Both plants were labeled Blanket Flower. It is a native plant to my area. I bought one from a local, native only nursery and one from a big box store. Can you guess which is which?

Two Blanket Flower plants. The one from Lowes is short, and compact. The one from a local nursery is taller and looks like a wildflower.

Chalk #art on the street in Salida, #Colorado. The theme was "Down by the river". I love the vibe in this sweet little town surrounded by mountains and the Arkansas river.

The curled tail of happiness. I hope your day is a curly tailed one too. Pro tip: try calling your Representative or making a donation to help with the resistance. Guaranteed to make your day a little more curly! #AbolishIce #resist #cats #colorado #Cosmo

A tuxedo cat in a bowl that he's a little too big for. His tail is curled around in a nice spiral.

Whenever I have a minute or two, I'm playing at my art table. This is today's 5 minute collage. #collage #habits #self-care #art

The background of the collage is a green and black Geli of flowers. In the foreground is a sticker with a large iris type flower, a bee, and a water lily. There are also stamped water lilies across the bottom in the colors of blue and pink.

Last year I bought a kit to make this ornament. This year I made it again by using the first one as my model. The kit came with the hat so I just felted one for this guy. #ArtAdventCalendar #needlefelting #fiberarts

Took advantage of our long, lovely autumn by enjoying a walk around Sloan's lake yesterday. It was good to forget about our government for a while. #Denver #nature #colorado #photography

The city of Denver on the horizon and a lake in the foreground. The photo is taken in front of some tall grass.

Mountains on the horizon. And a lake with fall colored trees around the shoreline.

The sidewalk on the left with a railing, and the lake on the right lined with trees and fall colors.

If you read 50 days this summer, you get to put your name on the Reader's Wall of Fame at the library. You can put it wherever you choose. I love that one child chose to put her name to the far left of everyone else. Antisocial or nonconformist? #YouthServices #Library #Kids #Funny #Books

A walk with a banner that reads, READER'S WALL OF FAME. Under the banner are 3x5 pieces of paper that children have decorated with stickers, markers, and their name. All of the papers are clustered together under and around the banner except for one that is way over on the left side of the wall.

This was growing next to my raised garden beds. So tiny but fancy! #macromonday

A tiny mushroom. Google says it is a Hare's foot Inkcap. Looks like a white stamen with curlicues on top and a black skirt on the bottom. Tiny but fancy.

I was in Ireland this time last year. I loved it! And I can't wait to go back. I worry, as an American, I won't ever be welcomed anywhere in the world again. #ireland #notmypresident #travel

Peeking through bushes and trees you see a green field in the background.

A green countryside divided into separate fields by hedgerows.

A small green peninsula judging out into the sea. And the foreground yellow flowers cover the low growing bushes. This was on a hike near the town of Howth.

St. Patrick's Day at the library. Preschoolers make sunshine (yellow paint) and sky (blue paint) dance together on a shamrock which magically turns green. #supportlibraries #library #libraries #preschool #storytime

A young child dips a paintbrush into a shallow dish of paint. On the table next to her you can see a paper with green and yellow and blue. In the background are other parents and young children.

Watercolor paper cut into the shape of a shamrock. The shamrock has shades of green swirled about on it from mixing yellow and blue paint.

This week at the library, I taught kids about the artist, Alma Thomas. Then we painted like Alma. Homeschooled kids made new friends, a little boy imagined himself as an artist, some kids were inspired to come up with their own style of art. #LibrariesMatter #Libraries #LibraryPrograms
