T-shirt turns to me and I really look at him. Like I look at his face for realsies. I gasp and have one thought.
- That is not Tyler Seguin
Who was it, you ask?
Chris Evans.
I love how the cat seems genuinely interested in most of these things
- They didn't want to sit through demeaning and bigoted religious services just for a place to sleep. (Church run food banks do this a lot too btw).
- They were late and the shelter wouldn't let them in and voided the rest of their allowed stay bc they didn't call and tell the shelter they couldn't make it in before closing.
- One of the other people at the shelter got violent/threatened violence and the shelter refused to do anything about it.
- One of the SHELTER EMPLOYEES/VOLUNTEERS got violent/threatened violence and the shelter refused to do anything about it.
- The shelter refuses to disclose if allergens are in the food they're providing saying, "This is all you're getting, be glad for this much and thank god!"
- Shelter refused to believe person is homeless saying, "You are FAR too clean and nicely dressed!"

what I wouldn't give to have the gastric constitution of a nine-year-old again. like you know when you're in grade school and you're like okay I'm gonna have some gushers and pizza and one of those dubious chalky grocery store cookies and then go run around with my friends! and now as an adult if I eat the wrong brand of peanut butter I have to lie down for an hour
seeing people in the notes who are like "it's a good thing I can still eat whatever I want 😇" and they're like, 19... I was you once. and in a couple years you might start to suspect that your favorite fast food joint is giving you mild food poisoning every time you eat there. they're not. it's the milkshakes. go buy some lactase pills.
