We enjoyed a short visit to Hot Springs National Park. Enjoy our public lands now, our current fascist federal administration could take them away before much longer.

A great leader and a great place - you don't want to miss this trip, and act fast, it's sure to fill quickly. Escape the summer heat in late July and spend a week in Panama’s mountains. Tom Reed leads this trip for New Jersey Audubon, check out the details here: njaudubon.org/eco-travel/#....

The season’s first daffodil came into bloom in our garden this week; there are still reasons for hope.
