Thank you Jason , for showcasing beauty. Not just a soul mate, a kindred spirit, maybe a combination of each. Sharer of joy, joy mate, life sharer. Well, after 47 years , I haven’t figured out the exact name for what we have together. No need really, I think the Staghorn Sumac leaves say it best, tomorrow it might be something different, maybe a male and female Cardinal perched near each other on a wintered white branch. Actually, Heather said it best;

“Somehow the wind blew you here, next to me”.

Happy New Season & Happy and Healthy New Year. And thank you for sharing with a sharer.

A quietly beautiful gift to share with your devoted grateful readers. Especially happy to hear you are taking well-deserved gentle downtime for yourself! 💫

Thank you, Kathleen. I'm enjoying the downtime from the news, but have replaced it with family busyness - kids, dogs, games, overeating - that has kept me quite occupied.

Thanks, Lori. I'm always happy to highlight Heather and the naturalist program. Would love to see programs like MMNP become a much larger part of daily culture. That would be a good sign, right?
