I realized I do not put up enough of my nature photos despite my phone being filled to the brink with them! Here is some snapshots of all of my dear friends around here! (Plants are my friends except Himalayan blackberry who is lovely but DOES NOT BELONG HERE AND GIVES ME SO MANY SCRATCHES)

PEEK-A-BAT ✨🦇✨ An icon for the Pacific Northwest, nestled in sword fern and watched over by a trinity of Oregon swallowtails.

Bats go through a stage in utero where they cover their wee eyes with their winglets, and there’s a very scientific term for this: PEEKABOO!

I made a few stickers. :)

September 2022: Friday Sights, Deliveries & Finds

Today’s backyard garden harvest: 

The Santa Claus melon plant is on the make: 

September is our wedding anniversary month so I bought the anniversary equivalents of stocking stuffers & they just arrived today.

Mosquito repellent for those long night-time conversations on the patio don’t get interrupted: 

His & hers gardening machetes. The kukri design is my queen’s. Style-wise, the kukri is my queen’s favorite melee weapon/tool: 

Curbside find while dog walking - two Sword (aka Boston) ferns that just need a little attention. Seriously, I worked a part-time job in high school at a local greenhouse garden center & they had a high tunnel full of “dead brown” ferns that we would trim all the dead growth off of & start nursing back to life in the very early Spring. They looked like tiny brown nubs but, by the time it was fern selling season, those ferns were just as full as the ones that had been ordered in. These two are probably so root bound that I could divide each of them into quarters:

I uhh went to a garden centre and found more ferns for my Fern phase 😭
