TBT this nice Punctelia lichen (maybe P. missouriensis?) I found in the northern Ozarks back in October. I really love the texture on this species.

Do not be afraid. No one can speak or do anything that is outside of God's plan.

Weekly Update: 11.7.24

Though our country is divided about so much, perhaps we can find commonality in our rootedness as creatures, in our dependence on creation. Though we differ in many abstract ideals, maybe we can find understanding around the concrete reality of the table.

Visited one of my favorite spots and even in the moon/star light, I could tell something was different. Before I charged into, or through, anything, I started taking pics.

Organizing for a Profitable 2024

Last year my best sales occurred at the farmer’s market and at nearby festivals. I plan to change that this year. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! Can you believe another year has passed and we are now in 2024?  I have often wondered why the year started at the beginning of winter rather than the beginning of spring. However, after thinking about it for a few weeks, I have decided that it makes a lot…

If you live in Missouri, PLEASE! i beg of you! Go vote.

You may think we are a very red state, so it does not matter. But it does.

But there is amendment 3!!!!!!!!

Go fucking vote and end this abortion ban.

Find your location to vote. If you have to, tell your work you need to vote on the way to work or take the day off, even if it means you will skip a few meals. Skip dinner with family if you have to.

Just do whatever you have to do! Just fucking vote!!!!! It's one time that can change a lot.

Here in Missouri, the ban is harsh ......you can not get one even for rape or incest!

VOTE YES ON AMENDMENT 3!

I rarely ask this, but please reblog this!

Two beautiful scenes, two very different oak habitats. The first is my childhood creek, rather unceremoniously named "Dutro-Carter Branch", in Rolla, Mo. It runs through mostly badly damaged to completely erased oak-hickory forest, with just a thin veil of habitat on either bank, where it exists at all. The other is Cooper Mountain in Tualitin, OR, where Garry oak savanna and woodland are being restored amid patches of Ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forest. I arrived back in the PNW last Thursday evening after five days of driving and immediately leaped back into teaching the next day. While I've scarcely had time to stop and rest, and the next several days will be similarly busy, I'm glad I get to ground myself in these beautiful, fragmented places in nature.

Lion's Mane Mushroom

Hericium erinaceus

A wonderful surprise awaited us while on a hike. Lion's Mane has a very mild flavor and contains bioactive compounds that have been proven to improve brain health. Remember to always forage respectfully and sustainably.

Looks like a blanket of snow in Ozark this morning. This recent snowfall is pretty picturesque, almost like a winter wonderland.
