I can understand why we have no visitors – the weather is terrible.
Got some peat for our garden. Buying peat for a garden is very destructive for the environment and peat wetlands are disappearing at a horrific rate. But this was left after someone dredged their fish ponds and dumped it near our village store . At first I thought there was a lot of white plastic in it, but on closer inspection it turned out to be shells of swan mussels, Anodonta cygnea, a sign that the ponds were free of toxic substances.
Masza cosplaying a beaver. She still needs some work on her tail.
Thou shall not pass!
Something delicious is growing near our house. The good news is that this chicken-of-the-woods (Laetiporus sulphureus ) is attacking a black cherry tree (Prunus serotina), which is invasive in our area. Should we eat it (they're only good when they're young) or let it do its destructive work for a better world?
There's a small village under this huge cloud. They've survived worse things :)
