Ten seconds of autumn.
That's one inhalation and exhalation. You've got time for that.

I can't control the world.
But at least I can cradle a stunned Eastern Wood Pewee until it's ready to fly again.
This juvenile flew into a window.
I heard the thump, ran out, and scooped it up, out of the reach of the dogs.

It seems that I must ask permission before entering and when exiting the woods.
Permission granted...
Grudgingly.

I love how ghostly the deer appear in these photos.
Lil Momma snorts at me now, and they all disappear.
Poof‼️. The 🌳forest🌳 swallows them.

Momma Doe has dialed back her "I'll jack you up" energy.
But she's still keeping a close eye on me while her growing fawn frolics about.

For #TidbitTuesday, we go Beyond The Path to check out more edibles in Eden (The Wilding of Em's Path).
And yes, I'm going to get my thesaurus and brush up on synonyms for "wild." 🤣

This young gent wasn't in a rush to get away from me.
I don't think he's as smitten with me as I am with him.

Sit back and let the rain and woods tell you about how they met again, and we all fell in love.
It's an outstanding overstory. 🤗

The video quality looks like it's from an attempted recording of Bigfoot.
Nope. 😂
It's just from me TRYING to still my hand as I fangirled over this fine, young buck.

For #TidbitTuesday, we're going Beyond the Path to talk chicory.
In The Wilding of Em's Path, Cynda drinks hot chicory, a drink made by harvesting, roasting & grinding the roots.
It has a bitter, nutty taste, much to my liking (but not everyone's).

I had some lovely and unexpected company today.
Unexpected because there were 3 young bucks herding together.
I usually see a young buck with about 3 does. Or I see a herd only of does.
This was a nice meet n' greet. 😍

The cicadas are singing their aging-summer song.
I like to think that they're welcoming me home.

Pokeweed is lovely this time of year.
In a few weeks, the green berries will deepen into a lush indigo.
And various critters will get MESSEDUPINTOXICATED by eating them.
Remember, though...
No touching these toxic beauties.
