slash & (later) burn.
the last few years were uncharacteristically wet: la nina brought lower temperatures and more than the usual amount of rain. so far so good. this made plants grow faster and more luscious, and nature as a whole prospered … which is sort of where the good news ends. scientists claim that, among other things, this…
t’is the season.
look at this gorgeous water! – no it isn’t warm yet. but the brilliant sunshine! there was wind, too – not too much, i have to be honest. and the cute young sailors out on the water, all prepping for the upcoming season. nat has just been named ‘most improved crew’ for the last season,…
