Life changing decisions are being passed down from on high.

At the grassroots level, life changing decisions must also now be made.

Myself, I have decided to seek citizenship abroad.

I have lived abroad previously; it is fathomable.
Take note: Flowering Dogwood has a new binomial. #missouri #nativeplants
This one is a two-fer: good fall color and fruit! This is flowering dogwood (Benthamidia florida, formerly Cornus florida). In addition to beautiful spring flowers, this small tree has fruit for the birds and outstanding fall color. This native tree is a real winner for small yards. #nativeplants

I haven't seen any Common Buckeyes for several weeks but this one showed up today. We had frost overnight, but it should be warm for a few more weeks. #butterflies #lepidoptera 🦋 🌱 #gardening

🪶 The #BirdOfTheDay is #heron, and this is a great blue from the Chicago area. I posted a larger and closer view a bit ago, so this is the in-between. #birds #photography

This is one of my favorite heron pictures I took this year at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado.

If you or a relative have property with lawns, please consider xeriscaping. Use native plants or region friendly ground cover. Usually a lot cheaper to maintain and more drought tolerant.

No, It's not a Girl!

Colours aren't gendered, yet in the western world there is a persistent, if not particularly old, tradition that it is so. Why? It puzzles me. I feel a new rabbit hole dive approaching...
