Here are a few favorite plantsy happenings this month.

I feel a little decayed this fall and winter. Not in the sense that I’m going bad. More like I’m ready for de-composing. Shapeshifting.

Here are some quick notes on the weather, what I’m reading, and a few seasonal snaps while “Wintering.”

Quick notes and photos on the porch pot refresh (and my mini-musing on how tying up loose ends invites you across a threshold to new beginnings).

Trying to get back in the habit of at least one good, long walk (45 min.) every day. The dramatic color in the trees and the sky has been a pretty compelling reason to get out and put those steps in.

Here’s a quick look at some of the garden projects and seasonal delights I indulged in this past week with my solo and family time.
