Part 2: Early Summer Wildflower Palooza, Cranberry Glades. During the first week of July, as the orchids are peaking in the bogs and seeps, the first wave of summer wildflowers, including the milkweeds and beebalms, arrives in earnest, bringing a blaze of color to open meadows and bog and forest margins. In the old growth woods of the adjacent Cranberry Wilderness, an array of strange and beautiful fungi sprout from moss-covered logs and the forest floor.

From top: tall meadow rue (Thalictrum pubescens), also known as king of the meadow, a wetlands-loving perennial whose distinctive, cream-colored flowers are composed of thread-like stamens only; meadow phlox (Phlox maculata), also known as wild sweet William and spotted phlox, easily distinguished from other phlox species by its red-spotted stems; mountain wood sorrel (Oxalis montana); a ramp (Allium tricoccum) flower, which emerges in early summer on a leafless stalk, after the foliage has died back; a shiny hemlock varnish shelf (Ganoderma tsugae) assailed by pleasing fungus beetles (Megalodacne), rarely seen because they hide under leaf litter during the day and feed on Ganoderma fungi at night; a lovely colony of crown-tipped corals (Artomyces pyxidatus); the beguiling fringed loosestrife (Lysimachia ciliata), an aggressively-colonizing perennial that makes for a shady ground cover in native wildflower gardens; and that blazingly-beautiful mint, scarlet beebalm (Monarda didyma), whose storied history as a medicinal herb stems from its antiseptic and stimulant properties.

Weekly Tag Wednesday Thursday

Thank you @darlingian for creating this week’s game. Thanks for the tag @michellemisfit ! seems like fun.

Which character from any media would you like to have as a father?

Sean Maguire from Good Will Hunting (i.e., Robin Williams's character). Maybe not a very exciting or fun answer, and there's probably a lot of reasons to not pick him, but he just seems to be an extraordinarily good man who wants to help people get to a better place in their own lives, who is trying his hardest to get through the day to day, made some mistakes, loved his wife very much, and can make people who are really going through it still manage to laugh and see the world in a new perspective.

If money, laws, time, and effort were no object, what animal would you want to have?

Dragon is a hell of a good answer @michellemisfit, but if money and time and help were no object but I think I'd be intimidated by that (also I wouldn't know what to feed it!) I think I'd want either a highland cow (because once I got to pet one and it licked me and followed me around and I loved him) or a horse, because I think they're neat.

What is your Chinese takeout order?

General Tso's Chicken, crab rangoon if they have it, steamed spring rolls.

What's your favorite emoji?

👍. it's versatile. I often use it like this: 👍👍.

Would you rather have a library, greenhouse, or home theater in your house?

I was going to say library, but honestly? I might pick a greenhouse. A place that's filled with plants that I can go listen to music to even in wintertime and be warm and surrounded by nature? I think I'm going to have to pick the greenhouse.

What childhood tv show do you think of the most fondly?

Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Power Puff Girls, and the old Pokemon tv show with Brock, Misty, and Ash.

What was your tumblr like when you first joined?

I had a shared computer with the entire house as a kid, so I did not have a tumblr then. I only saw it occasionally because I was a nerdfighter and saw fishingboatproceeds (and heard about the drama of that later). It wasn't until a couple years ago that I got a tumblr, so, not all that different to now. My tumblr was a pitiful attempt at being a writing blog, but I got more interested in fandom pursuits instead. Some things have stayed the same, though, like having an obscure icon lol.

What clothing style do you love but don't feel compelled to replicate yourself?

Dark feminine academia. Black ribbons in the hair, the plaid pleated skirts with the ripped nylons or the smoke color pleated pants, the black mary janes, the cranberry or bourbon or navy colored sweaters with the collared shirt poking out underneath, the neat dark nail polish, the dark lipped makeup. I always think it looks really cool, but a) a ribbon is going to just become a mess in my hair, b) that particular brand of feminine style and color palette rarely looks good on me, and c) seems like a lot of freaking effort that I'm not willing to put in.

If you were plopped into a fictional world, which one would you know the layout of the best?

I know the Legend of Zelda: BOTW map pretty well. The Glade in the Maze Runner is pretty simple so I think I'd know it pretty well, but I do not want to be there lmao.

