Whenever I pass by this spot during autumn, I get a warm glow in my chest.
This is the inspiration for Dr. Sonja J. Storey's wild tangle in my #debut, #darkacademia, #psychologicalthriller Strange Attractors.

Confession:
I often walk around with acorns in my pocket.
And when I find a perfect spot, I remove an acorn, kiss it, whisper good wishes to it, and let it go.
Yes, I'm a weird #mountainwoman 🤣

A mountain morning in the autumn woods.
Hope you enjoy and are inspired enough to plant a native tree. Or two.

For years, I thought this was a Norway Maple.
Once in a while, I'd look at the leaves and think, "No, Japanese Maple."
But I've never seen one this big in these parts.
Recently, an arborist confirmed, "No, Japanese Maple."
Whatever humans call it, this beauty is a showoff.

I almost scooped up this sweetie to get it out of harm's way.
Fortunately, my brain came online & I remembered that it's a dagger moth caterpillar
It can cause skin irritation.
So, I used a fallen tulip poplar leaf to move it to cover.

It's gorgeous out, but it's also nearly 70 degrees.
Too warm for autumn in the mountains.

Meet the Aphid Lion (Green Lacewing).
This adult is a fantastic pollinator.
In larva form, it gobbles up aphids, spider mites, & other critters that can harm plants & trees.
Aphid Lions are great neighbors,
another reason I don't rake fallen leaves, their winter shelter.

Three points.
1) Artists impress the hell out of me.
2) This is the kind of fierce feline energy I need in the world.
3) Yes, if it sprang to life, a VERY dumb part of me would want to cuddle it.

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.

MARGE: “I don’t think it’s good advice that a government shutdowns helps Republicans in the midterms. I also don’t think it’s good advice that Republicans ignoring the health insurance crisis will be good for them in the midterms. I actually think that will be very bad.”
