Holidays lead to a significant amount of wasted food that ends up in landfills. To minimize this, create a plan to eat leftovers, donate them, & get creative in the kitchen. Bring the remaining food to one of the City's food scraps drop-off sites, where it will be composted. columbus.gov/foodwaste

I have been working diligently this past year on my physical strength and endurance. A year ago I was doing aqua therapy with a physical therapist. Last week, I walked over a mile in a local park. I'm beyond happy to be able to hike again!

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Today is the first day of astronomical autumn, and where I live in Ohio we are definitely in ecological autumn as well. The sweetgum trees are dropping their leaves, and maples, like this sugar maple, are getting ready to. And birds are at peak migration.

I spent a lovely afternoon at Blacklick Woods Metro Park! I was able to hike 0.8 miles today. Much needed time spent in nature.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Today I ate a pawpaw for the first time. TIL that I do not like pawpaw, at least at first bite, tho I can see it might be an acquired taste. Sorry, Ohio!

Yesterday I did the final hem stitch on this #handwoven cloth and took it off the rigid heddle loom. The fancy row of Spanish lace doesn't look like the photo in the book, but I still like it. The cloth looks lovely, and I think it will make a nice purse.

September 1st has never felt like fall to me. Turns out, according to the ecological calendar, the sarotinal season is roughly mid-August to mid-September. The weather tends to be dryer, leaves start turning colors, and birds prepare for migration.

My spouse is all healed from their bike accident! Today they are taking their first bike ride since the accident. Fingers crossed 🤞 that everything goes well.

I hiked along the Scenic River Trail at #Highbanks #metropark the other day. A beautiful and peaceful walk along the Oletangy River. #landscape #landscapephotography #trail

I graduated from PT today, a somewhat bittersweet milestone. In the past year, Morgan has taken me from barely being able to walk across a small parking lot, to now confidently walking half a mile. I am so very grateful, and will miss her skillful coaching and guidance.
