Last Notes npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 It suggests that the mechanism involved in blocking sensation dates back to the common ancestor of both plants and animals. (Not ruling out the possibility that this mechanism evolved more than once!) What’s also cool is that our photoreceptors and those of plants are chemically the same. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I’ve found ignoring Richard Dawkins has made my life marginally more pleasant for many years, but now I’m wondering in what sense he calls himself a “biologist.” npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Clearly not a fan of all those beautiful Art Deco table radios from the 1920s and 30s. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 @npub1san…jgxu , another little something for #SolarPunkSunday ? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 As they point out in the article, the management decisions are highly site-specific. If it’s a wasteland for miles around, go wild with the invasives. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I’m with you: Let the plants decide. It’s never clear how much human intervention is helpful, but the track record thus far suggests that the prudent thing is for people to do less. Maybe reintroduce some species and see if they take hold, and maybe remove “crap plants” to let plants that take longer to establish have a chance. But then stand back and let evolution do its thing. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Well, my next question would be bird flu. I only ask because I know that scavenging birds like vultures are super-vulnerable to picking it up from diseased waterfowl locally. But that’s along a major migratory route along the east coast. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 What’s the local rabies situation? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 This popped onto my radar just today, Central VA friends, and you may already know about it. But apparently it’s *already* on the Hanover County Board’s agenda for Wednesday, according to my friend from the League of Women Voters. (January 28 at 5;30 PM, 7516 County Complex Rd, Hanover, VA.) npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Kaine has said he will vote no “without significant amendment,” whatever that means. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Tiny harbingers of spring: blooms of my native hazelnut, Corylus americana.The left photo is the male inflorescence, which you can see is starting to open up in preparation for releasing pollen. The right photo, taken a couple inches further up the same branch, is the itty-bitty female flower. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 All good suggestions! I would also add, however, that you should limit the amounts you collect to just a few. People tend to underestimate their impact. Also, don’t collect seed too early. If it’s fully mature, it will come off the plant quite easily. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 RE: https://sfba.social/@kueda/115849827524782875 npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Yes! Testify, moths! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I once had a chance to take a botanical illustration class with the main artist for the Flora of Virginia, Laura Call Gastinger. While I was there I bought one of her prints, which is an array of bits of #virginia #NativePlants that can be found in December. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Scrolled way back just to block this creep. So sorry! I’ll never understand why people like that don’t just shut up and keep their ugliness to themselves. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 “And for all this, Nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things…” npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 First of all, does anyone recognize this grass? Clearly not North American. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 As an aside, I used to know the couple that run The Timberjay, and they are awesome people who, if I recall correctly, live off-grid in a cabin they built themselves. They are also serious journalists, the type that’s hard to find any more. They would probably feel at home in the Fediverse. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Fungi! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 What’s the use of all these cookbooks? Well, when you’ve reached your limit with the #enshittification of Internet cooking sites, they are there for you. And this weekend, I hit my limit. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Meet my Leave the Leaves™️ Poster Child. I have no idea who this is going to be. Have a restful winter, lil buddy. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I have a foreboding feeling that the antivaxers are going to be making this much worse than it needed to be. Poor chickens. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 So, if I have room for ONE cultivated apple tree in coastal Virginia, what variety would be happy around here? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 This sounds like a lovely day! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Did you know it’s a mast year? https://beige.party/@Shivviness/115457259210762124 npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Wake up, babe, new invasive weed just dropped. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 What's in your field bag? I'll go first. In lieu of exceeding the character limit for the alt-text, I'll describe and annotate in a short thread. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Gluten Free npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I’d probably go for something like gender-nonconforming feminine? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Putting this out here for future reference. @npub1fn5…2e3g 's thread about Carob -- and discussion of other trees that are also legumes, like Redbud, Cercis canadensis -- sent me down a fun #botany rabbit hole about another tree in that category, Black Locust, Robinia pseudoacacia. I've always loved to eat its flowers raw off the tree, but could the pods also be edible? Maybe. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I was wondering if the larger airports with the larger planes could still do that in a pinch. Do they just talk to each other on the tower frequency? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 For anyone struggling with moving paper-based or spreadsheet-based citizen science survey data into the digital realm, this is just THE BEST! The right help at the right time. I am so excited! Now I know what I’m doing all winter. @topazcufflinks https://biodiversity.social/@gbif/115253477563670414 npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 The is the BEST NEWS! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 #covid update! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 And also with you. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I know you’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop, and here it finally is: the nut we were promised. #sedges #flatsedges #NativePlants #horta npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Maybe they all ate the radioactive shrimp at a party gathering. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I was having a pretty good time until you showed up. #invasives #invertebrates npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Why should you not go out into the woods and gather your own bowl of Pawpaw fruit? Isn’t there plenty for everyone? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Pawpaw news! Here you see the first harvest of a Pawpaw tree (North America’s largest native fruit) I planted almost a decade ago. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Very handy to have an expert in the family! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Looks very similar to Cyperus iria, which is what we get here. Very undemanding plant! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 When I was a young child, while driving around with my mom, there was a talk show on the radio about what I heard as “artistic children.” Being a fairly artistic child, I was extremely confused about why anyone would be so troubled and concerned about “artistic children.” npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I fits, I sits: Corsi-Rosenthal Box edition. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 On the other hand, maybe they are just here for the figs. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I have a sacrificial front yard that’s designed to communicate to the neighborhood that I’m respecting the norms here and keeping a (little bit of a) trimmed lawn. Mullet landscaping: Party in the back. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I would take your fig storage tips, if you have any. