I had a different post up about the events this week in the US. But everyone saw what happened and everyone knows why. I am trying to move beyond these feelings of weariness and sadness. I am trying to find something that makes me smile and might make you smile too. Please stay safe…..

Have a wonderful nature-filled week! Please be safe.

Michelle, I know how I feel so I’m sure I know what you’re feeling as well. Stay healthy and safe, my friend…:)jp
Delightful photos, Michele! I often use a hashtag on Instagram that #natureheals. It really does!
I love those photos and they make me really smile! Gorgeous!
ooh!!! I”m just now discovering your blog and my spiritual temperament is Naturalist so I will definitely be back to visit!! I enjoyed a quick walk around my backyard this afternoon videotaping a “footprints in the snow” lesson plan for my special needs preschoolers via google classroom. We are all in quarantine as we had a (thankfully!!) low risk exposure at the agency site where i teach. So our teaching is happening via live circles, etc. I love this blog and will be back!
Lovely post, Michelle! Take care and keep well.
