Chatfield Hollow state park 💚💙💚🩵

Yellow spotted salamander 😍💛 so cute!

Ghost Pipes!

We've got Monarch Butterfly Caterpillars on our Milkw**d! I'm so excited! I've never had them before. Also, look how freaking tall this milk w**d is in the last slide. I'm 5'1" for reference...

Happy Summer Solstice! Took a beautiful walk around Chatfield Hollow before it got too hot.

Yards looking witchy... I love a chaotic garden.

Happy Mamas Day 🩷 Love you more than words could ever say.

It's beautiful out here...

It was too beautiful a day to pass up a visit to the shore.

Caught with his paw in the cookie jar...

Happy anniversary to my Mama and Pops. Look how beautiful they are! And they still are 🩷 Love them so so so much!

Ramps! Pretty cool to find some on my walk this morning. After I saw this patch and realized what I was looking at, I saw them all over! I didn't tak any. Its just nice to know they're there and thriving.

I'm so excited, I've never grown asparagus before but I threw some in last summer, cause why not? They're poping up up now and they're so cute! I wont harvest them this year. They really need a few years to establish, but I'm glad they survived! It cracks me up that they just pop up looking like this lol

The temptation to clean up the gardens is STRONG. while its 65 degrees today, it could still snow next week 🤷‍♀️ so I need to wait a bit longer.

How beautiful is this hellebore I picked up from the CT flower and garden show!? I'm not sure where Im putting it yet. I love hellebore they are some of my favorite flowers and they do really well where we are. They are popping all over my yard 😊

Happy Birthday to this handsome man . Ya get more and more handsom every year 🩷

My feet were soggy but it was a great winter hike. Thanks for picking a spot. It was totally an "easy" trail.

New bird at our bird feeder 🤣

Happy New Year Everyone ❤️

Happy Winter Solstice. Tomorrow will be just a little bit brighter.

One of my best friends () gave me this ornament last year as a house warming present. Its filled with milkw**d seeds. Im happy to break her open this year and let em loose. Hopefully they'll germinate and give me beautiful smelling monarch food next year.

Warm(ish) Halloween afternoon. There will probably not be any trick or treaters coming to our door this year. Its a little too dark and a little too quiet out here.

If you want some really cute/spooky accessories you should definitely go see in New Haven today ! Shes gonna have some awesome stuff along with a bunch of other amazing artists. Go support some local makers!

It was a rainy summer which means a not so impressive fall foliage year but theres still a bit of color. Also, I saved this lil guy from getting squished on the road.

Look at this little itty bitty ring neck snake sunning himself in my drive way 😍🖤💚🖤

Happy 12 years married and much much longer together. I love this man with all of my heart.

Turns out I was a much better city farmer... also. There are a ridiculous amount of slugs out here. This is the total carrot crop. And Sowed seeds twice.

I've never seen red ghost pipes before! So cool!

A marvelously spooky walk this morning.