What is your favorite piece of art?

This is a really hard question, um. I do love art, my brain provides things like Claude Monet or seaside paintings, but I'm going to be honest, I'm always more enchanted by the architecture of things and places -- I love to do "urban hiking". One of the most amazing places I ever got to explore was Radio City Music Hall in New York City. I learned a lot about why they designed the interior areas the way they did, and it was just such an amazing experience.

Do you have a water bottle? what does it look like?

Yes! I have a yellow one with a bunch of stickers of places I've been.

What fanfic trope is a quiet fave?

It's not even quiet for me -- character A is injured and character B patches them up. I love it.

Do you carry a daily bag? what does it look like? what's the weirdest thing in it?

I've got two. A burgundy faux-leather-looking bag for when I need to carry a bunch of stuff and look professional, such as files, a water bottle, my laptop, and other personal belongings. Otherwise I have an old thrifted purse made of green corduroy and a button with an engraved hummingbird on it that perfectly fits my laptop and my journal and one book. Attached to it is a small pouch I was given by a friend that I put my headphones case into.

If you had to ship Mickey with another Gallagher, who would it be?

I'm a fan of enemies to lovers, lol, so I would probably explore a Mickey/Lip dynamic. Also the amount of sarcasm and actually the frightening capabilities the two would have together would be fascinating.

What is a fanfic trope you didn't expect to like and then very much did?

I actually love post-sex scenes, particularly like aftercare scenes. I was not expecting that.

Do you think s11 Mickey can still carry s11 Ian?

Yup. I kind of think Mickey would make a show of it every time Ian feels weird about his own body, he would pick him up and show Ian he's still his lumbering ginger boy.

Who got custody of the killing bat when they sold the house?

@lingy910y's Mickey and Carl fighting over the bat is GOLD, but I also see Ian quietly grabbing the baseball bat and handing it to Debbie while they're arguing for actual purposes of "I want you to have this and stay safe wherever you are."

I am pretty sure everyone I am familiar with in the fandom has already been tagged, but just in case, I'll add @callivich ! if you've already been tagged my apologies -- and if you haven't been tagged, then by all means, see this as an open tag and go right ahead. <3

'Family Business'

Mirelurk Queen, King and Hardshell variants together in the Cranberry Glade. No filters; just brightness/contrast adjustments. I really like how the lighting turned out on this one.

🦔🕯✨ Brandywine Cottage smells of wild forest cranberries, sugared chestnuts, and secret glades filled with blackberries. ☕️ Who would you like to sit on this swing chair with, and talk, or sit quietly enjoying each other’s company? Anyone from any time, that you’ve met, would like to meet, have met in a book. There’s lots of people I would like to have a moment with. Right now, I’d like to sit with Robin Wall Kimmerer, the author of Braiding Sweetgrass. Join us in October in the FB group Earth Berry Apothecary to discuss this book virtually, sort of book club style. For now, read the book and check out this delectable candle.

Haven Box Christmas School: Christmas Trees

Our regularly mailed Haven Box is on holiday break, but this year they sent us a really well produced Wonder Guide for “Christmas School.” It has all the usual elements of our weekly program, they just didn’t send us any physical items like books and craft supplies. Last year’s holiday guide wasn’t as robust, so we didn’t do it. But this year it seemed like fun! They provided five different themed weeks, which you could do in any order you like. Christmas Trees seemed like an obvious place to start!

Poetry & Story

Instead of mailing us a book, they provided a suggested list of books to find on your own. Most of the suggested ones had already been snagged at the library, but I got several different books about Christmas trees. Favorites included The Great Spruce (which explains the old tradition of digging up and replanting the giant trees for Rockefeller Center), and Little Bunny’s Christmas Tree (because the bunnies were so cute - Jamie said it was “quite charming.”)

Nature & Science

Our Wonder Guide explained the history of the Christmas tree tradition and provided a lovely visual guide to identifying different trees. Our tree is fake and well loved (ie old), so we wandered to the Christmas tree lot in the neighborhood to check out their fresh trees.

