Thank you for your kind words, dear @ladee . With the right background music much of life is like a cartoon, at times. ? Grateful to still be able to laugh at it, most days.

Today was rainy and sort of blah, so I decided to try the g/f vegan chocolate chip banana bread experiment again and this time I lucked out. ? I used the mini-loaf pans instead of the bigger loaf pan and ta-da! I won't have to drown it in non-dairy vanilla nice cream to hide my oopsies - but that don't mean I still won't. lol

The rain finally took a break so I ventured out to check on ripening progress of the soon-to-be tomato sandwich(es):

As the sun sunk behind the mountains, I noticed I had company across the way who didn't seem to be bothered by my presence as she worked her way closer to the apple tree. lol The lighting and the flash made this kodak moment even more entertaining:

This is a flower from our back yard. I don't know which kind it is.

We harvested some flowers and seeds the remnants of the hurricane are here now with wind and rain. All our plants are pulled back as much as possible but we might lose the sunflowers . So we picked them rather than see them blown over . If the plants make it well have some more.

@Mach123 was this meant for another thread?

Had a fire again the other night, Saturday I think. Love having a fire, love the smell too.

I love to set by a fire when it's cool or cold outside. I also love the smell. Feels like we belong to the earth. Something very primitive about sitting by a fire. Beautiful picture @Teasel.

Thanks for bailing me out!

Ahhhh - nice fire vibes, @Teasel . I did a full moon fire ceremony, of sorts, the other night, but only to write down things I wish to release and burn it.

You've inspired me to gather some kindling once it dries up enough to burn. Something about a contained purposely built fire that is so soothing and meditative. @ladee 's description pretty much nails it. Thanks for the reminder to make time to build one.

What a difference a day and a monsoon-like rain fall can make in what you see when you look down while exploring in the woods.

A bright red beauty caught my eye first, then I discovered many more that weren't there the day before:
