Some of the creatures I have so far encountered today on Earth: common buckeye (while on a dog walk) , black swallowtail caterpillar on my soon-to-bloom dill, another buckeye (tattered but hanging in there on the coreopsis), green cone-headed planthopper, wavy lined emerald caterpillar atop the black-eyed susan (no wonder they are also called camouflaged loopers!), and a carolina mantis

Every day is a god, each day is a god, and holiness holds forth in time. I worship each god, I praise each day splintered down, splintered down and wrapped in time like a husk, a husk of many colors spreading, at dawn fast over the mountains split.

Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash (Italian: Dinamismo di un cane al guinzaglio), sometimes called Dog on a Leash or Leash in Motion, is a 1912 oil painting by Italian Futurist painter Giacomo Balla. It was influenced by the artist's fascination with chronophotographic studies of animals in motion. It is considered one of his best-known works, and one of the most important works in Futurism, though it received mixed critical reviews.The painting has been in the collection of the Albright–Knox Art Gallery since 1984.

It’s silly when people try to insist landscapes and gardens are separate from politics and culture when their history in the United States is rooted in something like this

I am trying to get more photos & footage of what I’ve been gardening this year… I want to think of the garden (& maybe the outdoors in general) as a classroom. I learned of the ligated furrow bee’s existence today on Earth, with the help of black-eyed susans.

Moving the bird food out of the rain at The Seedery, just a few minutes ago, I thought of how the cardinals may be back around sunset if the storm is done by then because they are one of those songbirds who (like the white-throated sparrows) often stay up a little late to forage & feed. When I looked out my bedroom window only a few minutes later, of course there was Lady C sampling the seed cylinder :—)
