The first round of raked leaves went directly into my garden that's fenced/walled on all sides so they won't blow out. The second round was mulched (less ideal but it blows around too much here). #leavetheleaves

Wrapping up my daughter's present 🦄
A package is wrapped in brown paper. On the paper is a hand drawn unicorn head sketched in black. Pink and purple ribbons are glued on to look like a name. A birthday hat (conical, silver, with purple faux flowers on the base and point) is placed on top of the package to look like the unicorn is wearing it.

Already getting so many more ideas ( #nativeplants) from my last visit to Garden in the Woods. A few of my faces from my last walk, plus striped maple, which stopped me in my tracks from two directions.
Spotted joepye weed blossom in varied ranges of openness. It is white to purplish pink, and it smelled delightful. Sweet pepper bush blossom. It is a dozen or so small white flowers with golden stamen on a leafed woody stem. A Virginia meadow sweet flower. It is bright pink and violet-shaped, with droopy, bright yellow stamen coming out. The overall effect is quite gaudy. Purple pitcher plant with sign: "Sarracenia purpura. Purple pitcher plant. Sarraceniacae. Midwest to E Coast." Five green pieces with red tips grow from a central base.

Garden bugs 🐛
A stilt legged fly on a large violet (the plant not the color) leaf. Some kind of brown moth on a plant leaf. A bumblebee sipping nectar at a wild bergamot blossom. A small bee collecting pollen on a black eyed Susan blossom.

Loved PUMPKIN SPICE CAFE by Laurie Gilmore! A small town romance that didn't give me the ick 💓
A hand holding the book The Pumpkin Space Cafe by Laurie Gilmore. The cover shows a drawing of a storefront with a bistro table for two in front; on the table are two mugs and a plate with a pastry. The double doors are covered with a red and pink striped awning with scallops; autumnal wreaths hang on the glass doors. One of the doors is ajar and a white cat is coming out. Decorative pumpkins, florals, and corn stalk are arranged around the cafe front.

Really enjoyed this book about plant senses. Some of the biology terminology was over my head, but overall an easy to understand read and PLANTS ARE SO COOL!
The cover of the book "What a Plant Knows: A Field Guide to the Senses" by Daniel Chamivitz. It has a blue background and 5 seedlings sprouting up from the bottom.

Really loved HIJAB BUTCH BLUES by Lamya H. Just a beautifully gentle yet revolutionary memoir.
A hand holding the book HIJAB BUTCH BLUES by Lamya H. The cover is a woman turned three quarters away from us wearing a hijab and hoodie sweatshirt with her hands in her pockets. She is looking at a graphic that is orange, red, blue, and green, reminiscent of a sunset over the water.

Oh look, I made another one.
A 3x3 inch cross stitch of a mushroom cottage. There are 4 smaller mushrooms below it, and on either side is a flower with a swirly stem.

When the author has Done. The. Research. Damnit!
A book page reading "'I had a beer with Bill Hockney last night,' his father said. 'He was fishing over in Yarmouth, had a striper on the line, and a seal snatched it right off.' 'I'm not surprised,' Justin said. Halichoerus grypus, gray seals, were the most common species of seal found in Cape Cod waters during the summer. The males could grow larger than 10 feet long and weigh over 800 pounds."
