green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

@Altivo barred are the most common around here; we've got great horned and... several others, but every autumn some percentage of Seattle people get mauled by barred owls preemptively defending their turf while nesting/courting. I've been buzzed by one, though it didn't actually hit me, fortunately--the description I've read is "like being hit in the back of the head by a bag full of scissors." I don't want to try it! XD

@Elizafox emjoy sleps!

@kara@occult.camp I've been doing a little research on my end, evidently in colder climates laurels do best as indoor-ish/greenhouse trees, and they can stay pretty small without ill effects. I'm definitely interested in giving it a try! :D

@kara@occult.camp @Kyna *nod* that is much simpler, and a one-time deal, instead of an on-going relationship, as it were.

@Kyna @kara@occult.camp if you're thinking of renting it, since you live a long way away from the property, getting a good, ethical rental management company is a must. the management company will take a cut of the rent, but they'll be versed in local property laws, able to interact with renters, and already have relationships with local repair/upkeep businesses.

@Altivo on this page https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Barred_Owl/sounds if you go down and listen to the "duet" calls... yeah, like that. XD

there are some barred owls making a hell of a racket outside tonight. XD they sound like a cross between angry small dogs and howler monkeys...

@kara@occult.camp evidently it's important to keep the fresh cuttings damp? or something? probably better to put Mona on researching it than take my half-arsed Google searches. *gentle headbumps*

if you bring some back, I'd be happy to try growing one on my porch. I can't guarantee that I have the right conditions, but I'd be willing to try.

@kara@occult.camp *sits with quietly* I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. *gentle headpets*

@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm I do not know who this person is, and while I'm vaguely interested in rubbernecking, I'm... not sure I'm *that* interested. :|

@guerrillarain eee, awesome! :D

@guerrillarain I don't know why but I am *crying* with laughter

our apartment is set up so you can do a figure-8 through the kitchen, bathroom, hallway, and back bedroom, and when he's in A Certain Mood and if I walk slowly enough Pooka will follow me walking around it pretty much indefinitely.

let's go to the emergency clinic in a few minutes to get lunch with you if you're up for it Thurs of Fri are both clear that the movie did not give her the depth of character that I think about it was the second artifact I can get a Subway while I'm getting ready to head out

@mawr eeeeeeeee
