Spring has sprung, & so has this little scene of joy! I couldn’t resist illustrating 2 adorable 🌼 having a picnic-because even flowers need a break and some fun in the sun! Let’s celebrate the beauty of the season with simple moments that make us smile. #illustrationlove #natureinart #picnicseason

We care about small businesses because we are a small business. If you're not spending today, show up for your indie bookshop in other waysβ€”such as following them on social media, leaving a positive review online, signing up for a newsletter, etc. Support doesn't always require budget πŸ’•

The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
