The strange cycle of freezes followed by unseasonably warm days has my current flower beds looking as bleak and depressing as the news feed. So I've dug up some Spring blooms because the dark days aren't forever.

Oldy but goodie. I've been working more indoors this week, but hopefully the coming days will give me a chance to get out there and spruce up the leaf mould and compost bins.

There's a stand of ancient ash trees that the evil ash borers haven't ruined. It's probably the most enchanted bit of country road in my county and it makes me wish it wasn't all private land and I could wander around it.

A local, privately owned cave opens every Halloween for Trick or Treaters and it's so much more fun than the trunk or treat nonsense that's en vogue.

Just like magic, autumn temperatures have arrived overnight. These will probably be the last blooms this year. #RoseWednesday

#FlowersonFriday. I adore Japanese anemones which is good, because they're hell bent on monopolizing the rose beds.

Screaming into the void is currently unavailable as the void has filled and the bin man doesn't come for another millennia. Tylenol doesn't cause autism, genes do. Fevers in early pregnancy can cause neural tube defects and potentially pregnancy loss. My autistic kid doesn't need cured.

A cool and misty morning is the perfect time for pondering and reflecting before facing down the day. Fear is the natural response to an existential threat, but I will not let it freeze me in place or silence me.

It's Rose Wednesday, but I'm playing the greatest hits because there's a deceased deer nearby stinking up the area and I'm not dealing with that mess.
