Had a visitor (almost) in my office today. 🤩💚🐦

I missed the smell of low tide when I lived near Lake Michigan. While this wasn’t the lowest point, it was good to see patches of eel grass, large clam shells, anemone communes, siphons littered about, and random crabs. Even saw a little sandpiper skittering along the rocky high tide zone.

When was the last time you stopped to listen to the robins and the wrens delivering their springtide calls? Let these Friday forest moments offer their gifts of soft light through tender green fronds and unfurled leaves. The salmon berries return. A moth presses itself into safety. The sisters reach toward the heavens. A squirrel had lunch. 🌱

I’ve heard it said that Tuesdays are the seventh best day of the week. But this Tuesday was made for a walk in the woods, beer, and enjoying the fact that my favorite human has been on the planet for 37 years now. It’s a good start.

This #EarthDay I celebrated the fact that I did not kill the fuchsia my dad gave me, while taking my tiger for a stroll, and preparing for some significant conversations on water, sacrament, and environmental racism. Because let’s not forget that oppression of people and planet are so very deeply intertwined.

Wee little forest gems (and one curious spider) 🌱

Scene(s) around the house and vicinity. . . This week is our summer preview before the clouds descend (until July 5), which means leaves and blooms are exploding open. The small forest of brackens in front is coming along nicely. Our local garden is experimenting with providing new housing opportunities for small critters—artfully designed, no less. Shelter for all.

#NationalPetDay . . . Please, some of us are merely household staff. 👑🐯
