Here is a look at my backyard from a previous year. Photo is taken from the top of a berm at the rear of my lot, looking down towards the house. Almost all of this was grass when I moved here. Now it’s almost all cultivated. Things have been rearranged a bit since then but the layout is the same. 🌱💙

Good morning Bluesky!
The rooster has decreed that it’s time to rise and shine!
On this Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for a warm house and enough to eat.
Whatever you’re doing today- working, traveling, cooking, walking in the woods…put a song in your heart and be happy. 🎶❤️

When the headwinds of life are blowing, and you feel alone, stand your ground. You’re beautiful. You may look fragile but you’re stronger than you think. Stronger than they think. You got this!

Something bright for a drippy late November day.

Cold drizzle, rain, and snow are on the way.
I think this calls for a dose of bright summer cheer.
Here’s to summer. ☀️🥂

A gentle milkweed for your Monday.
Amid the craziness of travel, shopping, cooking, cleaning, dealing with relatives, etc, please do two things. First, take care of yourself. And then, consider those who are alone, grieving, ill, hungry, troubled, and in need of kindness.
Have a good week. 🧡

Good morning all!
During this Thanksgiving week, I give thanks for gardens; for the miracles contained in seeds; the fascinating interactions between soil, roots, microbes, pollinators, air, water, and sun. All of it comes together under our watchful care to make our food and incredible flowers.

Today’s milkweeds are cuddling on a frosty morning. ❄️
Maybe they’re dreaming of becoming dolphins, swimming in a warm ocean. ☀️

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

Happy Sunday to all of you!
Today I’m grateful for color in our brilliant world. Having relatives who were colorblind, as some of you may be, I realize what a wonder and a blessing it is to have color vision. And imagine — many animals see an even greater range. 💛🧡

Frosty seed capsules of Great St Johnswort, a prairie plant native to parts of the northern U.S. and Canada.
While trying to recall the Latin name of the type of St Johnswort with large brown seed capsules, Lord Google, in his infinite wisdom, tried to sell me *capsules* of St Johnswort herb. 🙄🤪

‘Tis the Season of the pumpkin, rich in spices and tradition..
This Thanksgiving let’s remember the farm workers who planted, cared for and harvested the beautiful pumpkins in that pie. 🥧

These aren’t Frosted Flakes, but similar enough to be enjoying them with breakfast.
