As someone who cares for trauma patients, I love this either way my whole heart

Really pretty sunrise 🌅, with an actual touch of chill in the early morning air while paddling that reminds that fall will be here soon

A picture of a leafy forest floor with three different green plants poking up through old and dry brown leaf litter. The plants are onion grass, English ivy and lesser celandine. All three plants are aggressive invasive species in the mid-Atlantic region of the eastern USA

One of my pussy willows is thriving. So so fuzzy.

Plus three invasive plants in one tiny patch of yard. I’m going to see how the garden torch works on lesser celandine 🌱 #nativeplants #bloomscrolling
