I am grateful to live in such a beautiful part of the world...last night on our walk I kept smelling the most amazing hay like , patchouli laced scent. It was glorious. I kept thinking that I was back in the 60’s wearing my favorite solid hippy chick perfume...does any one remember the Coty Sweet Earth solid perfume compacts? Well I couldn’t figure out what I was smelling until I got around to the front of the lake. It was an enormous patch of Yellow Sweet Clover, a beautiful biennial that is used for forage, cover cropping, conservation, and honey making and of course bouquets... I walked over to admire it and found that it was covered with honeybees, always a good sign. I thanked them for taking me on such a delightful trip down memory lane and went home to enjoy a most delightful and psychedelic sleep. I can’t wait to go back and collect some seeds for my own flowery mead...#flowerymead #flowerymeadow #clover #yellowclover #theschooloftheseasons #livinginseason #seasonalcelebrations #seasonalpriestess #cotysweetearth #bethschreibmangehring #herbanfarmgirl #herbanglow #herbs #covercrops #shakerlakes (at The Herban Inn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPsrDbmpnc9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ran into my favorite girl on a walk today by the lake. She got to meet Malcolm for the first time. So good to see you @rosalina.m94 #saturday #shakerlakes #goldenretriever #dogsofinstagram #dogs #bestiesforlife (at The Herban Inn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcJxAx7rf3q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love coyotes. To me they are such magical and mysterious tricksters, it thrills me when I get to see one which is fairly rare, they are much more reticent than most realize.This is a timely ( it’s mating season right now!) and great repost from @shakerlakes all about living peacefully with these vastly misunderstood creatures. • Coyotes are an often misunderstood native species that are part of a healthy ecosystem. While you may occasionally spot a coyote during the day, they are most active between dusk-dawn. Our trail cameras capture sightings of them at night and their characteristic bushy tail gives them away even in the blurriest of images. 🍎 A study by Urban Coyote Research Program analyzed over 1,400 scats and found the most common food items were small rodents (42%), fruit (23%), deer (22%), and rabbit (18%). Only 2% of scat had human garbage and just 1.3% showed evidence of cats. That said, keep small dogs and cats inside or stay with them at night when coyotes are most active. It is also recommended you remove garbage and pet food before nightfall. FUN FACTS ❤️ Coyotes mate for life and are monogamous—they are 100% faithful to their mate. 🏠 As humans take over more countryside, coyotes are adapting to living in cities to find food. 🐾 Breeding season is February through March. In spring, females build dens for their young. Have you seen a coyote in your neighborhood?
