Wisconsin's Natural Bridge State Park: Arch, Rockshelter, Shade-Tolerant Flora of Medicinal Interest

Some such plant species as among those in Natural Bridge State Park -- blackberries (Rubus allegheniensis), black cherry (Prunus serotina), common juniper (Juniperus communis), goldenrod (Solidago spp), frost grapes (Vitis riparia), hickory (Carya ovata), New Jersey tea (Ceanothus americanus), prickly gooseberry (Ribes cynosbati), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) but also available through east-, south-, west-yard vegetation -- excel as jams and jellies alongside or on crepes and pancakes.

For the Labor-Day weekend -- as I did for crepes-and-pancakes months February 2025 and February 2026 -- it made for magnificent, marvelous munchables to manifest blackberry and black-cherry jams and jellies and hickory syrup alongside and on September crepes.

The September-pancake wonders will wend their way onto the porch table Saturday, September 26 as National Pancake Day!

Film Review: Girl on the Bridge in English, La fille sur le pont in French

For those asking about the surname Debilly, the afore-articulated last name arises from French biogeographies even as different areas are accepted for their appearances.

The afore-broached surname perhaps bases in central-east Nièvre, in north Picardie or northwest Normandie or in southeast Rhône..

Collecting Arita Porcelain: Arita Tokkuri Sake Bottles and their Cultural Relevance

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Do collectors and makers deem some clay-driven white-hued colors as more dazzling than others or does whatever the clay in question delivers delight their buying and selling customer bases?
