An odd patch of forest floor. I normally hate #allthingsautumn, but this is one of those moments where charcoal black and wilted brown form an endearing pattern. #forestwalks

A top-down view of the damp forest floor covered in dark charcoal bark mulch, wet soil, and scattered twigs. Pale, wilted oak leaves and fallen acorns create a high-contrast, natural mosaic pattern across the dark ground.

Low autumn light. Cool, bright rays blinding the eyes. #fungi #forestwalks

Blinding autumn sun hitting a pale mushroom cap, reindeer lichen, lingonberry leaves, and a sandy path, making them stand out in stark, bright contrast against the dark, silhouetted forest.

There's this small stretch of woods near my house. It's grassy, mossy, bushy and damp, but it constantly has boletes growing in the oddest shapes and groupings. 🍄 #fungi #fungifriends

Two brown bolete (birch bolete, I guess) mushrooms growing sideways out of a mossy, decay-covered tree trunk, surrounded by moss, bark, and pine needles on the forest floor. They look like either arms of a boxer, letter T or one shielding the other.

Finally, the forest had the goods for me! Otherwise, is the beauty of its tall trunks, scruffy mosses, and beaded berries enough to sustain our love? Probably not. #fungifriends #fungi

Leccinum niveum (Ghost Bolete). Probably...

#forestwalks Lingonberries, heather, lichen. The forest floor as the summer dies. Dried up, crisp, yet mesmerizingly beautiful.

Lingonberry plants dotted with bright red berries carpeting a pine forest floor, with heather and pine trunks visible in the background.

This pickle jar has OPTIONS. Like those choose your adventure books that were briefly the fashion. Tomatoes, pepper, onion, purple basil, garlic - take your pick. Plus a visual treat. I like colors. #gardentotable #vegetablegardening

August is the time when the acute need to make something tangible (as opposed to the intangible stuff I do for work all day) turns into random pickles, preserves and jams. #gardentotable #vegetablegardening #cooking

If I had a YouTube channel, it would be #cooking. Scrambled egg, Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, a splash of coconut cream and spices. One wok, barely any prep, 15-20 minutes, tastes amazing. #easymeals

First #mushroom photo of the year! Most likely Amanita rubescens (The Blusher). It's not the season, not yet, but it's already when the hope starts. So I go to beaches where there is a good mushroom spot on the way to check if maybe - just maybe - the first #fungi are there already. #fungifriends

A close-up, ground-level shot of a single pale brown, speckled Amanita mushroom cap pushing up through sandy soil and dry pine needles on a coastal forest path.

The decapitated Chicken Trying a creative outlet that doesn't leave me with useless artifacts, so I made chocolates (you eat what you made). White chocolate + orange jam. My kid hates orange filling. That's the sin the chicken got decapitated for, and why the rabbits lost ears. #chocolatier #diy

White chocolates in Easter shapes scattered on a light blue surface. The chocolates include decorated egg with a hole showing yellow orange jam filling, a chicken shape with head broken off and stuck back on, leaking orange blood, and rabbits with missing ears.

Swiss chard soup. It's a recreation of my dad's childhood memory of my grandma making beetroot greens soup in the spring. No idea what her recipe was, mine has a stand in for beets, some potatoes, and lazy people's dehydrated veggies. Topped with sour cream, egg and dill. #cooking #memories

A white bowl filled with a clear Swiss chard soup, placed on a black mat. The soup features green, leafy, pink-tinged chard leaves, a spoonful of sour cream, chopped hard-boiled egg, and a generous topping of fresh, finely chopped dill.

Behold the mighty harvest! I prefer growing vegetables in non-standard colors; stores are already full of red radishes, so I went for yellow. Black bell peppers and striped tomatoes coming soon. #vegetablegardening #harvest

Pink soup served properly. Hard boiled egg adds its sunny spring vibes, greens (any, really) are a splash of contrast and flavor. #cooking #pinksoup #coldsoup

The last portion of pink soup, first batch this year. Pink soups appear at the start of summer; as your body and soul detects the warmth, your hand picks up beetroot and kefir at the grocery store - it's an instinct, an ancient calling. #cooking #beetroot #soup

Let's talk tech! That's what I have in the greenhouse. Solar powered fan, a tell-tale thermometer that informs me of the highs and lows my babies suffered, and a device that measures soil temperature, acidity etc. Last one gets the least use. What's your setup? I may need it too #vegetablegardening

When it's still too cold for most things, you can grow lettuce. Florinred, Romaine, Lollo Rossa, Australische Gele. The pink ones got their first blush once I took them into real sunlight. Been happy in the greenhouse despite below freezing outside temps some nights. #vegetablegardening #gardening

Thirty or so Easter eggs dyed in natural colors. Deep onion-peel browns and maroons, turmeric yellows, and muted purple-grays from cabbage and beetroot, each with patterns from being wrapped with leaves, snowdrop flowers, cheesecloth, strings and what not before dyeing.

Did an inventory check. 2-3 seedlings for most of these varieties already up and growing. Dwarves will go into containers, the rest will battle for the best spots in the greenhouse and the raised beds. I love the planning stage of gardening so much! #gardening #vegetablegardening #tomatoes

14 different packs of tomato seeds on a wooden floor. Packs are arranged in a grid. You see cherry tomatoes and big ones. Many colors: yellow, orange, red, striped, black.
