Compass garden - Maryland Goldenaster is such a great late bloom.
I'm making progress on digging out the bases for the cobblestone steppers. If I work on it before noon it's in the shade. I'm sifting rocks out of the dirt to use for the 4" gravel base. I'm saving like $10 - woot! I broke the concrete off the bottom of the previous random rock steppers and I'm sledging it for more setting base material. Another $10 saved!!

White Springs, Florida
1. Florida Carpenter Ant on Rattlepod. Florida Carpenter Ant males die directly after mating yet they are one of the most active and fastest growing ants in North America. Their lifespan is up to 7 years for worker ants and 10 years for the Queen. Rattlepods are part of the Legume family and were first introduced to the U.S. due to its nitrogen fixing bacteria that improves the soil. They are poisonous to livestock and horses.
2. Soft Goldenaster
3. Red leaves of a turning Sweetgum sapling with a bright orange trunk. Sweetgum resin was used to flavor chewing gum up into the 1920’s.
4. Bald Cypress trees along the limestone banks of the Suwannee River in fall.
5. Saw Palmetto, Sand Pines, and Oak trees along the tall banks of the Suwannee.
6. Moss covered limestone
7. Dying pine straw on a recently fallen pine limb.
8. Dog Fennel. Toxic to livestock. Leaves can be used to repel mosquitoes and juice from the plant can be used to treat bites of insects and reptiles.
9. A coral spot (I think) infected Sweetgum tree.
10. A changing Sweetgum sapling turning purple.

If you’re near the dunes keep an eye out for this beauty—sickle leaved golden aster. It is considered rare but can be locally common in certain areas. I found this one and quite a few others on a walk at Sandy Neck. #capecod #wildflower #summer #sanddunes #dunes #duneflower #goldenaster #yellow #august #nature #getoutside https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7Zs67nmXa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Short, Curly Haired! S/O
Request: If you don’t mind, could the reader have messy curly hair? ( like short messy curly hair? I totally don’t want to buzz in your work/ bother your creative process so if you dont want to do it it’s fine!! 💕 )
Characters: All! Separate, Non-Poly. (Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, April O’Neil.)
Content Warnings: None!
Word Count: 1021
Raphael
Short curly hair… he’s so in love. 2B to 4C, it’s all gorgeous to him!
If you’re okay with having your hair touched, he’s a king at detangling. His fingers work apart the little knots and tangles so gently, you hardly even realize he’s there. It’s relaxing.
Loves putting little spring beauties, virginia roses, and starflowers in your hair.
Curly hair & glasses pair so well together… if you ever include glasses into your aesthetic, he’s gonna MELT.
Entranced by the life and bounce of your hair.
Really impressed by the amount of time and care that goes into maintaining curly hair!!
He’s pretty good about packing umbrellas! New York rains all the time, which sucks if your hair frizzes in the rain. It’s nice to walk cuddled up to him, rain tapping rhythmically on the umbrella.
Literally the king of beanies. Do it, steal them. (He thinks it's the cutest thing ever, too. He can’t help but lean down to give you a kiss when he catches you.)
Leonardo
Curly hair is so pretty to him, and short hair has a very special spot in his heart, so short AND curly hair? He’s about to propose.
He’s actually pretty okay at detangling! He knows when he’s not gonna be able to get one and just leaves it alone. Great to fall asleep to, not so great if you actually want to go somewhere.
This man has the memory of a GOD. He knows your hair care routine forwards and backwards, and he likes to help :) He also likes to draw little cat ears on your products. It makes you giggle.
He likes to rest his head on yours doing movie night.
He loves to swim so much… godspeed with your hair, babe. He promises not to tease you if your hair gets frizzy.
He’ll carry an umbrella for you for the rain. New York is so rainy… rip frizzies.
We all know he’s jokes for everything. Any time, any place. It’s your choice on whether you have to beat him to death with a pillow.
“Hey, could you pass me the salt?” “What? Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the…. volume of your hair.”
Humble him by smacking him with the nearest pillow <3
Donatello
God, you’re so pretty. Short, messy, naturally curly hair is literally his ideal type.
Also god FINALLY an excuse to buy silk satin pillowcases. He’s been wanting them for ages, he just hasn’t actually bought them. He’s 100% using this as an excuse. Even if you don’t use satin pillowcases yourself, he’s getting them damn it.
King of detangling. Need I say more?
Tech bo has a built-in umbrella! God is Real and she’s in New York tonight <3
He’s somewhat aware of the amount of love and care that goes into maintaining curly hair. He’s heard April talk about the trials of having coily hair - from maintenance to weird people who think it’s their right to touch other people (ew) - he’s heard it all. (She has around 3C-4A hair.) So while he doesn’t have the experience of having curly hair himself, he’s got a healthy respect and admiration for it. He memorizes the products and routines you do, and sees if there’s any way to automate your routine or make it easier.
He’s good at striking a balance in coloring curly hair! If you ever want help with coloring your hair, he’s the turtle to go to. Great at mixing chemicals to lighten your hair without damaging your hair. He’s also got a great eye for color.
He’s not one to put flowers in your hair himself, but he thinks they’re really pretty. And to be fair… it’s such a look. He’ll also short-circuit if you ever incorporate glasses into your aesthetic. (His biggest weakness </3)
Michelangelo
He’s in LOVE.
King of the flower crowns. If he was allowed inside Trader Joes, you know he’d be buying out their flower section so he could fashion them into crowns for you. But uh… we know about The Situation. And Dad said no more breaking into stores </3
So he likes to pick wild flowers instead!! (He’s most partial to Swamp Azalea, Goldenaster, Butterfly Weed, and Beachrod crowns! On road trips, he spends a lot of time picking flowers for you. He’s so cute.)
Always forgets his umbrella </3 He’ll give you his jacket though. Dork.
He’s pretty good at coloring curly hair! If you can figure out how to lighten it, he knows how to color it. He’s got a great idea of how the color will show up, and he knows how to pick the perfect shade.
King of butterfly clips and bobby pins.
In love with the way your hair bounces. He may or may not have a couple pages in his Commonplace Journal dedicated to poetry about you.
April O’Neil
CURLY HAIR SOLIDARITY
Depending on how coily your hair is, how dry it is, what the texture is, etc. She might have some styling tips! She loves how short your hair is, too.
Your guys’ bathroom is so stocked </3
Interested in knowing your routine! She’s down to share hers as well, if you ever want to try something new. She also wants to know about your history with your hair, if you’re fine with talking about it. Natural hair is something to be proud of, and growing up curly ain’t always easy.
She genuinely has no idea how to bleach & dye curly hair </3 If you ever want to try it though, she’d love to try it with you! (She REALLY wants neon green tips, or maybe an ombre…)
Local beanie thief! She’s gonna steal ‘em all. (But gladly welcomes you doing the same, lmao.)
Goddess at detangling! She’s gentle and fast as hell. It’s really easy to fall asleep in her arms like that.
The humidity of NY is AWFUL. Y’all can suffer together, though. Rain doesn’t bother her all too much, but she’s always gonna pack an umbrella for you.
Loves buying flower bouquets for you. When she walks in with them, she always has one smaller, cut flower to tuck behind your ear.
She has a strong love for poetry, and she often writes about you.
[ @whygz I hope this turned out okay!! :D]