I think they smelled every tree in the lot. Jamie learned how to differentiate between Fraser Fir and Noble Fir trees, while Kira desperately tried to convince us one needed to come home with us.

Forest to Table

We used the recipe for Traditional Wassail as a kid friendly hot drink during a dinner with friends. The kids all loved it.

Art & Handwork

Kira made cranberry garlands for the tree and mantle We tried them last year and I love them so much. I’m grateful she did them again!

We also made ornaments. I got a kit for each kiddo based on their interest/craft preferences. Jamie’s was a beading craft that made four cute snowmen.

Kira’s had four different designs of wood cuts that she painted and glued together.

I love having homemade ornaments on the tree. It’s fun to remember which ones the kids made each year and see how far their skills have progressed.

For art appreciation we studied Glade Jul, which shows a lovely holiday scene. I heard audible gasps of “ooh!” when I first displayed this one, and they really liked it.

For music appreciation we listened to O Tannenbaum, which Daddy declared a zero on the “oonsty” scale (too slow and boring.). He then found a techno remix of the song, and he and Kira proceeded to have a dance party to it in the kitchen.

Nature Play

We squeezed in one last Creek Day for the year before our friends leave town for a few weeks. Gorgeous weather and lots of good play time (none of it holiday themed.)

Field Trips

There’s no Nature Notebooking or Mystery Maker classes with these lessons, but we encorporated some holiday field trips that correspond with the theme. Christmas trees are everywhere, so this week wasn’t difficult. Kira and I watched the giant tree grow during a Colorado Ballet performance of The Nutcracker, and we saw a gigantic lit up tree at the Elitch Gardens Luminova event.

Rock and Roll needs to come back and slap down these fucking solo artists. Soul and R&B are not as cool as they were in the sixties. Now and days it’s another untalented jerkoff that wants to auto tune his way into the spotlight. Don’t get me wrong I love Rihanna. She’s a bad bitch worthy of respect. Remember when Chris Brown tried to step up and she beat the fu k out of him…but the rest of them need to quit it.

Fuck! I sure miss Tom Petty and Eddie Van Halen so much. Scott Weiland, tragic. Kurt Cobain, every time I think of him the sadness hits my heart and murder that psychotic cunt Courtney Love. He didn’t deserve that shit and the bitch had him killed so her fuckin’ album would hit number by the weekend. I’m glade she’ll burn.

Fuckin’ Prince. What the fuck? That chick from the Cranberries. Damn it.

Stone Temple Pilots, fucking bitches. Scott didn’t deserve the way you cut him loose for for Cheater “The Molester” Bennington. Take a listen to Out of Time. That piece of shit came singing like Scott. When I first heard it I thought it was Scott. Get your own style you piece of shit. Scott was the man and thank God for Velvet Revolver. I highly recommend Contraband.

Part 1: Early Summer Wildflower Palooza, Cranberry Glade. It's orchid week at Cranberry Glades! Ok - the event may not be quite as exciting as Shark Week on Discovery, but plant nerds such as me experience something approaching tingly nipples at the prospect of getting up close and personal with grass pinks and snakemouths. A sampling of the many orchids now in bloom . . .

From top: greater purple fringed orchid (Platanthera grandiflora), a tall, leafy-stemmed beauty with clustered, intricately-fringed lavender flowers; downy rattlesnake plantain (Goodyera pubescens), a common terrestrial orchid of eastern woods with a striking, reticulated pattern in its leaves (this one is getting ready to bloom); the flamboyantly-beautiful tuberous grass pink (Calopogon tuberosus var. tuberosus), whose nectarless flowers deceptively imitate the magenta color of those of other bog plants, such as meadow phlox (following post), to draw pollinators; a ragged fringed orchid (Platanthera lacera), also known as green fringed orchid, whose fragile, frilly green-white flowers are hard to spot in the bog underbrush; the dainty rose pogonia (Pogonia ophioglossoides), also known as snakemouth orchid, due the tooth-like protuberances on its lower lip (note the sneaky goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia) hiding in the flower in the second photo, waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting bee, the orchid's primary pollinator); and northern tubercled orchid (Platanthera flava), another orchid with green-white flowers that can be difficult to spot in the bog underbrush.
