What a marvellous first Motherโs Day!! ๐ Itโs a bit surreal for this holiday to apply to myself for the first time. We went to a Motherโs Day Tractor Run ๐ (we live in the country so this is apparently what we do now! ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐พ) Next year weโll get there early enough to score seats actually on a tractor! ๐

Gloriously dramatic tree I saw today in my local cemetery. A tree to tell stories under. Some trees blend in to the background in summer and then start to show their unique beauty in autumn. โค๏ธ๐

A photo of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan who both disappeared. The caption says: If you ever feel like you've been forgotten just remember there was another person in the plane when Amelia Earhart went missing.
Not gonna lie: I'm a historian and I had no idea there was a second person on that plane. His name was Fred Noonan.
We've all been a Fred at one point in our lives ๐
