Oh no. I have a new obsession.... it's .

This is not done, but I have to go to a conference and I need to go pack... and i guess sleep?

But I just want to keep going!

Also, i am contemplating the morbid idea of using not mbta bird legs to finish him (like a starling) because I'm thinking it's going to be hard to make feet. But maybe that's a bridge too far?

Probably not great considering it's october 31 and i live in Pennsylvania, but it WAS 80 degrees today and there are plenty of bugs about to eat.

At the same time, you're supposed to be migrating to your hibernation zones, my friends. Where will you roost all winter to stay safe and warm?

Still. I'm enjoying spending this on my porch with tea and bats.

And papaya. She's here too.

I am so excited to be a part of this popup in the Philadelphia Premium Outlets this holiday season!

Meet Sarah Presogna of Ecobota: Ecological Botanicals. She will be joining the gallery for this holiday season.

Sarah tells us, "Combining my work with plants with my love for the environment with a healthy dash of creative outlet thrown in.

"In college, I worked in the herbarium of the Carnegie Museum where I learned first-hand how to preserve and mount botanic specimens for long-term archival collections. It was probably the most fun I ever had at a job - I got to do all the technical science things that I love, but I was also tasked with making the specimens aesthetically appealing. I really missed doing that, and thus Ecobota was born. It is my own intersection of art and science.

"I have a degree in Environmental Science as well as numerous years working in Museums and Botanic Gardens around Pennsylvania so you can be sure each specimen that I wild collect is not damaging the ecosystem in any way."

I feel like this is what a mushroom a videogame stupid look like in the real world.

What I'm trying to say is that is a quest mushroom.

This! This is why my yard looks like a hot mess to all of my neighbors (and possibly husband).

You don't get butterflies if there's no place for caterpillars to be born.

Too bad it's during this hurricane... she has no where to go.
