My birdbath garden at mom's old cottage. Bumblebees loved the globe thistle, fritillary butterflies swarmed the coneflowers, and the red bee-balm was guaranteed to draw ruby-throat hummingbirds. There's a serviceberry tree to the left of the glider and a witch hazel tree in the border behind it. A mail-order ginseng plant liked this location and reseeded itself. Photo by my mom.

I've been taking pics of seedlings in our mutual aid garden and labeling them in our signal chat so that folks know what we might want to keep versus what's okay to weed out. Thought it might also make a short but useful thread.

First up, marigolds. I can never tell whether a marigold seedling is one of the ginormous ones or petite, but it's always identifiable as some kind of marigold once it's got its first true leaves (as opposed to cotyledon leaves).

Marigold seedlings. Two seedlings with distinctive red stems and leaves that feather out with two symmetrical prongs and one long prong at the tip. Behind them is straw for mulch. They're in a bright blue container. My left thumb and forefinger is visible on the left side, holding the plants apart.

Today I was taking some yard waste down to the compost pile and I encountered this cute fawn doing its best to remain perfectly still. I like that it can fit through the fence but none of its predators can. Today it was able to relax safely in the shade. Its only disturbance was this clumsy oaf dragging his yard waste through the woods. I kept an eye on it from our deck. I hope momma recognizes the safety of our yard and returns her baby tomorrow.

#RoseCampion & #ButterflyBush - part of our #pollinators #garden in front yard.

Close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a flower garden. Dominant hues are shades of pinks and purples. The foreground flowers are extremely bright pink, out-of-focus, and take up the bottom third of the composition. Small purple flowers form the primary flower cluster, with stems covered in soft white fuzz. The background partially reveals a grey rooftop and green trees. The scene is well-lit, with overcast lighting.

I was invited to make pieces for an upcoming ewer show. The concept was inspired by the gallery owner’s experience beginning to #garden with his family, enjoying the bounty daily, and using #handmade ewers to drizzle olive oil and vinegar over fresh veggies. I love making pots that pour, so the prompt was a welcome challenge, allowing me to combine multiple elements that I’ve practiced over the years. How would you use these pots?

A decorative ceramic ewer with a spout, featuring intricate geometric patterns and vibrant colors, accompanied by a matching plate. The surface is decorated with carved lines and small raised dots. A row of aqua diamonds encircles the rotund pot like a belt through the center. The jug has a curved handle and a wide, flared opening. The colors are black and dark red with deep aqua accents.

The two ewers facing each other, the taller orange one on the left and the shorter black one on the right. The different spout heights create an interesting negative space between the two objects.

The long neck features concentric rings and the round body of the ewer is decorated with geometric patterns, carved lines and tiny raised dots. It rests on a shallow, matching plate. The background is a warm tan color.

In this handmade abstract watercolor painting, two oak leaves in warm orange and yellow fall colors dance in an autumn breeze that drifts and swirls them through the sky.
