Sunshine Challenge: Green

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

A couple of things on green.

I am participating in the Mystery Stitch A-long on Shitpost Sampler. So every 3 days in July, they reveal a 10 x 10 part of a cross stitch that is 40 x 30. We're on #6. The main two colors are shades of green, and the accent color is yellow. I'm putting my progress in the cut in case anyone wants to try it and doesn't want to be spoiled. I don't know what it's going to say, so if you can figure it out--don't tell me!







And a Good Omens poem. In the Lockdown Good Omens youtube video, Crowley says he's going to go back to sleep and set his alarm for July because surely the pandemic will be over by then. Since it's July, it's time to #WaketheSnake.

Angel & Demon Lockdown Poem by okapi

an angel waits through plague and days for a sleeping demon who is incommunicado
said demon rests as still and as deadly as the fabled cask of Amontillado
while angel pours through dusty first editions, literary El Dorado
and sips cocoa while humming showtunes, songs from My Fair Lady to The Mikado
and keeping an eye on the gas ring, where simmers a spicy beef carbonado
but days and nights go by, demon-less existence becomes gentle bastinado
at last, as angel contemplates a career as ethereal desperado,
the serpent stirs, stretches, yawns, declares, ‘Oh, damn, it’s all still One Big Avocado!”
