hmm… breathing in some of the good pesticides…
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 like my great grandfather that slept for a bit on wet grass and got a pneumonia because of it and died. Of course nowadays medicine is better but it can still happen.
That’s not how you get pneumonia, but he may have weakened his immune system through exposure to make him more susceptible to viruses.
He got a pneumonia from laying on wet grass? Was it cold?
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.
Do onion fields smell like onions?
Yes.
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.
This man has everything a man needs. Well, except a robotic combine harvester obviously.
This is because farming is fucking exhausting and he just couldn’t make it back to the house.
You really have to listen to what the onions are saying, to get the best results.
I talk to mine.
Thank you for the onions.
Not the onion
I’d say this is the onion
No, it’s the onionS.
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.”
Also looks like he rolled down that hill a bit. Don’t help, just film.
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
Dirt naps.
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
+1 for interrobang
He’s dead
Or he had a heat stroke… Go help him.
And lose my chance to take the farm?
That sweet, sweet onion money.
I guess the fire ant problem hasn’t made it there.
They don’t like onions
They don’t like onions
FIREANTS DON’T LIKE ANYTHING. Even other fireants. So glad they don’t live here.
Well yeah, he owns a farm.
