Happy Monday Everyone!

Today I’m starting to feel the approach of fall weather, so because of that I decided to share some fall colors with you all. My favorite time of year is between autumn and winter because my favorite thing to do is have a nice cup of coffee and curl up with a great book. Also, the cold reminds me that holidays and family gatherings aren’t too far behind. What are your favorite things to do once the cold weather starts to roll in? Let us know in the comments section!

Happy Monday! Let’s take this Monday morning to try to ease our way into this week which may (for some of us) be our first full week of school this year. This peaceful image was taken at Mason Neck State Park in Lorton, Virginia. Hope everyone has a great week!

Happy Friday Everyone! This Friday we return to Puerto Rico to bring you the leaves of a Trumpet Tree (also referred to colloquially as Snakewood). The Trumpet Tree (Cecropia peltata) has been identified on the Global Invasive Species Database as one of the ‘worst 100’ invasive species. This is why we don’t bring seeds into foreign countries, kids.
