The amazing full Harvest Super #Moon 🌝✨

The full moon rising over mountains and conifer trees. The sky is still peachy pink from the sunset.

Can I be your coffee cup

Pressed to your lips every morning a dozen times before sunrise

Can I be your t-shirt

A layer of soft that fits so well you forget I'm separate sometimes

Yes 🍋

Leftover filling from green (COTW) and red (black bean) enchilada night

2 pans of enchiladas in an oven. One with green sauce and sprinkled feta on the left and one with red sauce and shredded cheese and scallions on the right

Nothing that an adobo chicken of the woods mushroom quesadilla with feta and homemade green enchilada sauce on the steps in the sunshine couldn't fix 🤤🌞🌮

A green rimmed plate with 4 big pieces of enchilada, browned with griddle lines, beside a pile of salsa. The plate sits on a concrete garden step with a glass of lemonade.

A photo of a wide woodland stream with a beaver dam built across the water. The dam is catching leaves as they flow down the brook, so a colorful expanse of leaves is building up behind the dam. The water is glass and smooth with fall trees and a tiny peek of setting sun in the background

A profusion of pale lavender asters growing in a thick meadow with autumn trees in the background, lit by warm patches of autumn late afternoon sunlight

Digging matsuake on a tiny forest island in a rainstorm hbu 🍄🌧️🥰🍃

Two perfect matsuake mushroom buttons covered with soil on a carpet of moss and eastern hemlock needles

A tiny, moss covered island with a little bit of greenery and some small evergreen trees, surrounded by the water of a brook in the forest

Our little 3 sisters garden with the autumn woods in its full glory 🌻🍂🍁

A small garden full of corn, sunflowers, papalo, and lots of leeks in the closest part of the garden. A cluster of fading planted pots and a mushroom log in a brown paper bag are scattered in the grass around the garden. Behind the garden, a small light purple building with a metal moon and sun decoration hanging on the siding sits before a tall forest in the background. The treeline is in full fall color with reds, yellows, oranges and green oak leaves which turn later on.
