A little out of nowhere, but how are your new trees? I know you were a bit worried a few months back that over what their bark was doing. Was the general consensus right that it was normal maturing and things were okay?
😫 I had such high hopes, but it's all tragedy all the way down!
So for those who don't know, about a year ago I rented a trailer and spent an entire weekend planting two Shumard oaks in my backyard. Dug my holes, put my fertilizer in, watered religiously, etc etc etc. (Digging holes is hard!) Within a couple months I noticed some spots popping up on the bark, which is when I made that post earlier this spring. Unfortunately, as I watched them, the spots got bigger and more appeared, and a few months ago large sections of the bark on one tree just began peeling away. The trunk was still only a couple inches around, but pieces as wide and long as a forefinger or falling off on what felt like a weekly basis. Plus the bark underneath was soft and spongy, instead of robust and hard, so something was already wrong with that tree. The guy from the landscaping service I called said it looked like pressure wounds from some early injuries before I even bought the trees, and because Shumards are so bad at healing themselves the bark just begin flaking off and let in rot and fungus. Plus, that tree also failed to put on any height at all over the 9 months or so I watched it, while the other one put on probably 6 feet, even though its bark did have a couple of injured places as well. (That one, for whatever reason, has already begun sealing well over the wounded places.)
Anyway, I ended up having that new service take out the most wounded tree, move the slightly better tree uphill, and then plant me two more oaks where I wanted the originals and also a Sweet Bay magnolia in the back corner where I lost a tree a few years ago, where it can hopefully block out the view and sound from my diagonal back neighbor. Those trees are doing very well and seem to be prepping nicely for the winter, even though it's been dry as a bone here all summer and I've had to have the hose on a rotating schedule for all four of them!
Bitterly disappointing in some ways, as I was really invested in those original two trees, but maybe one of them will still make it! Just not where I originally put it, lol.
The downside of all of this is that because I had to move the hoses onto the trees and away from my little box garden in the back, my marigolds have been utterly decimated this year. I'm not even going to show you a picture of that back box garden because it's so sad and pathetic and dry and brown. Poor little things.

2020 Fic Masterpost
I started and ended the year with my beloved #7kpp, which I know doesn’t mean a lot to most of you, but the thought makes me smile. ❤ I also posted a lot of Shadowhunters, (so many fairy tale riffs), a couple bits for BioWare (including the ten-years-in-the-making finale of my Adelaide Hawke/Sebastian Vael ficlet collection), and even one entirely new-to-me fandom in a The Old Guard gift!fic. Whee!
Most of them are very short, ficlets and flash fiction, which wasn’t the goal going into this year, but... this year broke a lot of people’s plans, didn’t it? And there are some lovely words in there, (hopefully short & sweet!), so... All in all, not that terrible for a year of apocalypses.

Is there forgiveness in the world? So we all hold and hope, journeying shadowed, unfamiliar paths. But sometimes, just sometimes, new doors open once again.
A little mystery about a precious stone... -------------------- The world that was is myth. Cathedrals are the new religion. Or internet. Or tv. The small island has lost a part of its deep mystery long after cathedrals of trees began to sprout through the once great hall’s foundation, and puppets, rulers vastly more modest than the Steward’s line now sit on short chairs and pretend they wield honour as of old.
A name comes back. Annuminas.
Why has he not come this way before? The restlessness never ceases even as the air of mystery dims. It hurts, at times, to walk unseen and unlamented through a younger, wider world; emptiness chasing him far across many lands, sticking always to the shores of the remade World…

YES YES YES YES YES THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY YESSSSSSSSSSS
IT IS!!?!? SO?!??!! GOOD!!!!??!!
I mean, I was absolutely expecting to be entertained, but I definitely did NOT expect to be sucker-punched right in the feelings (Character driven conflict! Genuine moral dilemmas! Hardison the precious nerd baby!!!)
Right now I’m pacing myself at one episode per day to make it last as long as possible, but at the same time getting more and more anxious about not knowing if they’re all going to be all right in the end (They’re going to be all right, right? No spoilers, but I really need to know if I should prepare to have my heart broken over this beautiful disaster family *cries in fangirl love*)
Also I hope you’re all having an excellent weekend and Santa Claus was generous with you yesterday :-D
Not so much any one scene, but more the progressively worse cliffhangers in Life Signs. I think that was the first time we interacted because I started yelling HOW DARE in the comments.
And I mean, really ... isn’t that how every good fandom friendship begins? Some of those cliffhangers were truly cruel I know I know.
