I haven't written anything in years and I pretty much forgot about my blog. But reflecting on the past 4 years living in NC and teaching. My writer's block finally dissipated into something reflective of my journey here.

Do your professional development trainings look like this??
What an awesome day out at Lake Norman State Park with the Schools in the Park Program. Working together to bring the outdoors into the classroom and the students out exploring State Parks!

I actually cried when I heard the news that Jane Goodall had died. She has had such an incredible impact throughout her life. A completely inspirational woman... ❤️

I’m no political strategist but if Trump wants to distract us from the Epstein Files, he could try fully funding NIH, EPA, NASA, NOAA, NSF, USDA, USGS, etc. We’d be so shocked that we won’t stop talking about it for months.

Bought The Pebbles on the Beach book yesterday at Lynmouth and almost finished reading it. This morning we went to St Audrie's Waterfall and searched for pebbles and sea glass.
This afternoon we are fossil hunting in Watchet after an amazing meal and some ciders at a local pub!

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all. It comes at a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth.
This budget bill is a nightmare.

The Worst Bill in History
Trump’s giant budget-busting, Medicaid-shattering, shafting-the-poor-and-working-class, making-the-rich-even richer bill

I visited our native pollinator garden at school today to check on it before my flight and found monarch caterpillars on our milkweed!
I created a little flyer with the photos to share the news with the community!

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

This native garden at a park I visit yesterday was absolutely stunning.
Looking more closely, I actually became concerned.
Could not see a pollinator in sight...

Southern Mountains of NC!
We spent the day splashing through cold, clear streams, flipping rocks, and spotting salamanders in one of North Carolina’s beautiful state parks.

What an awesome day doing some PD for my EE Certification. This time we, explored the CATCH curriculum and ran activities for the community alongside NC Wildlife biologists. (Fishing was a plus!)
Also, snuck in a visit to Haw River State Park on the way home!
