All from the last two weeks.

No water in the pond (because it's all soaked right into the soil), but this the greenest it's been in years. And it's all from the last two weeks.

Which makes those two weeks a blessing even though they've been unspeakably difficult on other fronts. We have both had to keep an absolutely punishing pace, and the expenses during that period (some of which are simply the second yearly payment of biannual bills; some of which are all new medical stuff) have been astronomical. Now, the forecast is for something like an average 15% chance of rain every day this week, and yet I think it's likely we'll get at least a small shower most, perhaps all, of those days. And we're grateful for it.

I posted Wings's two newest rings yesterday, which you can see here, and his first in The Summer Elementals series on Sunday, which you can see here (and do click through to see the full display of color in the pieces). Two new pairs of hoop earrings also posted a few nights ago, which you can see here. And he's got other things in the pipeline, but we have to get immediate matters dealt with first. That's made harder by my current pain levels, which are all-encompassing and completely unmanageable now, for a whole host of reasons; meanwhile, the costs of saving the land mount, too. We need to make sales consistently, always. All the links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities are first and foremost, the other ladder, the Thermacell lanterns particularly, because the mosquitoes have arrived with the rains, and the Gorilla tape);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before the latter half of summer, and the tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's perhaps even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
