A good friend gave me a box of apples, so on this rainy November day, our home smells like apples, cinnamon, and cardamom. The sights and smells of late fall are so cozy. #Apples #Fall #Friendship #Grateful

I like knitting many socks at once. Cuffs are done. Legs are done. Heels are done. Gussets are done. Now it is time for the feet and the toes. (I am calling these next two months Sockvember!) #Knitting #Socks #SockKnitting #Sockvember #Maker #SanityKnitting #WithMyHands #AntifaHobbies #Autumn 🧶

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

This is one of our last garden harvests of the season, less than two weeks ago. Since then, frost. I am grateful to have wood on the porch and am readying to bring sage, rosemary, chives, thyme, and oregano inside for winter. ❣️ #Bloomscrolling #Gardening #GardenSky #GoldenHour #Fall #AutumnColors

Starting November 1st, SNAP benefits are being cut, leaving millions of people with limited or no access to food. If you are able to help, help. Food banks also take cash donations, which allow them to fill the banks with what they know is most needed. We are truly all we have.

Today at The Poem Farm, my (ad-and-AI-free) blog for children since 2010, I share a poem about self-talk & encourage young writers to jot daily thoughts in a notebook. I welcome your students to visit this friendly space, to write along with me. poemfarm.amylv.com/2025/10/self... #Kidlit #Writing 📝
