This rooster crows ‘Good Morning!’ from the front porch of an antique store.
I hope your day is joyful!

Another flower that has bravely stood against the cold for many days. (Taken just a couple days ago.)
And a shout-out to our veterans who have served our country so well. ❤️

Today’s milkweed has her hood pulled tightly over her cheeks and long, silky gray hair, trying to keep the cold out.

Good morning everyone!
It was a cold night but these survivors are determined to keep letting their light shine. Actually I think the brown edges make them more beautiful.
So…challenges? Burned around the edges? Keep going, you’re beautiful.
Have a good week! 💛

Happy Sunday back to you, Pierre! 🤗 It feels like winter is really here, doesn’t it? My walk was so cold this morning. Stay safe and cozy in that storm!

A small scene from my garden, yesterday. Staying low, out of the cold wind.

Today’s milkweed is a very soft video. No surprise ending; just relax and enjoy a gentle moment. ☕️🫖

Happy Sunday, Bluesky!
I found these sweet survivors in the garden yesterday.
A pair of tiny radish flowers, refusing to let sub-freezing nights deter them from their mission.
Have a beautiful Sunday, everyone. Stay strong.

I was raking, just now. The leaf in the upper right corner of the first photo made me drop my rake and rush indoors for my camera.
Sometimes, out in nature , my heart overflows to the point where I want to cry.

Milkweed of the day.
Dark face, white whiskers, bent over and wearing a hoodie against the wind.
It knows winter is coming. It’s listening intently.

Today’s survivor.
I’ve studied this photo for a long time, trying to understand why I’m so drawn it.
This isn’t the effect of wind; it’s the flower’s natural shape.
It looks like a painting of itself.
“Feeling out of sight/ For the ends of being and ideal grace.”

Raking leaves is good aerobic exercise. Standing around with a leaf blower isn’t.
I rake the leaves on my grass but ‘leave’ them in all the flower beds, the prairie area, etc. Invertebrates need those leaves to overwinter. 🍁🍂

As the weather has cooled, the color of the kale has become richer and its flavor more mellow. 💜

Daily milkweed for Friday.
This spindly-legged seed was peering into the overhang of a chicory leaf.
Exploring? Curious? Seeking shelter for winter?

This is today’s ‘survivor’ photo.
You know courage when you see it.
An inspiration for us. Have a brave Friday!

Daily dose of milkweeds!
This is the seed pod of a butterfly milkweed, the one with bright orange flowers (Asclepias tuberosa).
But I think it aspires to be an elegant bird. 😃

Good morning Pierre! ☕️ What a delicious way to start the morning, especially the strawberries— thank you! 🍓
And cheers to you, too, for brightening our mornings in such a nice way! ☀️
This purple flower just keeps hanging on, so I’ll share it with you again. 💜 (Taken yesterday.)

Good morning Bluesky!
In the last few days I’ve been looking for ‘survivors’ — garden plants that have already been through many freezing nights and have bravely kept on going.
I take inspiration from them.
May something inspire your day and make you feel brave, too.
