My heliotrope that I've had for over 1 1/2 years. It actually blooms for me! Very temperamental but it has a heavy fragrance and beautiful flowers. It's hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, so I can't leave it out in the winter. #Heliotrope #flower #plant #purple #nature #fragrant

Bluebirds at our bird bath today! A HUGE treat as they like wide-open spaces; we are surrounded by mature oaks with a river 300' away. #Bluebird #Wisconsin #Migratingbirds #Songbirds #Birds #Migratory #Fall #Nature #Wild

The end of The Flaming Lips concert at the Minneapolis Armory. Massive glitter drop and Wayne Coyne carrying around his end of concert inflated sign for Minneapolis. Yes, we were on the floor! The Flaming Lips host a great party. #TheFlamingLips #MinneapolisArmory #Minneapolis #LiveMusic

We made soft tacos with red onion, purple cabbage, cilantro, hot sauce, cherry tomatoes, and taco-seasoning marinated soy curls. After marinating, the soy curls are browned and crisped in the pan just like chicken (the texture is made to be like chicken). Delicious! #MississippiVegan #WFPB #Vegan
