Two videos have helped me process my grief from the last week. One was a woman releasing a scream of rage at a canyon’s edge. The other was this.

I spent the weekend camping in the woods with my troop. Friday night had sweltering humidity and insane thunderstorms blowing in, and Saturday brought a thirty degree temperature drop. We had a blast. 💚

This is kind of neat to see all together. Everything west of Texas is from road trips to national parks with the kids hauling our camper. (Plus getting married in Vegas 20+ years ago) Fantastic memories.

I needed to read this poem by Nikita Gill this morning. I think maybe this afternoon some of you would like to read it, too.

One of my big projects this year was to hire a crew to remove the fallen trees in our yard, but I’ve been hearing a Great Horned Owl call outside my bedroom window for two weeks now, so obviously that’s going to be put on hold. #naturecalls 🦉

Today is Hobbit Day, where the family marathons the LOTR trilogy, and dines on hobbit food: crusty bread, beef stew, etc. It’s one of the best days of the year. 😊🧙♂️🌋🧝♀️
