Second harvest of vitex (aka chaste) berries, drying in the sun
The first crop met a terrible fate, so fingers crossed.

Bouncing between these 3 games is an extremely peaceful and enjoyable flavor of escapism.

Was trying to catch a good picture of this monarch when another swooped into view, diving at the feeding butterfly for territory-
I managed to catch this single unedited pic with my phone and bad reflexes, capturing both monarchs in the same shot and getting a decent look at the wings

It's been kinda fun trying to where's-waldo myself in the various footage posted online.. here's the best picture I've found so far. Several folks asked for permission tho, eventually one should surface with my actual face.
Promise the feed will now go back to arts, crafts, nature, and blender.

Approximately half of the chaste (aka vitex) berries of my first harvest, drying in the sun.
They've already been washed, dried for several days, now peeled and left to dry for a few more days.
I'm still cleaning the other half, it's wildly fussy but calming too.

This particular one caught me- then I realized it's because approximately 80% of my wardrobe I've sewn falls under these shades..

We also attempted growing Weld this year - this was the only one to sprout from the pack, finally doing well
Next year will either harvest for yellow dye, or let it go to seed and try again for larger crop

Forgot to post the picture of my second woad ball
Tiny ball on top is from last month's harvest, now properly dried and shrunken - the large ball on bottom is new

Meticulously placing each curve and bend, floating for hours through a forest of stems and petals to examine views known generally only to insects - getting fully lost in the process, days of peace and contemplation.
Favorite way to cope, it really is about the process and not the product
