'I said to myself, dirt doesn't burn': The people rebuilding their homes with earth These people are rebuilding homes lost to wildfires in the western US – only this time they are using a material that they hope won't burn.

The future is the past. Good friends of mine are quoted in this article, who built an adobe house that survived the Bobcat fire. I'm hoping they can start teaching as LA begins to rebuild.

That sounds like Fred a bit but that's not me!

Fabulous string quartet recording with Strange Boutique for some new songs. Thank you to Zoe Kushubar and Gracie Carney, violins/Rachel Riese, viola/Erin Murphy Snedecor, cello.

Had a fabulous tomato crop this year, and with our first actual frost, I brought as much as I could of the rest. 🌱

Tortoise eating pumpkin

A couple days late, but hey, Gil can eat pumpkin all November, too! 🌱

Orbweaver spider

Ezmerelda has made a fabulous web, with multi-tiered levels.🌱

Western Toad

Outside last night with Penny in the main back yard, and came across one of these guys (not actual photo, it was too dark) hopping around! Another baby that escaped the raccoon attack living in the garden beds! Makes me feel so happy that these guys are out and about finding their way! 🌱

Lo and behold, a little tree frog is living in the veggy garden cage! No idea how he got there! Raccoons had eaten all my pond frogs, I can't fathom how he hopped the 100+ feet from there, but that's the only way! This garden is a mulch and damp paradise, he'll be able to over-Winter no problem. 🌱

There's some blue sky!
