22-degree halo around the moon in advance of the snowstorm, first of the season here in Maine… 🌨️😇 🔭 🌓

Thanks, John. Good to hear from you, and welcome to the club, I’m sure you still have my Gmail address!

Fiberglass?

Thanksgiving cactus says, Have a gorgeous holiday! 🌱

2.5 pies from scratch! Whipping the cream as we speak! 🌱🥧👨‍🍳

Dried hydrangea catching dawn light this morning… 🌱

I had a fellow come to my house, unsettling. This is back in the day. He ended up in tears

Wait till Grok is a teenager!

Oh, an olive would be perfect! Might not like Maine, tho

It’s enormous! But I have tomatoes in raised beds in better sun out back, also a sweet herb garden. I like the idea of honoring the Italianness of it, tho! 🌱🇮🇹

The flowers of November in Maine, or, climate change is real… 🌱

Now we’re talking! (Though out back I have a herb garden in all-day sun!)

O, roses! What a lovely idea!

We can go to minus 30 Celsius, but rarely. I’m not too worried about this beautiful thick clay, but keeping it empty…

I love a potted cedar! 🌱

My strategy was to take the soil out, though the artisans say it’s freeze proof even with soil. It weighs too much to bag!

That’s amazing!

I keep going out to look at it!

They say it’s good to minus 22!

A bit too cold for pansies here in Maine! But I like the idea! I’ll start in March maybe

I love tulips in a container! I’m a little nervous about keeping soil in the pot all winter, though it’s a tough one. It just gets pretty cold here in Maine… 🌱

The artisans say these are freeze proof, even filled with dirt. But I’m in Maine, so I emptied it. I’ll leave it out, though. It’s too big to get inside!

Found at a junk shop: this enormous handmade Tuscan pot complete with with potter’s stamp and village: Impruneta! Proudly displayed out front and ready for spring planting. What would you put in it? Fall leaves for scale 🌱🏺

The sky at 4:17, sweet November in Maine…

Sweet evening at Cove Street Gallery, Portland, Maine, Marjorie Moore and I taking Critters in Art and Literature at Nancy Davidson’s Critter Show. We both speak monkey! We both speak play. #Booksky, #Artsky, 🐒

Red oak rocking November in Maine. Many of these leaves will hang on into spring, brown and clattering, forever challenging the idea of peak color! 🌱🍁🍂

Maine, too! All directions

Ohhhhhh!

Joining the crowd! Northern lights, southern Maine… 🔭📷
