Welcome to Litsy!

Delightful

Some alpaca yarn dyed with kitchen scraps (pomegranate peels, avocado pits, onion skins) — I am getting ready for a new knitting project. #LitsyCrafters

This book may change your understanding of what plants are. They can communicate with each other. They can change their chemical makeup to dissuade predators. Some change their appearance to blend in with their neighbors better.

I learned many things, definitely recommend if science and plants and nature are interesting to you.

I‘ve been dipping into this fascinating book over the last several months, and now I‘m hoping to finish it before the end of the year. Joining you to #ReadOutTheOld @TheAromaofBooks 📚📚📚

I got these tiny reading animals to add to my book nooks. A new hobby and all. They are cute! I can see them being a hit with readers of all ages; just as long as they aren‘t young enough to pop them in their mouths or anything. They come in packs of 12 and 24
Individually wrapped. Great for classes and libraries.

#Adventathon @bookmarktavern Reading this book for #Naturalitsy, so grateful it was picked because it's an absolute delight.This bit made me laugh out loud at the strange ways we anthropomorphise other living things that are utterly indifferent to us.

My mom and I decided to make a little display in the living room for our dog Toppy right after she passed away. Our display has Toppy‘s ashes with her picture on it, her paw print with her name on it and some of her favorite toys that she liked playing with. Something I‘ve started working on is writing down some happy memories of her because it was recommended in an article I read online.

This is such a beautiful book. Mabey is a prosaic nature writer who extols the complexities of the botanical world and its impact on our art, history, literature, medicine, and science.
My favourite chapters were The Cult of Celebrity, Growing Together and particularly Chiaroscoro.
