What a fun & perfect photo!

I was a bit confused. Even concerned. Is Rex in the leaves? Why? Is he okay?

Wow thanks. I was like “what is that dog up to?” Getting cozy on a cold day (he’s got a real serious dog house with insulation and so many blankets).

It’s really so much fun because it does come up every year and I’m so thrilled!

He was so cozy and I was so surprised. He reminds me more & more of my Chrissie dog from so long ago. Chrissie had a wild heart, too, and would rather sleep in the hay shed than in the house, even on the coldest nights. I’d call and call into wintery winds and she’d ignore me. I miss her very much.

Leave the Leaves!
One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.

Sure enough. Was probably on edible time tbf.

ofc you’ll be excited you’ve corrected me: DYK that one of the original proponents of daylight saving time was an entomologist from NZ, George Hudson? He wanted more time to look for bugs after work.

A hero who fought for our right to look for bugs.