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Well, I don't need much encouragement to share these. :) npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 #WildFlowerHour Hello! <tap tap tap> This thing on? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Pleasingly cool in the summer heat, too. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 These are so nice! They look like they glow in the dark. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Glad to hear this. I’m trying scarlet runner beans this year, purely for a decorative screen, and I’ve gotten almost zero flowers. I don’t get it. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Admittedly, it looks a lot like many other flatsedges, but a close look at the flowering part of the plant should help. The “flatsedge” refers to the flat whorl of leaves under the inflorescence. This group of sedges blooms when it’s hot, but I’d guess the best time to harvest would be fall, when they would be fattening up their winter reserves. Check their status where you live, but around here they are considered a weed — although the Flora hedges bit and says their nativity is “uncertain.” npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Sedges in the news! An article in the Guardian made a reference to Horchata, but not the Central American drink made from barley. Apparently Spanish Horchata is made from tiger nuts — but what are those? Turns out they are the tuberous roots of a flatsedge, Cyperus esculentens. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Also, #insects. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 New horrors. The Biodiversity Heritage Library needs help. The Smithsonian Institution will end its support as of 1 Jan 2026. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Lovely, and it fits into a category of music that I love but never been to explain well. Instead of having a strong melodic line, this sort of music (or segment) has a very minimal melody, while forward motion is provided by the changes in the accompaniment. The melody can be as simple as one note, even just a held note, but its interaction with the rest of the music creates different harmonies and tones like light through cut glass making shifting rainbows. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Anyone in the mood for some bug ID? I have a theory about what’s happening here but would love for someone with more bee-smarts to weigh in first. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 It’s always a pleasure to hear someone speaking the unvarnished truth, even if the message is a harsh one. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Look up an organization called Election Protection. They mostly do routine assistance, but they have a robust network for documenting intimidation at the polls. They always could use more volunteers! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Bad storm, but also one of the last times I felt like the Internet was going to make the world a better place. After a day or two, a G+ friend in California was concerned because he still couldn’t reach his mother, who lived alone in the woods. My kids and I went to check on her, and we found her without electricity but fine — standing in her driveway, saying goodbye to some *other* random Internet person who also went to check on her. @npub1nf4…nqe4 npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Very disappointed to see all three Dems from Northern Virginia voted no. I don’t think that’s what their constituents would want from them. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Trying for the third time to post this…. #bees #invertebrates npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 This gorgeous thing blooms for only one night, which is why it’s called Queen of the Night cactus. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Just finished this book. What disgusting people. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Radiocat! I know a veterinarian who works there. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Retracting the mean stuff I said about Newsom earlier. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Juncus tenuis is a rush that gets little respect. Its common name is Path Rush, because it tends to live along paths, getting stepped on, holding the soil down, and looking like a beaten-up clump of tough, wiry grass. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 It’s happening. I’m finally going to have Pawpaws! North America’s largest native fruit. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 The perks of being stuck in traffic: A couple years ago, at a full stop on the entrance ramp to the interstate, I noticed this cactus. This one seems to be exploiting the protection of the metal guardrail. A true survivor. I’ve been watching it ever since. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Adventures in home coffee roasting, now with home-grown coffee, product of a houseplant that got a little out of hand. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Botanizing with the cat. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Well, good morning, tiny one! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Even if you aren’t in NYC, you can check the list of projects to see if there’s one for your city as well. #iNaturalist https://ecoevo.social/@xris/114398804107462989 npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Want to take a guess? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I drove such a long way today just to see the Pink Lady’s Slipper. But it’s quite the flower, isn’t it? I nearly missed the season for this one. #NativePlants npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I never used an electric toothbrush until 2020, when I realized that it might not be safe to visit the dentist again any time soon. Trade-offs. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 The National Park Service has been editing history. Guess what’s being sent down the memory hole? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 The fences are back? That’s the scariest thing I’ve heard yet. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Would you believe me if I told you that this pretty, cheerful flower is bad news? npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 So let me get this straight: this is like doodling, but with textiles? I’m intrigued, at least in part because I have all these scraps of beautiful fabric that are too small and irregular for any real use, but too nice to throw away. Hmm. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Actually, the state insect is the Tiger Swallowtail, which is not at all fierce. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 We do have Carolina Mantis in Virginia still, but it’s much harder to find than the invasive kind. I make it a practice to destroy any of the non-native egg cases that I find, and I even (squeamishly, and with great regret) euthanize the adults by catching them and putting them in the freezer. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 That’s a very fine set-up. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I am so sorry. IKEA can be fun (soft-serve ice cream with berry sauce!) but Potomac Mills Mall is the gates of hell. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Does Mastodon have a gall or gallwasps community? Maybe a Carpinus caroliana fan club? Because I have no idea who made this gall, or the hundreds of others just like it that were covering the branches of a mature American Hornbeam tree. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Outdoor cats with Bird Flu in New Jersey. No known exposure. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Excellent idea. Build a network here. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 "My grandmother bought me my first pentagram" is like the first line of a story that I definitely would read. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 What sort of tea?

I think my wjnter Junco flock is mainly here for the Broomsedge. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 For the east coast, Ernst Seeds and Roundstone are the two big sources of native grass seeds. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I learned Fortran on cards! npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 This actually makes me sad. People not eating leftovers? Not saving old towels for cleaning rags? It’s worse than I thought. npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 I’ve been hoping for the Coup-o-Meter to be revived by its original owners.

Move the needle back a tick! #USPol npub156zf895jfu82k87k6y9gn83ttdj4aalg5vcwylcx4v8ejjr7ez2svyhx3t Climate Jenny 2.1 Just look at this hairy little Hawkweed, getting a head start on Spring. #NativePlants
