Do you also always come home with a handful of colorful leaves after an autumn walk, just like me?
Nature is a wonderful inspiration!

Three Oak Leaves is a painting in contemporary square format in which the artist Karen Kaspar used both watercolors and acrylics. Three leaves of the Red Oak or Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra) in bright warm autumn colors of yellow, orange and red float on an abstract background in various shades of blue, blue-green, turquoise, purple and pink. A firework of autumn colors!

Our club is at a breaking point. We've been renting land for our youth farming project, but rent piled up for over 5 months. We took loans just to clear that debt, and we're still fighting to keep up with rent every month.
We need to buy our own land so this never happens again — so no harvest is ever at risk.
Please support us:

A bunch of cool carnivorous plants are hitting grocery stores and hardware stores across America right about now, here's some issues with the labeling you should consider before you buy.

One of the trees was leaning over under the weight of the apples! It's only a dwarf tree poor thing. I'd even thinned the apples in spring, though maybe that just made bigger apples. #gardening

The air is heavy with humidity, and it's supposed to start raining tonight through tomorrow morning. My garden will be grateful.

The Panicle Hydrangeas have produced massive flowers that change color, from chartreuse to white to pink-tinged. (photos attached)

The tomatoes are coming in early. Two heirloom varieties are ripening: AZ Cutler and Purple Cherokee. It's a miracle that I get any tomatoes at all given that our garden is mostly shaded. (photo attached)

View of one of my two Panicle Hydrangeas that the previous homeowner planted and formed into a tree shape. The flowers are at the chartreuse color stage.

📰 America’s Biggest Irrigated Crop Is Lawn Grass 😬

🌎 U.S.: With **40+ million acres** of turf blanketing the country, experts warn that our yards have become ecological dead zones, in the midst of rapid insect and bird population declines.

🦋 Native plants otoh feed caterpillars, support specialist insects, and rebuild the energy pathways that lawns erase.

👉 Dedicate just a corner of your yard to natives and restore the wildlife pantry.
A single oak, a viburnum, or a patch of goldenrod and coneflower can jump‑start a functioning food web right outside your door.

Hey, #bloomscrolling, how would you like an intricate tour of one of nature’s most fascinating flowers, the labyrinth of the pitcher plant bloom? I also break down the way this carnivorous beauty hunts insects, along with a gallery of their lovely, flowery looking deadly traps. Check it out on YouTube :)

Pumpkin #Harvest Time!
This is by far the best pumpkin yield I've ever had. Even though I had many garden fails this year, it's good to have this success.

My golden retriever sits next to a metal whellbarrow filled with 20 small and medium sugar pie pumpkins. The wheelbarrow sits on a gravel driveway. Behind that and the dog you can see the waning pumpkin vines coming up from raised beds.

Stepping up the hustle for my live bog plant model fund. Offering direct trade of live 5 leaf clover cuttings for live sphagnum moss or potted #carnivorousPlants, just took a bunch of new cuttings. Will also sell pages of the zine as a coloring poster on Bristol paper. See thread.

First year for plums (2 kinds) and a good year for apples, apparently. I am not a good fruit grower, relying on benevolent neglect (I also have terrible soil).

Next to figure out how to start false indigo from seed.

I simply love the vibrant autumn colors!

Leaves of a Japanese Maple tree in vibrant shades of warm red and orange are shining bright in the autumn sun.

Bos dias! Lo mas complicado, para mi, en la fotografía, son los pájaros. Difícil de ver, no están parados mucho tiempo y la distancia. Me asombran las fotos que veo por aqui. Todo mi respeto. 👌👏
Dicho esto, me voy a atarear sin muchas ganas y con mucho sueño.
Pasad buen día!
Sed felices!

It took longer than I thought, perhaps I had lost that wibbly wobbly stuff for some days. 😂
But now I published my thoughts about the weird feelings of #time when we feel overwhelmed. And how to get our timey-wimey stuff back:

Yes, we can debate now if wolves invented #StandingStones by marking and how you find your #tree. 😁

After months of heavy droughts, many crops have been left dead which has threatened our efforts towards fighting hunger.
We have hope that with a reliable water source, we can grow crops, feed the need and support our community without having to worry about drought
We're raising funds to establish a permanent water source for our farming activities. With your support, we can make this happen.

Hello, I'm Manda.

I've actually been on Mastodon for a while under my cross stitch business account, @infinitybear, but I wanted to be able to post more casually, so that's what this account is for!

Aside from cross stitch, I enjoy cooking, gardening, reading, making open source indie games, and I'm just starting to get more into poetry.

I'll mostly be trying to post or boost joyful or cozy things I come across or make.

Poet, writer, artist, & avant-gardener Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925–2006) was born #OTD, 28 Oct, in Nassau, Bahamas – a fact which he would later describe as “ridiculous, not in character at all”. His father was a bootlegger, smuggling rum to the USA, & Finlay was sent, aged 6, to Larchfield, a boarding school in Helensburgh, Scotland, where WH Auden had recently joined the staff

“Et In Argadia Ego”, a stone sculpture by ian Hamilton Finlay (1976)

A slab of pale stone, showing a stylised scene in a woodland. In the foreground is what looks like a tank (i.e. a military vehicle), except it has incised lines across it suggesting that it is in fact made out of stone blocks. The scene is framed and under the frame the words

ET IN ARCADIA EGO
After Nicholas Poussin

are carved into the slab.

There are very many young people who need training in sustainable farming and caring for the environment but land still remains a central limitation for our vision and this is why GYM needs support to secure land that will serve as a practical training ground where young people can learn, practice, and gain skills to lead positive change in their communities.
