No Children’s Hospitals but lots of lead paint. Good Lord, he must have eaten paint chips for breakfast every day because he has turned into a cuckoo.

I thought I would share these photos of a lawn ornament of what I believe to be Dionysus from the terrace at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. Loved that episode!

This tree stump looks like a bullish super hero just landed after. Jumping off a building.

Before and after on some new material that I pulled from a buddy’s yard where it was struggling. I believe it is a Fraser Fir.

Onion flowers. Spindly and wild. Glad to have dirt under my nails.

Japanese red maple, meet red bucket.

I picked this up on my walk thinking I had found a cool decorative plant to find out I had found Jimson weed! I have always wondered what it looked like. Wild stuff and a fascinating plant….but I ain’t planting any!

This is what Helene recovery looks like on the Blue Ridge - strong roots send new shoots, in spite of all that’s been lost.

@weratedogs.com These two little pups are Soleil and Luna. They were spayed on Monday - the same day we were able to adopt them after fostering for two months. Recovering well, but could use a little extra love (just like all of us).
