It’s like when your mom gets you a coat two sizes too big because “you’ll grow will grow into it.”

…in rumpy bunches,
saffron and orange and pale gold,
in little towers,
soft as mash,
sneeze-bringers and seed-bearers,
full of bees sand yellow beads and perfect flowerlets…Marry Oliver

A European wood snail takes a measure of native big blue stem. These snails have become prevalent in our landscape. They are widespread and are in ascendancy. They also occupy a space on thrush, grouse and turkey menus. Escargo is easy eating, I guess.

A sacrilegious sound.
A Carolina Wren chose a litter filled garbage can as the site for her nest. She selected the wire from this tag to incorporate into her nest. We appreciate the endorsement.

Though not ostentatious, native common milkweed supports a diverse community. Natives support DEI.

It sends a deep taproot (delicious, boiled),
is relished by all livestock, lends its leaves
to salads and cooked greens, but will not thrive
in cultivated soil: it must be free.—John Updike
Show me a piece of land that God forgot—
a strip between an unused sidewalk, say,
and a bulldozed lot, rich in broken glass—
and there, July on, will be chicory,
its leggy hollow stems staggering skyward,
its leaves rough-hairy and lanceolate,
like pointed shoes too cheap for elves to wear,
Time for breakfast. Isn’t it?

The sky has a corduroy look to it this morning. These cloud formations will appear in the early stages of destabilizing flows when surface temperatures are relatively cool.
