"And all at once, summer collapsed into fall...."

Oscar Wilde

The word I would use to best describe how I feel about this time of year is 'Bittersweet'. I love the Fall so much except for watching as the wildflowers and weeds and all green and growing things wilt away and disappear until Spring. I have been out collecting the last of the native blooms.Squeezing in any minute of time there is left at this cycle's end so I don't waste a single drop with the valley's Astors, Burdock, Fleabane, Mikweed, Dock, Golden Rod, Thistles, Clover and Wild Grape vines.
Southern Ontario really is a medicinal treasure trove. How lucky we are.

There are moments that mark your life with an impact of a force so great it can divide time and split it into 2 parts.. the time before it and the time after it. Moments that can change your life and it will never be the same again.
My brother Anthony tragically and unexpectedly passed away in the first moments of Sunday morning and it has not only torn my life in 2, it has completely shattered my heart.
To my sweet souled, kind-hearted, gentle brother..I can't imagine my life without you and I love you more than words could ever possibly say.
This just doesn't feel real and I keep walking through the rooms of this house like a ghost..like I am in a dream...just waiting for your car to pull into the driveway...waiting for you to walk in the door... waiting here for you to come home.
Rest in Peace my brother, my best friend.
Your loving sister always and forever,
Michelle

The Herons have returned and I am so happy to see my beautiful friends again.
Spiritually the Heron symbolizes many positive things such as determination and independence. The Heron spirit focuses on resourcefulness..making things happen even when there is little to work with, even when the odds may be against you.
The Heron teaches us to recognize solitude, stillness and patience as opportunities.
I think this message is very fitting at this time for all of us and an important one.
I'm glad they are back. Welcome home Heron.

These pictures were taken in different seasons but all in the last year and in a small area near and around my home. This beauty and diversity a microcosm representative of the natural world
I am hoping for some good to come out of the bad. This situation already has opened our eyes and made us fully aware that the decision we make and the things that we do effect not just ourselves but can impact the lives of everyone in our community, our country, the world. Our health, safety and wellbeing depend on the decisions and actions everyone else makes too. We have been thoughtless selfish and spoiled in our actions. We have been neglectful and cruel to our Earth and every living thing on it including eachother.
I feel deeply connected and protective of the place in these pictures and I truly love all that live here from each blade of grass to the fox and the heron. This virus is just the start of consequences that result from our actions. Let's take this opportunity to think about the changes we can make in our own lives to reduce our ecological impact, to safeguard and sustain the beauty and diversity we have left for the the benefit of all.

I have some questions about the public advisories issued globally by WHO and reiterated identically by Health Canada regarding the urgent call for self isolation stressing the importance of staying in our homes and to not go outside for any reason but an emergency I question if we have been given the best advice here and I question the absence of what I believe is additional and equally important guidance and advice. Advisories are issued with the goal of preventing the spread of this virus minimizing the risk of people contacting it. In addition to washing our hands and isolation, strengthening our immune systems is an effective and integral step to reducing the risk of infection for yourself, your family and in turn every one else. The air quality in our homes is 2-5% more toxic and detrimental to our health than the air we breathe outdoors. Cleaning and personal care products are main contributors of pollution in our homes
Aerosols like Lysol disinfectant sprays, dryer sheets, fabric softeners, dishwashing liquid, scented plug ins and synthetic candles contain the highest and most harmful amounts of toxic chemicals that can weaken your immune system and cause serious illnesses mainly those effecting the respiratory system such as asthma and allergies. People suffering from chronic illnesses such as cancer and heart disease, those who have diabetes, asthma and other respiratory disorders have been cautioned of their vulnerability and been told to stay in their homes. What they and all of us have not advised to do is to minimize or eliminate the use of products that are detrimental to our health and increase our risk of getting sick. Fresh air and time spent in nature have been proven essential for maintaining good health and improving the strength and efficiency of our immune systems. Why has this information and guidance not been included in healthcare and government sanctioned advisories? Look at the state of the healthcare system of the world. We are the most technologically advanced population in world history and yet we are the first to have children with a decreased life expectancy rate. Maybe questions instead of blind trust is something to consider

Photo taken by annoyed daughter who has no interest these days in listening to her mom try to teach her about plants and herbal medicine anymore. Just as well i guess because Pennyroyal, the plant in my hands is powerful and poisonous
For the last couple of years i seemed to have developed an affinity to poisonous plants and their medicinal properties kinda like my favorite child poison expert, chemist and super sleuth Flavia DeLuce lol
I grew Pennyroyal for my first time just this past summer and was surprised by its beautiful scent and how pretty it was with sage colored leaves and tiny purple flowers. You would never guess that if not used properly it can be quite dangerous causing abortion, comvulsions, delusions and death. But I just love it and have been experimenting with it as effective flea repellent. I'll keep you posted with my results this spring 🤞❤
