Just finished “James” by Percival Everett. Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Some books should be read not only because they are “good” but because they are important. This is 100% one of those books.

Last read: “King of Ashes” - S.A. Crosby. Crosby is basically an auto buy for me.

Reading How to Murder Your Life and bird nerding out with the Merlin app and a glass of wine.

Not sure our bunny friends know about the heat wave. Better munch as much clover as they can before the yard is scorching.

Hammock views. If we ever lose this oak tree it’ll take a little piece of my soul. I like to believe it was here before the house (1953) when this suburb was all farmland and forest. 🌱

Heat wave is on the way and water is out in the garden for visiting creatures. I’ll be in the hammock under the great oak tree. 🌱

You do not need to rise like the pine. You can curl, thorny and sweet, like the blackberry—and still be sacred. Nature needs them both. 🖤🌿

Slowly but surely the blooms are coming. It’s been an unreasonably wet and chilly spring here and I’ve been patiently waiting.

My problem is I have a soft spot for a lot of “weeds” so I’ll always just be a messy and chaotic gardener.

I guess I have to go to work tomorrow. Back to reading in the city. I think I prefer Warblers over a lot of Lawyers…

We saw a loon courtship dance last night. Such magic in the synchronicity. Nature is the purest definition of awesome. This is so good for the soul.
