I almost attended a mushroom music concert but alas it was not to be Now that's a provocative statement. :) A mushroom concert....? Instead of ear plugs, you'd need hearing aids....? Or you just need PlantWave

Five minutes... OF COURSE I had to go back in an edit the next day. It's what I do...

NOTE: My grandpa's first tractor got sold at the auction, but not my husband's painting of Gpa on Tractor!! (A friend had misread that.) I would not sell original artwork especially of a subject so near

Great to see you too, @litguru, thanks! And I agree: most of us lack that knack for communing with nature. Sounds like you may have read the opening pages of that book...? It's wild to think some people

Your bunny rescue - the little fellow is still here! You must be taking really good care of him, given how low the survival rate is for baby bunnies. Thanks to your dog's wicked kill-kill-kill instinct,

I have not read it - but I will! Set in Stratford, England, in the late 16th century, Hamnet imagines the emotional, domestic, and artistic repercussions after the world's most famous (though never named)

For the first time in forever, I've tackled a 5-minute freewrite. How many months has it been...? #ThankYou @freewritehouse for being there all year round, Day #2,212!

Dogs. (And cats, serial killers of songbirds.) And cute baby bunnies. My neighbor SHOOTS rabbits to protect the garden. My own garden was decimated in 2023, by rabbits, mostly, possibly woodchucks too.

I love this - every bit of it! Laughing at your depiction of yourself as a little old lady in a hillbilly town. You are SO MUCH MORE than that, and come to find out, the town is more, too! How ambitious

I love it too!! Reminds me of a book I've slowly been reading, Evolutionary Herbalism: Science, Spirituality, and Medicine from the Heart of Nature by Sajah Popham and Matthew Wood | Apr 30, 2019 Sajah

Oh I feel for you @silvertop, your grandma with dementia from age ~80 to 101. That is a LONG TIME to have memory impairment, etc. My dad lingered with it until age 89, and Mom (at 86) took care of him

How beautiful - almost 99 - I shared on Facebook: On Thanksgiving day - with the aroma of turkey - surrounded by family. (Your mom wasn't there - sorry for that) This is a keeper of a post. I love it.

Vandalism, smashed glass, trashed books, dangling wires - this place has so much potential, and it was so recently occupied (2017 was only yesterday right?) - how sad! My own school, a brick 3-story that

If you're not of German descent, and not maudlin like me, and not there in the flesh, no, you wouldn't be moved to tears. :) The Clydesdales get me because my dad had draft horses before he had tractors.

How many would be moved to tears by this. (The accordions!)

Why would the joy and simplicity and sweetness of the May Pole dance move me to tears - that is a loaded question, and it would take a 250-word essay or more to even start. Draft horses (Percherons,

Surrounded by them. Me too. They "know" so much more than those who listen to multiple news sources. So many: Who wants to live in a panopticon where all you can see is what you have been told

Wow!!!!!! You walk by this ....? What a bright sight!
