Just chilling outside is an underrated activity.
Over the past several years I put a privacy fence around the back yard and built a nice koi pond to sit next to. Sitting there, because of course I have a sittin’ chair now like an old man, is both relaxing on its own and is a great time to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life (even Lemmy!). I often leave my phone in the house, but even when I have it with me it’s become easier to ignore.
For those of us lucky to have the big three mental health issues, it’s a nice self-care treatment for anxiety and depression, and an opportunity to practice controlling my attention. But it’s in addition to my medications, not a replacement for them.
But obviously it’s not the solution for everybody, and not even possible for everybody either. But just getting outside to some natural sights and sounds is what really matters. I’m sure it’s even better if exercise is involved (hiking, etc) but I have legit issues with both heat and sun so I keep my oasis close to my air conditioned home.
Are you sure they’re naps?
Sure! He hasn’t moved for days. Must be really comfy!
It must be a box office worthy dream
Thank you for the onions.
This is because farming is fucking exhausting and he just couldn’t make it back to the house.
Are we sure he’s not having a medical emergency?
“I was layin’ out there for two damn hours before anyone came to check on me! Heat stroke, it turns out. Just as well it wasn’t a stroke stroke, I’d be dead.”
Or he had a heat stroke… Go help him.
And lose my chance to take the farm?
That sweet, sweet onion money.
Across the plants‽ Is he mad‽
Onions don’t give a fuck, you can top the foliage and that shit will just grow back.
TIL onions enjoy being dominated
This is adorable, but all I can think of is bugs and spiders and ants.
I lie down in my backyard. In Australia. There are ants of all kinds. The occasional little spider goes past. Midges and butterflies and dragonflies and bees. The birds have gotten used to me so they walk within feet of me too.
They go about their business and I, mine. No harm has come to me. It’s nice to be part of their world sometimes.
Just don’t do that.
That’s not how you get pneumonia, but he may have weakened his immune system through exposure to make him more susceptible to viruses.
Its weird, as a kid i had no problem laying/rolling around in grass.
At some point a switch flipped in my head and grass everywhere ‘became infested’ with biting ants, hidden poop, and mud.
Man youd get covered in bugs so fast… not sure it would be as enjoyable as we think
Onions keep a lot of pests away, I am by no means a farmer, but I know from gardening that onions are a great deterrent for pests.
All fun and games until you wake up at home with 3 items missing from your inventory and a massive bill from Harvey.
And then an asian women in an orange jumpsuit with strange boots casually walks onto the scene.
She’s quite exhausted as well, doesn’t talk much and is dragging some weird cube.
She sits down next to him and stares toward the dàylight moon, hoping he’ll wake up soon.
Hoping he won’t want her gone.
Do onion fields smell like onions?
Not the onion
I’d say this is the onion
