alpharaposa | Wind and rain and shine

The cub pack had a cookout at a local park Tuesday evening that ended early due to a thunderstorm. We stayed out under the pavilion for a while, watching the storm, but finally scampered home once the tornado sirens came on.

I've been kind of brain dead this week for some reason. I've been fiddling around in Terraria when I haven't had the brain power to write or do other things. Here, look!

I made a church! Somebody asked if it "did" anything. The answer is yes. When the door is closed, no monsters can get in (except bosses who run through everything), and an NPC can live in it if I want to assign one there. Other than that, it's pretty.

This is a battle tower. It has been surprisingly useful for fighting off Goblin Invasions. I like all the space to hang banners (they give bonuses against specific monsters). I can sit near the bottom and destroy incoming waves of monsters very easily. I may make this part of my Standard Construction set for Terraria worlds.

My Kashi cereal came with carrot seeds. We finished off the box this morning, so I bought a couple of containers and planted the seeds with the cubs' help this afternoon.

We're up to five strawberry plants in the little pot we started in early April. They all have one set of true leaves now! I think that's all I'm getting, but I'm happy about them. I think I'm enjoying watching them grow more than the cubs are, though. God has been diligent about watering our plants regularly, so we haven't needed to fuss over them much.

Bored? Bioware had a goose nest on one of their buildings, so they set up a goose cam. It comes with dramatic music while you watch a goose sit on a nest. (Baby goslings hatched today, so if you're lucky, you might see more than just momma.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPfdDqQADiw
