Dear Reader,
Cooler fall weather sends Dot to the kitchen, where I’ve been cooking up some soups and casseroles and an apple crumble from the apples in my backyard. It’s a race to see who can get them first — me or my dog Theo, who has taken to jumping up and pulling the fruit right off the low-hanging branches.

But tonight, this delicious mushroom pasta is on the menu. Mushrooms, we know, are great meat substitutes (not to mention that they’re versatile — they can also fight fires!), and super healthy.
Want to read about mushrooms as well as eat them? Then get yourself a copy of Merlin Sheldrake’s Entangled Life: How Fungi Shape Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, and Shape Our Futures (available on Amazon and Thriftbooks). Fungi are more than just the mushrooms we see; they’re also a diverse network of organisms that exist beneath our feet, improving soil health, sequestering carbon, regulating plant growth, and
boosting biodiversity. By understanding them, Merlin argues, we just might better understand life itself.
Fungily,
Dot

Why LeafGuard Outperforms Every Other Gutter System
|
|
Generic gutter
guards are add-on solutions that treat the symptom, not the problem. LeafGuard addresses it at the source by completely replacing your gutter system with a proprietary design that makes clogs physically impossible.
The seamless construction eliminates joints where leaks typically develop. The curved hood uses the principle of liquid adhesion to guide water in while deflecting everything else. Even small debris like seeds and pine needles that slip through mesh guards can't enter LeafGuard's system. The result is a maintenance-free solution that actually works.
Bluedot Living readers save with 75% off installation plus $200 off. This isn't just about convenience—it's about investing in a system that's built to last and performs as promised.