Rockaway Beach, Pacifica (No. 3)
The coastal bluffs have verticality as steep as 60 percent, while some of the quarry surfaces are completely sheer. The limestone beds within the quarry are hard and fresh, with close- and widely spaced fractures. Some of these beds are underlain by greenstone, an altered volcanic rock that becomes less weathered with depth. The eastern portion of the quarry area is underlain by alluvial terrace deposits. The beach littoral zone is underlain by Holocene age beach sand and the upper sands vary in depth by season, depending on the surf scouring of beach sands in the winter and the gradual rebuilding of sands in the summer.
The beach and headlands are mostly California coastal prairie and Northern coastal scrub, while the riparian area of Calera Creek presents the most important upland habitat of the area. Although the beach and headlands area are the least disturbed natural areas of the Rockaway Beach area, they are used moderately as recreation spots. Vegetation is sparse on the beach with occurrences of Succulent sea fig, Hottentot fig, and Fat hen in the sandy areas. Farther away from the beach there are California poppies, Sand verbena, and Bush lupines. The near littoral elevation gradually increases toward the north until it reaches a headland peak of 175 feet.
Habitat on the headland east-facing slope consists of Northern coastal scrub, considerable Prostrate coyote brush, Bush monkey flower, and colonies of Bush lupine. A gamut of coastal wildflowers inhabit the headland slopes; in addition to California poppy, there are Goldenasters, Douglas Iris, and many other native species. The steep bluff faces host plants that are tolerant of wind and sea salt mist, such as Silver Beachweed, Sea rocket, and extensive patches of Yarrow.
North of the developed area of Rockaway Beach is a hidden quarry, whose habitat is severely disturbed. Rip-rap boulders protect the developed area from marine erosion. Near Calera creek there is aquatic vegetation including rushes, bulrushes, horsetail, fat hen, and plantain. The quarry area hosts a surprising number of amphibians, reptiles, small mammals, and a variety of birds. Avafauna sighted here include herons, egrets, California Least Terns, and red-winged blackbirds. The headland cliffs within the quarry provide nesting sites for bank swallows, pelagic cormorants, and Brandt's cormorants. Three endangered species are found proximate to Rockaway Beach: the San Francisco garter snake, the San Bruno elfin butterfly, and the California red-legged frog. These last two are found within the quarry property; the California red-legged frog is a critical food source for the San Francisco Garter Snake that is known to exist on the Mori Point National Park property immediately adjacent to the north.

Hairy False Goldenaster
Scientific Name: Heterotheca villosa
4-10″; full sun; any well-drained soil; drought tolerant
Description: This is a low-growing, prolific bloomer that does exceptionally well in poor, dry soils, whether they be sandy, gravelly, or clayey. Though it doesn’t like wet conditions, it adapts to so many other situations that it is commonly found growing all over the western U.S. This is also an extremely resilient plant, known to bounce back from being trampled or even driven over by vehicles. Another bonus is the plant’s long bloom period that spans the growing season from spring to frost. Leaves are small, narrow, and look grayish green because of the tiny hairs they carry. Flowers are abundant, bright yellow, and about 1” in diameter. Both the common and scientific names focus on the plant’s hairiness (“villosa” = hairy), owing to the plant’s hairy stems. Leaves have a lovely scent when crushed.
Height: 4-10”
Spread/Spacing: 10-12”/ 12-15”
Exposure: full sun, part shade
Soil Tolerances: gravelly or sandy soil; silty, sandy loam, or clay soils
Soil Moisture: dry, well-drained
Water: low; excellent drought tolerance
Bloom: May-October
Pollinator value: nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, other pollinators
Deer & Rabbit Resistance: yes
Where they like to grow: Fields, waste areas, along roads; grows and spreads in poor soils.
