Book Mail! I bought a chapbook by a poet I stumbled across on Substack and look how pretty it is— it’s hand bound, and the cover has collage and stitching on it. Can’t wait to read.

I found my 1 month infant care instructions from 1964 which recommends feeding a 6 week old ‘meats.’

I love buying chapbooks from poets I meet on social media. This is a solid collection— I particularly enjoyed a poem titled Rooftop.

This lovely riot of zinnias is still feeding bees and butterflies.

Isn’t the Missouri River pretty today?

I had a short break between things on today’s to-do list so I packed myself a snack and ate it by the Missouri River.

Could be Socrates? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Regardless, it’s the advice I need.

I art journaled my geraniums.

This tiny book was a desk cleaning side quest. I’ve had the materials out for over a year and decided making the book would be more fun than putting the supplies away. Yes, I used the project I’ve been procrastinating on to procrastinate on another project.

We’ve got a great reading coming up in June!

I planted geraniums in the pot I inherited from my mother-in-law that she always used for geraniums. I go to the nursery every year and pick out whichever color I think she’d have liked best.

I’ve been expecting this but it’s still upsetting. New Roots for Refugees taught refugees US business practices and helped them to establish themselves as farmers within the local food system.
