When it's too damp and chilly for an adventure, you cozy up and prep for a day it's nice out again! #cozy #maine #fall #crochet #safetyfirst #hivis #project
Cuddled up as mama works on a safety orange vest to go with mine on our woodland adventures! A few leaves still clinging, to a tree I have yet to identify but it has what looks like blueberries the size of grapes on it! We'll see what iNaturalist thinks.

Decided to enjoy one of the few nice days in my yard doing some macro photo work, and discovered you can see the snail's pulse in this video! How cool is that??? #snail #detail #macrophotography #niceweather #newyard #ecosystem

Just been out and enjoying the weather the last few days now that it's not disgustingly humid!

#sunshine #relaxing #nature #observations #miscellenious
I stuffed mini peppers with a mix of ground turkey, chive and onion cream cheese, double cheddar, and cilantro. DELICIOUS, and pairs well with a hard iced tea and lofi beats. My recent move into a space with a yard and lots of birds made me want to start a little journal to record things like seasonal firsts, and recently I had the idea that a daily planner could actually be perfect. Walked into Walgreens and found THIS! It starts now and then continues through the entirety of next year so I'm not leaving half a planner empty 😂 And it's in my color scheme! I found another Umbrella polypore in some of my favorite bit of woods around here! My first encounter was last season, they're quite tasty. My yard is full of burdock, and I think these little blooms are absolutely adorable. I'm excited to dig most of them up though, I've never tried burdock root! If I do get to stay here I'll be landscaping with a lot of native wild food like sweetferns.

What an evening! It was finally not miserably hot and humid.

The cutest widdle flip flop puppy ears in the whole world, chilling next to my fire pit with the cast iron bean pot full of turkey and rice I just pulled out. A Gazillion bubbles is maybe just a couple too many 🤣 It does looke absolutely awesome though, and is supposed to help keep mosquitoes and gnats away!

It's been a rough season for mushrooms, and the berries were a bust, but Flagstaff was still absolutely gorgeous yesterday! My partner found a lot of good driftwood he makes beautiful furniture and artwork from. #lovelyweather #flagstaff #maine #thewaylifeshouldbe #adventures

Check out this thing! Just chilling on a chunk of concrete by my front door, Meloe Violaceus apparently, and fairly rare from what I've been looking into. #bugs #blisterbeetle #maine #creature #meloeviolaceus #oilbeetle #rarebug #soundsoftheforest
This is apparently an Oil Beetle, Meloe Violaceus and from my understanding is supposed to be fairly rare? I know I've never seen one before in my life. An Oil Beetle, Meloe Violaceus, chilling on a chunk of concrete. My understanding is that these are fairly rare. They secrete an oil that causes severe blistering when squished. Pretty cool looking though!

I am SO EXCITED with how my foraging chatelaine is coming together! A compact for bug balm, pencil, match safe, and whistle. I've got a compass on the way, and the other side of my pack has pocket binoculars and my mushroom knife! #forage #vintage #woodland #adventure #muttshroom #maine #chatelaine
I thought a chatelaine for foraging tools was a fun idea, and I am THRILLED with how well it's coming together! I'm going to make a bug balm for the compact, there's a pencil I need to find a notepad for, match safe, and whistle so far. The whistle, and compass I have on the way will be on longer chains so I can use them without having to stop and unclip things and I think bending a little cocktail fork to make a hook will be perfect! The other side of my pack has pocket binoculars and my mushroom knife. A little spool of fishing line and maybe tweezers for removing thorns and splinters should finish it off nicely!

I love taking notes of things like when the first of different mushrooms pop up, I've been having so much fun with the bird feeder in my yard! I've never been able to use a daily planner to *make plans* but it's PERFECT for recording observations!

#wildlife #observation #muttshroom #chronicles
I had the idea to use a planner as a way to record dates for first sightings, and my planting schedule but figured there was no point to buying one in July, not two days later came across this ridiculously perfect one! It's absolutely great for keeping a record of who comes to the bird feeder, what I find out on adventures, and it'll be so much fun comparing year after year!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! SPARKLEBERRY SEASON!
#fall #forage #sparkleberry #autumnolive #waybetterthanactualolives #fruit #maineadventure #muttshroomchronicles #dogsofbluesky
A calm river, with golden autumn trees Autumn gold and reflections in the river This is the Autumn Olive, otherwise known as "Sparkleberry" and it is DELICIOUS The trees produce a lot of small, red fruit with light speckles, or "sparkles" and taste of citrus, or pomegranate. Each tree is actually different! They can be eaten raw, but are often cooked down into jams, and I'll be making some apple cider with them!
