Welcomes, a cool project, and a garden update

Cool Birthday Project

xjenavivex has a really cool birthday request -- she's asking her friends to check out other friends who are artists, writers, poets, photographers, and the like. As a result, she's compiling a list of really cool people, some known pretty well here on LJ (such as Seanan McGuire) and others who should become much more well-known (like haikujaguar ).

Her initial post is at: http://xjenavivex.livejournal.com/346086.html, though she expects to be updating her list of cool creative people to check out throughout the month of August.

What a cool idea! I should do this too--no, wait, my birthday is also in August.

Redundancy is sometimes useful, but one source in a month of friends-of-friends recommendations seems to be quite sufficient. So instead, I'll pimp her efforts. You should go check this out. There's enough links that everyone should be able to find something they enjoy.

Welcomes

Welcome to new friends, flutterbychild jdoggiedogg upstart_crow m_stiefvater morvashepley mount_oregano agrbk red_trillium jolantru patesden sythyry miintikwa and xjenavivex

Wow, I guess it's been too long since I did a welcome post! And if I missed anyone, welcome to you too!


Garden Update

As to the garden, I promised a picture or two of the mulberry tree. I'm not particularly satisfied with the pictures; somehow it was easier to see the tree that shall be in the twilight. Perhaps that was inevitable; twilight is a good time for dreams, after all. But I promised.
