In the future, children will think our ways are strange. "Why do old people always grow so much milkweed in their gardens?" they'll say. "Why do old people always write down when the first bees and butterflies show up? Why do old people hate lawn grass so much? Why do old people like to sit outside and watch bees?"
We will try to explain to them that when we were young, most people's yards were almost entirely short grass with barely any flowers at all, and it was so commonplace to spray poisons to kill insects and weeds that it was feared monarch butterflies and American bumblebees would soon go extinct. We will show them pictures of sidewalks, shops, and houses surrounded by empty grass without any flowers or vegetables and they will stare at them like we stared at pictures of grimy children working in coal mines
What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.

If you know someone with a garden be their best friend. Tomatoes are always given away. These friends sometimes sell but at prices you can afford for good veggies. Buy a crockpot. Roast chicken in crockpot. Eat delicious chicken, majority of it. Add water to whats left and veggies and let it go all day. Got chicken soup. Add noodles at end before eating or you get a gloopy mess. 10 bucks for something a couple can at minimum eat for three days. I freeze extras for lazy days when cooking sounds awful.
my parents aren’t teaching me life lessons.
#i need some adults to TEACH ME SHIT ABOUT LIFE
anyone who told you much ado about nothing is good and worth watching was RIGHT and you should listen to them
got that autumn feeling.
