In Which the Blog reach 950 posts! A lovely Holiday Season approaches!

Good morning, my dear friend, and I wish you a happy Wednesday! How are you, this fine hour? As for me, I am okay, just waking up, really. The weather here is one of quiet transition, to spring. I can still use thicker blankets, but the days are longer, and the sun is more bright. Not exactly a good thing, I don't like summer, that is approaching. The only saving grace is to have Christmas season also upon us, the season of 2026! And all the memories of happy summer vacations, with the christmas trees and the great deal of lovely santas around it. Grandma used to go all in for the decor. How I miss it... I pray I can emulate it, when I can. Today, grandma is 82 years old, she is aging, as it rarely can be helped. She is tired, and she lives in an apartment nowadays, as such, she does not do the Christmas stuff as vigorously as some years before, alas.  There is no such thing as forsaking the long holiday tradition just because "times changed", whatever that means. No. Jus...

In which we have another poem in homage to Wirt!

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday to you and good afternoon! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope things are well and calm! How is the weather where you are? Here, I could notice, even if the forecast didn't suggest anything, that the weather in well shaded areas is bearable and fresh, at least in the morning, how nice is that? No rain, but I can sense winter is here, and I believe it will be raining again soon! I can't believe my midyear vacations are coming, and with them my reposition tests... I will lose some disciplines on college, that is for sure, but I hope the situation may be better than I'm predicting! And I think it will! I'm faithful it will be better than expected! Does it matter, this is what I wonder, as I plan on changing my course in college, indeed, I am planning on going to do design, and I must say I'm excited for it, I hope it may be a good one, I need to check what I need to do in order to actually do so, I better look in the site and ask my mom, but apart from that, anyway, I'm so happy it is June, and so far I'd say things are going calm, which is always nice!
Today isn't a day for posting, usually, but yesterday I told the people in one discord group I'm in that I have finished my poem on Wirt, and one of my pen pals there, Skool, sent me quite a small but enchanting rhime on Wirt! I am not sure if he watched the show, I better ask him later. I did ask him if I could share the work he was sharing with us on the discord group also on my blog, and he agreed, much to my delight! So here it is! I am not sure if the rhymes are correctly assembled, but apart from possibly that, I haven't change a word on his poem, that I find a nice homage to Wirt! So here it is!


UNTITLED
By @skool, can be found on Twitter at @skool_tv

Wonderful Wirt 
Of Over The Garden Wall
Of Humble Birth 
He mans the stall

His father ran
Fresh fruit from the farm 
he helps run 
With charisma and bundled charm

He's doing well for himself
Is it enough?
The days are long
The work is tough

Selling his sweat though speech well hardened
He has one goal
To be the lord on the other side
Of the wall well gardened.
...

And this is the poem! Though not entirely based on the series, I thought it was one quite worth sharing with you, dear reader, hope you like it! And I'm happy to be writing this extra post here today, quite a lovely ocasion! Wonderful to see you, wish you the best like I said before, and you are the best! Thank you so much! See you next time soon, hopefully!
