That one morning I got more raspberries than I could eat. I had 8 raspberry bushes in a hedge along my driveway that kept me busy all summer long. Needless to say much of them went into jams and pies. #gardening#fruitsfriday#pdx#harvest#urbanfarming
So today me and my wubby went out to the yard and picked a whole bunch of dandelion heads so we can dehydrate them and have snacks for our darling little Mozart. #dandelion#harvest#homestead

With the season coming to a close, them trimmigrants can't be choosey about where they're gonna hibernate for the winter ❄️
Seen along the way to the #Mad_River Bar - a town, if you will, with 3 buildings in it; a bar, a post office the size of a closet, and a butcher shop. There's also the "Mad River Burger Bar", a locally famous trailer on jack stands that sells takeout burgers 🍔 & fries 🍟
May the artwork take both you and the person to whom you send the card to a place of simplicity and joy, where life does not have to be convoluted and fearful, but normal and healthy and . . . good.
First beet #harvest of the year. I got to watch it, because when I don’t harvest them in time, they first get stuck and grow into my growing baskets, and then burst them. But otherwise beets grow really well in my backyard #hydroponics system.
This batch gets pickled, and works really well with things such as hummus.
#ClimateDiary UK’s Nationwide Won’t Lend to Some Homes Over Flood Risk
“The UK’s second biggest mortgage provider has stopped making loans on some homes at risk of flooding, over fears they may become uninsurable — and therefore, unsellable — over the coming years.”
#ClimateCrisis percolating through everything so much already in the UK, like everywhere else - #Harvest, #Insurance and now also #Mortgages. Surely this will become really significant.
Two Bartlett pears still life, watercolor. Light and shadow plays along the luscious curves of two voluptuous pears nestled close to one another in this painting.
"The drought, the shortage of seeds and the desert locust invasion which started in late 2023 and persisted to the first weeks of 2024, has halved the #harvest.
The drop in production of crops has caused food prices to surge to a five-year-high. Many farmers have also lost their main source of income due to these successive and compounded shocks."
White wine grapes on the vine, watercolor. I was inspired to paint this image after visiting the lake district of Italy. It was fall and grapevines were heavy with fruit everywhere we went.
