It is the end of a very hot day.
Pasta for supper because I will not stand by the grill in this heat.
The tomatoes are coming along very well, 5 different varieties, all of them good for everything.

Hackles raised, fangs barred, and eyes focused at the cabinet. "Hey Chloe, your crazy dog is having a meltdown." Before she could respond, Maxwell heard it too, like a car door locks opening and closing, but deeper and inside the wall.
It finally happened, I figured how the prequel is going to work.
Outlining one and proofreading the other.

I write on whatever, desktop, laptop, or a crappy notepad. Voice typing, keyboard, swipe, whatever.
I have ADHD so I write to help me stay centered and that can happen whenever or wherever.
The Sound of Rain Before You Were Born it was falling on roofs that are gone now it was moving through the grass you have never seen there were leaves that caught it in the dark and let it go again it passed into rivers already forgetting and into the mouths of fish and roots in the earth that would hold you one day no one knew you would be here listening -Gerhard Oevermann 8/11/25

Text from the image Floofus No. 21 From dark forest A small shape came Out of the night The wild untamed The hunger drives The senses keen The Wary eyes The one unseen He seeks to eat And be left alone Another just Protects his home Claws and fangs The feline fist But Dodger dodged And the skunks mist missed
True story
Happy ending

09.08.2025 23:08 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0For What You Cannot Hold Forever Walk the streets you once thought were yours, past the tree whose roots still lift the pavement in slow defiance. Listen to the sound of a door closing two rooms away- not slammed, just enough to remind you you are not alone. Keep the taste of the orange you peeled for someone else, its scent staying on your hands long after they left. Touch the railing on the bridge you stopped halfway across, not to look down, but to keep the water from leaving without you. Lean your shoulder into the wall while the microwave hums, feeling the house hold you as much as you hold it. Remember the park bench where you sat too close to a stranger and neither of you moved. Carry the warmth of the seat beside you after someone stood up, as if it were meant to travel with you. Turn toward the window when music drifts from far away, even if itโs only the wind touching something loose. Cradle the envelope that was returned unopened, its corners softened by the miles it wandered back to you. Leave a chair empty at the table tonight, for the one youโve forgotten who still knows your name. Follow the shadow of a bird across the wall, knowing it will vanish before you speak it aloud. Trace the shape of a photograph in the dark, finding the faces you miss without needing to see them. Let your hand rest on anotherโs sleeve just long enough to be remembered. Stay in the pause between one breath and the next, where nothing is lost and nothing yet begun. -Gerhard Oevermann 8/9/25

Every story requires a cat.
He his every cat I have ever owned.
I didn't know what to name him, so I named him after my brother. He isn't on bluesky
