It's a delightful time of year when the winds howl in the bare limbed trees and every fungi-covered log may hide a cute little ghostie or two. What does a Halloween Woods look like in Michigan's Upper Peninsula? That's what I set out to record one spooky October eve. A little botany, a little traditional land knowledge -- good for kids or the kid in you, I hope you'll join me in exploring spooky trees and other enchanting finds.

Haha. And I don't mean me. ;) I hope you'll join me on my journey to find the beechnut, one of the wild edibles I've found rather elusive. Keep an eye out for the owl! In an earlier video I posted several weeks ago, on my Patreon account (uploaded here last week), I was excited to find a beech tree near my home with actual beechnuts. They weren't ripened yet. But they've fallen from the tree now! Gathering them, however, was a great reminder that the gift is so often in the journey. Many thanks to Hawke for filming the roads we traveled!

Beech are such generous trees, yet they're in trouble here in Michigan. Join me on a few minutes gallivant to see one young beech....and meet its unforeseen, and rather fearsome, guardian.

Who knew just how cool goldenrod can be! Take a break in your busy day to enjoy the beauty of bees clambering around the goldenrod. Plus I learned something astonishing about goldenrod - they're amazing! These beautiful yellow flowers are an integral part of north country ecology here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northern Wisconsin. The bumblebee, honey bee, and others sure love them. And so do I! So, too rainy for a nature walk? This just might help reconnect you with some autumn wildflowers...if only for a few minutes. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
