smiling flowers pokey bugs october

The gladiolas are bringing in the hummingbirds, the mud house is climbing upwards, and the smiles are glowing as we round out this month of internship adventures.
The walls are mudding up lovely, with bottles and window holes and dreams of sweet inhabiting.

The bathroom marked for the bathtub and dry composting toilet.
So many smiles...
...and concentration in keeping with the line... if that's your style.
'Tis that season again, and the caterpillars are poking all around us...
Calendula flower balms on their way. Here infusing in sunflower oil...
Anybody know the name of this flower?? It has appeared in our gardens for two years now, and we are just curious if it has medicinal or edible properties...
In the garden-- green beans on their way...
...and fava beans on the plate...

And as always, the baked delights just keep rolling out... this time, bagel explosions!
The local school kids did their Ecology Fair presentation on Mama Roja happenings and their in-school implementation of environmental care... and won! Now they go to the state fair and keep spreading the good work!
Of course, the interns did their share to help the kids out on their project... earthen mini-models of the on-goings at Mama Roja. Fabulous!Bonus Photo: The birth of the winged...

The flower you mention could be a columbine?
