may be slow to start but the farmer's almanac is calling for a cold winter.

“October brings the acorn moon,” says the old rhyme, when oaks shed their fruit for deer, pigs, and gleaners. Another warns: “Full moon in October without frost, no frost till full moon in November.” If no frost comes early, winter may be slow to start. #FolkloreSunday #fullmoon
Collage featuring a large oak tree in a frosty field under a pale blue sky; a vintage botanical illustration of the Common European Oak (Quercus robur) and European White Oak (Quercus pedunculata) from The North American Sylva (1819) by François-André Michaux and Augustus L. Hillhouse; a close-up of two acorns on oak leaves; and a bright full moon glowing in an orange sky.

My statement on Middle East peace
A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: My Statement on Middle East Peace October 9, 2025 After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.

#PlotTober Day 10: MC backstory & traumas

Answer the prompt on the card by quoting this post. Remember, answering a prompt is always optional. Even if you don't share it publicly, I hope the prompt encourages you to think about it privately.

After 8 years using Hobonichi Techo journals, I actually got to attend an official meetup event! 📓 Does anyone here remember my old flip throughs? 😬

Check out what the event was like in my recap: chic-pixel.com/2025/10/hobo...

I sort out what I think I'll use and send the rest to a cousin who's I college.
