Nice to see so many mushrooms while out and about.    It was so dry at this point last year they were few and fair between on the ground.

Wild Marjoram, Origanum vulgare

I’m actually not convinced that the Solidago above is really a Solidago (they’ve split some of the goldenrods out into other genera recently), but all of the alternatives I could find weren’t ever documented in Bennington County (or even a county over in either VT or MA), so it’s going to have to remain a mystery for

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

So post-apocalyptic fiction is really hot right now. I have quite a bit of it in my to read pile. And I’m really not in the mood for it. Consequently, I’ve been rereading a bunch of books this year in a happier vein. Like fairy tales. This is the lead up to say that I

The Scarlet Thread – D. S. Murphy

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

I get a couple different book newsletters for cheap or free ebook deals. I’ve learned to be really leery of the free ones. So I was really pleasantly surprised by this book. It’s definitely more in the YA realm, so has a fair amount of teenage angst, but not anymore than any typical book in
