Eventually this native California wild grape (Vitis californica) will change to a lovely red and yellow color with the drop in temperature. #nativeplants #nativeflora #gardening #garden #grapevine

We did not collect Halloween candy this year. I was still cajoled by family members to make sweet treats. Another recipe with tahini -salted caramel fudge with dates. #treats #vegan #tahini #easyfixings #homemade

A 30 minute drive can easily bring me to a lovely hike. Waterfalls abound in the Pacific Northwest. #getoutside #naturalworld #waterfalls #naturalist #pacificnorthwest #hike #naturalconnection

Every year these strange mushrooms appear near the birch tree. Is it the dead man’s foot mushroom? (There is such a thing 😆) #mushrooms #mushroom #fungi #fungus #garden

Salvia mexicana (Mexican sage) is a hummingbird favorite. The bloom color is stunning and calls our attention. #salvia #garden #gardening #flowers #plants #flora

Strawberry Fields globe amaranth has a small but pigment-popping bloom. Pretty from a distance. #flowers #garden #gardening

Jambalaya meets Pozole. A spicy plant based sausage, hominy, sweet peppers, smokey Cajun spices and a garnish of cabbage made this first soup of the season hit. #plantbased #vegetarianfood #veganfood #homecooking #soup #food #mealtime#vegetarian

If the strawberry plants produce runners you will find daughter-plants ready for propagation. I clip and grow roots in water, indoors. Gifts for my neighbors. #garden #gardening #strawberries

As the heat escalates warm loving life forms appear. Reptiles, grasses, salvias, ceanothus, and raptors. The garden accommodates this group. #ecosystem #gardening #garden #gardeningforwildlife #habitat #pacificnorthwest
