Another for #StandingStoneSunday: while I was there a skylark flew down and lit on a stone at Scotland's Tomnaverie stone circle. I was thrilled because Shelley's To a Skylark was one of my favorite poems when I was young but we don't have them in the States. I got to see and hear them plenty during my visit. #Scotland #bird #birds #skylark #tomnaverie

I hired a landscape designer and he delivered this . It looks good, but somehow communication broke down and they included a lot of non-native plants when I thought I was clear I wanted native plants. If they include obvious introduced plants, how can I trust they'll source plants that meet my less visible criteria, like straight species / open pollinated & local ecotype? So I guess I have to modify and implement it myself, based on what native plants I can source.

Any feedback?

@skyfaller When you say native do you mean to your area of PA, to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast? Eastern half of North America? People use this term to mean different things.

I agree that if you want straight species and local ecotypes you’ll probably have to get them yourself. I would trust very few people to understand those concepts well enough to do what you want. People think they know what you mean but the idea in their heads is different from yours.

@skyfaller I keep thinking about this. Native plants are a passion of mine. If I may recommend, consider planting some kind of Joe Pye weed somewhere. Such a tall pollinator-friendly plant to have around. Butterflies love it.

@CTGT Well done! I hear them all around when I walk but very rarely see them.

@CTGT Cool. A couple of the early warblers. I’ve heard yellow-rumps and saw a Nashville but I need to spend more time out there. Migration goes so quickly!

@CTGT Nice! What time of day do you go out? First thing? Or some other time?

@nancywisser@mastodon.social avatar

@CTGT Thanks. I haven’t been seeing a lot the last couple mornings but maybe the cold is why. I should probably wait on cold mornings until the sun penetrates the woods.

A lot of people think I’ve overreacted and continue to overreact about Covid. That’s okay. If you’re one of those who are tired of hearing about then you definitely shouldn’t read this article about society’s possible future with . I think it’s probably on the money but then remember I overreact. This is fine. 🔥🐕🔥

Oh, today is my 8th anniversary of working on Mastodon. I was 23 when I started, finishing my last year of university, still living at my parent's place. I had no idea what I was getting myself into or that it would consume the next 8 years of my life almost completely.

@skyfaller Further thoughts. The problem is that no other site has picked up Tumblr’s unique reblogging style, originally called tumbling, in which a post can be reblogged with added comments almost endlessly, and that style is what imo makes Tumblr the best place on the internet. Posts get reblogged with additions by all kinds of people until they show up in your timeline full of great information, hysterical quips and gifs, or poignant comments, sometimes all 3. It’s unique.
