Went to the Minnesota Arboretum today and saw these lovelies

The Morrigan, a scarecrow version at least. It's a burlap costume with bark covering the torso and a dress full of decaying leaves

The back side of a scarecrow with a long pinecone wig, and a dress made from ripped up plastic bags with lettering all over them

A shiny black owllet perched on a flannel arm. The owl has bright orange eyes and a high black collar

Yellow leaved trees with the sun peeking through

Giving the water of life to my beloved new cilantro, hours before I rip it to shreds and cram it down my mouth

A bunch of cilantro in a tall glass jar of water. The cilantro is leaning over but clearly looking better

Apparently I was wrong, but this is so much worse www.burkemuseum.org/collections-...

"Some spiders make small holes in the prey and vomit their digestive fluid INTO the prey's body, the end result being a hollow shell with some or most of the muscles and internal organs digested and sucked out"

A neighborhood cat who I've met before was crying out my window so I dried her off and now she's cuddling with me

A black and white cat, small, probably female, is sitting on my lap while I'm on the porch. There's a voter registration card also on my lap so don't forget to vote!

My indoor coleus is flowering! I think for only the second time in eight years. Sorry there aren't any bees for it

A leafy coleus next to a window with trees visible has a long stem of small purple flowers reaching towards the light

Pickled some veggies today in my new Kendall jars. Combined lemon juice, salt and vinegar with pickle pebbles to keep them submerged.

Four tall glass jars, tomato and onion, tomato onion and jalapeno, sliced radish and ginger, and sliced cucumber and ginger. They're standing behind a two toned cutting board and in front of silverware

How can one describe the flavor of this shape?

Is this a nice bush or a weed? It seems nice

Several bushes in front of my porch. One has flowers hanging down that are maybe a dark pink with yellow stamen

I got some great tamales and this awesome shirt

A black T-shirt with splattered bleach spots that form sort of a star galaxy pattern with a printed opossum. The possum has a fiery tail and is carrying two babies

I wonder if we can queer this submission up?

a submission for the Minnesota flag: a large black loon dominates with a red eye and a beak facing the right. there's a long 8 pointed star in the upper right corner over a field of grey? (i'm colorblind) and a field of blue below the beak. there's also a diamond necklace on the loon.

I'm going to miss my easy bicycle access ramp up to the house when it melts.

My hyacinths are blooming ? ? The Internet says they only bloom in spring, so does that mean I'm doing something right or something wrong?

I keep telling people ghosts are an appropriate Christmas decoration. These are the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future

Sewed a patch onto my jeans crotch with an old tie, then decided to decorate a few more parts with said tie

A pair of light blue jeans with a patch over the right crotch - the patch is a silk tie striped with shades of blue, black and white. Two other patches with the same tie under left front pocket and a strip along right lower leg

Haul from Northeast Art Attack (fall Art-a-Whirl). Much smaller attendance but same level of great art this past weekend. Most of them are hanging on my Christmas tree now :)

Various art pieces, a leather mustache, carnelian stone in a pendant, robot keychain, two funky unexplainable stickers, a pair of blue and yellow earrings, a painted wooden ornament, all on top of a woven towel

It's really beautiful and yes, I want a leather vest that says TAINT

A beautiful beaded leather vest made by a Lakota artist. White with colored geometric patterns that look like candelabras, triangles and wings. But one section looks like it says TAINT
