So, I picked some dried magnolia fruit. The red seeds are tucked away in a cool dry space to wait for planting next year.

Check out how the red seeds were each attached by little “threads” and dangled from the dried fruit/cone/thingy. 🌱

Wish I could sue the people who moved, abandoned their cat, refused to come back when the microchip company contacted them (2x), & left this poor baby homeless. I have spent a lot $ just keeping him fed/meds.

Would love for the county to press charges! Broken system, tho.

Some humans suck.

They often land-leave-return to the same perch, making it slightly easier to take their photo.

I love how this bird pecked one peanut, then chose another which had already broken open.

I remembered to replenish the (unsalted) peanuts on the front steps, and this lovely Blue Jay came for lunch.
