I needed to hear this, maybe you do too 🖤 Thanks @devonthenatureguy “There are countless others doing their part. You do not need to hold it all…Maybe you know some other beautiful soul that needs to know they are seen, they are cared for and appreciated, and that, yes, they can-and must-rest.”

Here’s a beautiful sunrise for anyone that slept through the amazing lunar eclipse last night like I did 😂😴🌅 I see you. Maybe I won’t be as tired when it happens again in 2048 🫠 #lunareclipsefail #sunrise
The sun rises in a cloudy sky over a body of water. Silhouettes of plants and a tiny gnome dot the shoreline that is darkened in the foreground by shadow.

It is a serious thing-
just to be alive-

So creative! The Eryngium yuccifolium one though 🤩 #winterseedsowing @wildonesnatives.bsky.social #wowc #plantnativeplants #growhope
Four milk jugs sit on a table surrounded by supplies for winter sowing seeds. The caps are off and they are sealed with duct tape. The jugs are decorated with different pictures — flowers, leaves, a butterfly and a rattlesnake. In the background, a child decorates one of the jugs using a marker.

Tell me you love your library without telling me you love your library ❤️📚🦉🌱 @thegppl.bsky.social #outdoorprogramming #community #winterseedsowing #owls
Grown ups and kids, all bundled up, gather around two tables outside. They are planting seeds together in milk jugs. A container holding seed packets sit on the table. A child looks over while two grownups flip through the seeds. There are open milk jugs filled with soil in the background. A child places owl stickers on a blue bookmark that reads “Owl Hold Your Place.” There is also an illustration of an owl at the top of the bookmark. Outside, a table displays information about owls, as well as pictures, and a large plastic great horned owl.
