This crazy foxglove has decided to bloom in my fall garden. They are usually spring flowers in my area. And despite the unseasonable heat and a dose of drought, it's looking quite healthy. #Bloom #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #garden

I don't make a lot of money, but if I have some extra at the end of the month, it always goes to a local charity that feeds people. A little bit from a lot of people does make a difference.

That tromboncino squash is quite the traveler. It went up the rhododendron across the path into the azalea & is coming back out again. Even though it has had squash beetles nibbling at the leaves and vine borers drilling into the stems, it just keeps on producing. #Gardening #GrowYourOwn #Homegrown

My first book quote Wednesday. This comes from the first chapter of the first book in the series. #BookQW books2read.com/u/31RKNM

A promotional post with the book cover of Arcane Detective and text from the first chapter: After the mispronounced, half-hearted chant, they would burn some unknown herbs they bought online and kill a chicken to raise a demon that would grant all their wishes. Miller knew that stopping this kind of ignorance was part of his job, too. He needed to halt the spread of Darkness regardless of the size. A drip here, a spill there, all spread out and linked until it birthed a predator or murderer and that scattered more fear and pain and Darkness. It was an unending but necessary battle, like mopping the floor of a public restroom.

There was a measles scare near me, so I had my titers tested. All good. I had chicken pox and mumps as a child. Got my usual vaccinations. I remember when the polio vaccine rolled out. My whole family went to the local high school to get it. Think I'm all set for now.

And I proved, yet again, that I cannot tolerate Stevia. Spent the whole day wondering why I was so shaky and dizzy. Then discovered Stevia in the whey protein my Dr. suggested. It was SUPPOSED to make me feel better. Sheesh. Gotta read the labels better.

I closed my online store. I think I got marketing burnout pretty badly. I had been running after all the suggestions & I think it just fried that section of my brain. When I went out to delete everything, it said the store had been inactive for 3 months. Really not worth the struggle at this point.

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

So the tromboncino squash decided to take a walk. This huge flower is hanging out of the rhododendron over the sidewalk to the back yard. I've hit my head on it twice. But at least the groundhog can't reach it. #Gardening #GrowYourOwn

🌳 The Tree Library in Sweden is a 217-volume collection of wooden books. 📖 Each volume is dedicated to a different tree species and bound in that tree's own bark. Its pages feature the tree's leaves, mosses, lichens, and other natural materials. A very cool way to document nature.

The tree book collection. Several books, their spines made of the bark, the front and back covers of the wood.

Got a new promo scam. It might not be a scam, but I'm lumping it in there. They msgd me off my website asking what inspired me to write the book their bookclub was reading. I answered a bit warily. They came back with an offer for services. I declined. They were surprised. Must be new to the game.
