This tree (well, group of trees) is merely a group of seeds in a baggie. I purchased some exotic tree “seed kits” to try to grow here. It’s too difficult and expensive to get saplings delivered, so I thought trying to grow a few interesting trees from seeds was the best, inexpensive option. The seed kits include the seeds, a little mini greenhouse thing, some specialized soil and such, and detailed instructions. I got 2 coast redwood trees and 2 eastern maple trees. The seeds in the picture are redwood trees. We’ll see if I can grow actual trees.
We had some cessation to the rain, so I worked outside on my treehouse while Art got reoriented to life-at-Rockpit.

Caveat: Poem #1743 “El vaquero de Gojangú”
ㅁ Como estamos descansando quisiera en este canzó contarles lo que pasó allá en el llano a un vaquero, nombre de Che Quim el fiero, p'acá de Gojangú andó.
– un fragmento poético en métrica romance.
I wrote this bit of poetry in around 2015. It’s a bit complex in terms of what it’s meant to be – it’s a fragment of a poem embedded in a fiction, so it has its own “author” within that fiction. I had been quite involved in creating fictional “wiki articles” about one of my imaginary countries, at the time, and this poem occupies that space. I still have some of those wiki articles hosted on my own wiki – here is the article about this poem. Note that the poem’s protagonist, Che Quim, is a “fictional character” within the broader fiction that is the enclosing wiki article – if that makes sense. He’s doubly fictional.
