In the 26 years we’ve lived here, I’ve never seen a wild turkey on our property. But now we have a mama and three polts! I see them every morning on my forest walk. #birds

A happy surprise on the milkweed today! Last count: 9 monarch cats, plus many more eggs. #nature #monarch #gardening🌱

We’ve had this happen a couple times, which is stupidly stressful! This little one wore itself out flying in our skylights trying to escape, then landed on top of a cabinet—and my husband quickly scooped it up in his hands and took it outside! Whew.

This little friend accidentally flew inside the house. Silly guy. He needed a little TLC after his rescue—some sugar water and a rest—and then he zipped away. #addBirder #birds #hummingbird #birdnerd #nature #naturelover

As silly as it may seem, the Goodreads giveaway is one of those milestones I have been waiting for for so long. If you’re on Goodreads, enter to win one of 10 early copies of DOLL PARTS coming August 26, 2025. 

The golden witch hazel against the blue, blue sky is a tiny glimmer of joy in our screwed up world. Find your glimmers of joy. 🌱

Fight with your wallet.

First daffodil bouquet of the year. It’s only a tiny one, but I need all the glimmers of joy I can find during these dark days. And—I’m trying to figure out this app. Any hints? Where are my gardening friends?

Same.

Infuriating.
