🌿 Plant Spotlight: Cranberries

Wisconsin bogs glow red this month as cranberries are harvested. Beyond their tart holiday sauce fame, cranberries have long been used in preserves, juices, and dried snacks. Spot the harvest trucks on country roads — a sure sign of fall in our state.

🍃 Seasonal Tip

Gather fallen maple leaves and press them between book pages. They’ll hold their fiery color all winter — a simple way to keep October’s brilliance close at hand.

🌼 Dandelion Note

As fields fade brown, dandelion leaves still hug the soil — green rosettes waiting for spring. They remind us that renewal often starts quietly, long before we notice.
