🪵 Spouse built our first “dead hedge” today.
If it holds well, we’ll likely build more. (We can’t burn or mulch the volume of branches and sticks that we get).
🎲 What monsters do you immediately turn to in order to evaluate a game or monster manual? #ttrpg Reshares welcome!
🕊️ RIP Francis.
Admittedly, I’m about as low-church as you can get, but Francis seemed like a pretty decent person as far as popes go.
