What gets you through when you're feeling down with the current state of events? I like to do things with my hands like painting, or fiber work to get my mind off things for a little bit 😌

• Stop eating octopus products and be a voice for those who can't speak for themselves

How can you help octopuses:
• Pick up trash when you see it so it doesn't end up in our waterways
• Don't use chemicals on your lawn - these end up getting washed away with rain, down drains and into our lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans

They're incredibly intelligent and deserve a home free from waste. They also deserve better than ending up on our plates.

They use crevices in rocks and discarded items (human waste that makes it into the ocean) as homes. I once saw where an octopus had laid its eggs in a toilet and sealed the opening with itself to keep the babies safe!

We have a few favorite foods in common: crabs, lobsters, and shrimp 🦐

They use their jaws, which function like a bird's beak, to bite their prey *cough* I mean lunch.

Octopuses come in all sizes, including the dwarf octopus with arms about 2 inches long, or the Pacific giant octopus (like you see in an aquarium) with arms about 30 feet long on record!

Octopuses swim by forcing water out of their mantle cavity (at the back of their heads) through the siphon. They can move the siphon around so they can move in more directions. ✨ Jet propulsion ✨

Today is World Octopus Day! 🐙

Octopuses are predator cephalopods, ("head-footed") agile swimmers, and have complex nervous systems.

Hydrangea leaves in different stages of autumnal change. Freckled with a welcome rain these colourful leaves show natures acceptance of individual change.

Don't forget to give it a little love to your backyard birds today! If you have the means, put out sugar water for hummingbirds, seeds for the others, and give them access to water. It makes a big difference, especially during mating season! More resources = more bird babies = more pollinators! 🐥
