    Not quite burning

    Some more horticulture – Burning Bush is an invasive and banned species in MA! Turns out they spread fast and choke out the native plants. To their credit, they look great in Fall.

    Headshots

    Never ending humor from Imara – all four feet on her own head. Somehow! And well, Halloween-ish humor from this thing.

  • Volunteer Barberry

    Volunteer Barberry

    This is a super cool – especially in Autumn, shrub that volunteered in a quiet spot several years ago. It always looks interesting, so despite its abundant thorns, I let it go. Fall is it’s prime, with the berries and foliage. Cool stuff. Unfortunately it is among the more frowned upon shrubs one can have…

    Up, up and away!

    Air Willy taking flight again.

    Some enjoy making a spectacle of skeletons for Halloween. The dog isn’t one of them.

    On Your Mailbox

    Camp Morning

    Lots of smoke around the camp sites in the morning – from smoldering fires overnight to morning fires for breakfast. But quite clear over the water. Beautiful weather made it hard to leave. Spiders and poisonous caterpillars (not pictured, no thanks!) on the tents however, made it much easier.

  • Into The Woods

    Into The Woods

    We camped! It was a nice place. Marshmallows were had and had a Sasquatch sighting

  • Wait, What?

    Wait, What?

    Yup, Willy picked up a viola this year for school orchestra. And I guess it immediately cultured him, as he was spotted reading a BOOK later that day. (We must have lost power or something. )

  • Air Fried Fingerlings

    Air Fried Fingerlings

    Toss with oil, salt, pepper, and air fry. Crazy fast and great.

  • No Thank You

    No Thank You

    What a feeling to look up at a tree down the road which you walk past 2-3 times a day, and you see THIS. It was huge, and very very busy. And, of course, the inhabitants were big and demonic looking. Later that same day, different creepy sight at the soccer field. Don’t see it?…
