I saw this little guy on my desk (top) and while I watched, he jumped up on the cable to watch me back! I think I've been adopted by a jumping spider 😄

Spent years tending a monoculture lawn. Then I let my yard rewild. The hardest part? Learning that true tending meant getting out of the way. No one tends a wild meadow, yet it thrives in its own perfect order. Sometimes not intervening is the highest form of care. #vss365 #Rewild

No one steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. Even the kayaks change 😉

Not a single voice, but a choir. The zinnia is a celebration of diversity. Dozens of tiny yellow flowers blooming together on a pink stage, pooling their talents to feed the bees. 🐝

Thank you, Niji! Here's another angle. You can see that the flowers grow high above the traps to keep their pollinators safe.

My wife called me from the nursery and said, "They have a plant called Pooh Bear." I said, "Do they have any trees called Godzilla?" She said, "No." "Oh. Do they have any plants called Bigfoot?" She said, "No. They don't" It was quiet for a few moments. "Get the Pooh Bear plant!"

I'm so sorry. It's always the worst feeling. I asked a friend to capture the dogs I've adopted over the years in this painting. They're all gone now, but this reminder always makes me smile. She captured their personalities perfectly.
