Fall is a great time to get the pruners out and give plants a little tidy up. But whatever you do, DON'T PRUNE THESE PLANTS! If you do, you won't get flowers next spring or summer. See the list in the comments.

New research suggests that forests may act more like living communities than collections of individual trees.

During a partial solar eclipse in October 2022, scientists in Italy’s Dolomites found that spruce trees across the forest began changing their internal electrical activity hours before the eclipse started. Sensors attached to trunks, roots, and branches showed a synchronized shift—almost as if the forest anticipated the event.

Older trees reacted the most, hinting they might store an “ecological memory” and help guide younger trees during rare natural occurrences. Even old stumps showed faint activity, suggesting they still play a role in the forest network.

This discovery supports the idea that forests operate as connected, cooperative systems—where ancient trees act as guardians of knowledge and stability for the entire ecosystem.

During World War I, a remarkable group of heroes worked quietly in the shadows of no man’s land—mercy dogs, also known as casualty dogs or Red Cross dogs.

These specially trained canines ventured into the most dangerous battle zones, searching for wounded soldiers among the chaos. Outfitted with saddlebags filled with water, liquor, and first aid supplies, the dogs brought critical help to injured men who were often stranded and alone.

If a wounded soldier was able to help himself, he could use the supplies the dog delivered. For those too badly hurt to move, the dog would bring back a piece of the soldier’s uniform to the trenches, guiding medics straight to him. Most heartbreakingly, when a soldier was beyond saving, these loyal animals would stay by his side, providing comfort and company in his final moments a gentle presence in a world of violence.

It’s estimated that 20,000 mercy dogs served across both World Wars, their instincts and loyalty saving countless lives. Surgeons even remarked that these dogs could sense signs of life that humans missed. Silent, steadfast, and brave, the mercy dogs of WWI were much more than helpers they were lifelines, bringing hope and comfort in humanity’s darkest hours.
