I finished another cake of yarn and thought it would be fun to show the pictorial progression of fluff to stuff.
From fluff to stuff

Almond butter hack
I don’t know who needs to know this, but if your almond butter is more like syrup than butter, mixing in some almond flour does wonders. I recently tried a new brand of almond butter, and it was the “mix first” kind, with the layer of oil on top. When mixed, it was spreadable, but just kept spreading. What a mess. So I stirred in some almond flour and I can now put it on my morning apple without it crawling off. It is the little things.
Uh, creepy
I probably should have broken down the jack-o-lanterns before putting them in the compost pile, because now the compost pile has personality. Yikes.
Swinging
My chickens use their swing all the time, but usually jump off before I can get a good video (because treats!) I finally managed to get a good shot of a hen enjoying the swing. So here is your smile for the day.
Helping my memory
According to Native American seed, fall is the time for sowing wild flowers. I’ve done this for the last three years, and I never remember where I’ve sewn what in the meadow. Neat little plant markers don’t work so well when you have to mow it all down (after it has gone to seed, of course). So this year I took a picture of the meadow and marked up the photo on my phone. I took a picture of the seed packs too, as a key. We’ll see if this helps identify what does well! It might take a couple years. I had some plants come up two years after I spread the seed (I’m looking at you, standing cypress.) American basket flowers are my favorite, so they get an extra dose of chance.
