1. Spending the morning reading in our local botanic garden 🪴
2. Giving a new favorite book to a former student/now friend 📖💛
3. Having fun writing haiku for #haikuhive @dabbe #haikuaday 🐝💛
4. Finding that my friend had the author sign a book to me before giving it to me 😊
5. Watching our backyard bloom. 🌸🌹🌺
pickI‘m inspired to grow a lot more flowers in the veggie garden. We try to go as organic as possible, and bringing nature into the yard really helps with all the pests out there
We have organic vegetables in our front and back yard….maybe it‘s time to see what flowers each might enjoy the company of.

We've had glorious weather here all week, so lots of joy
1) Blue skies and 🌞
2) Birdsong 🐦🐦⬛
3) Planning and working on my garden. 👩🌾
4) Late night fire side chats with my teens. ❤️
5) This made me guffaw, as I have this skillset. She's gonna take out Wales when that corset pings off!!
#Adventathon @bookmarktavern Reading this book for #Naturalitsy, so grateful it was picked because it's an absolute delight.This bit made me laugh out loud at the strange ways we anthropomorphise other living things that are utterly indifferent to us.

This is such a beautiful book. Mabey is a prosaic nature writer who extols the complexities of the botanical world and its impact on our art, history, literature, medicine, and science.
My favourite chapters were The Cult of Celebrity, Growing Together and particularly Chiaroscoro.

pickThis month's #Naturalitsy pick led me on a journey through the world of plants and how humans have interacted with these fascinating creatures throughout history. It fell short of what I was expecting but it was a pleasant and interesting read nonetheless, and the author is simply a wonderful writer.

I finished the last 40-ish pages this morning but I‘m counting it for November. Read with #Naturalitsy I really enjoyed this blend of history & science. I possess a very brown thumb but find plants fascinating & love to both look & read about them. The short Chapter 25: A Sarawakan Stinkbomb: The Titan Arum was a particular favorite as I‘m a fan of “the corpse flower” & enjoyed his focus on the bawdier side of it.
