The last day of the 'halloween' days, so to speak: All Souls Day. 💀🎃 Here's a photo from the summer of this beautiful garden spider, her body almost as large as a 50 cent piece that lived by my gate for half of the summer only coming out at night within her rebuilt web. One evening I returned home and the movement light come on as usual. A honey bee 🐝 flew into the web and down rushed the spider from her middle spot 🕸, wrapped the trapped honey bee all in the space of 7 seconds. It was sadly magical to see. This is a benign photo of her on another evening being the art piece that she was. I miss her presence and hope for a possible return to the same spot next year. 🕷🕸🧡 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ZECuhAtbC/?igshid=1qybjt3u72wnn

Honey kombucha (jun) with red and pink rose 🥀 petals from the homestead. I have made ginger, lime, lemon, and even a jalapeño one. #kombucha #mystichomestead

Spring, finally, in Spokaloo. Baby leaves, buds, blossoms all at once instead of staggered like usual. #Po #springtime #babynewness #iloveeveryseason

Most mornings when I do yoga, there’s at least one animal on the mat. This day, everyone was in front of the fireplace. #welovefire #poenzorayray #coldmorning #yogaeveryday #cats&doglove

Reason # 27 why I love living in Spokaloo. Spokane river, mamma moose and her adolescent. First time for Po meeting a moose. He barked in fear and to protect as I put a tree between me and the mamma reassuring him and asking him to stop. She was 10 feet away as I sapped this shot and walked by her. The adolescent followed us a little bit. We were all mushroom gazing except for Po. :-) #IloveSpokane #SpokaneRiver #11minutesfrommyhouse #mammamooseandherteenager #po

This is another reason October is my favorite month here. #skies #beauty #fallcolors #october #ilovewhereilive

There are many reasons I adore living in Spokane but I think the river is the main one. I go to the river 2-4 times a week, 10-20 minutes away, depending. Always rejuvenating. It blesses me 🙏and Po loves the water. 🐾#SpokaneRiver #Po #Blessed #IloveSpokane
