I love this!

My cat Farrah in my suitcase.

I guess she wants to come along on this trip. It's so hard to leave her, even if it's just overnight! #catsofbluesky #catinsuitcase #cutestcatever #cats

I wonder if the Red Shouldered Hawk I've been seeing lately is this juvenile from last year all grown up? #addbirder #redshoulderedhawk #predator #birds #nature

Same!

Sunset over the lake

US flag waving at night

The sunset from my walk last night was beautiful. I remember when the one picture would have made me feel proud, now I struggle with mixed feelings. I'm trying to feel hopeful, but it's hard. This is one reason why my walks are so important for my mental health. #sunset #fdt #joinmywalk

Osprey in nest on big light pole.

I was so excited to see this osprey in their nest on my walk tonight! I wasn't sure if they would reuse it or not. I watched last year as they worked hard keeping the little ones fed! #birds #nature #osprey #nesting

My Farrah loves to play fetch! She is just the cutest of cats! #FetchFriday #catsofbluesky #cats

My video skills leave much to be desired, but I'm going to keep working at it! Please excuse my thick southern accent and my adhd moment with the crescent moon! #squirrel #nature #joinmywalk #selfcare

Sunset through wintery trees on a lake

I needed this walk tonight! Today was rough. The physical activity is good for my body, but it's my mental health that benefits the most, I think. #nature #selfcare #sunset #fdt

I think this is a great horned owl in a tree with the sunset.

My walk this evening was amazing! A few signs of spring, a gorgeous sunset and, I think this is a Great Horned Owl. I always feel better after getting outside! #nature #selfcare #birds #greathornedowl

It's that time of year. The Purple Martins are back to nest. #nature #birds #walking

Tonight's walk was so nice. I'm enjoying the cooler weather we're having right now. I try to do my part to help keep the area nice! People suck sometimes! #nature #selfcare #litterbugs #leavenotrace

A valentines shirt that says, "my class is full of sweethearts " but the "cl" is covered up!

It's always good to be able to laugh, especially at yourself. I definitely provided laughter at school on Friday when the secretary pointed out my lanyard covering the "cl" on my shirt! I'd worn it all day before she pointed it out! #teacherhumor #funny

Lake with gray clouds and brown trees

Viburnum giving hope for spring

Beautiful, old oak tree

Sometimes we must search a bit harder to find the beauty! A storm is moving in and it was windy, gray, and dreary for my walk. It still soothed my soul to get outside. #stormcoming #nature #selfcare

Farrah and I share a moment of pure happiness on this beautiful #Caturday #cats

I only have 4 students with me & 2 adults, due to some severe behaviors and delays. Today my students hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate strawberry bouquets. It was loud, chaotic and stressful, but I'm so proud of how well they did! We did about 300 strawberries!

Cute cat sleeping on it's back in my lap.

I'm pretty sure this is a good reason to call out sick from school today, right? #cats #cutestcat

I moved from Denver a couple of years ago. I miss seeing the mountains and the gorgeous fall and spring.

Ducks on rocks

I wish everyone had access to a safe neighborhood with accessible paths to see nature up close. I know that I am so fortunate. I will never tire of walking here. Tonight I saw an anahinga, a great egret, and some ducks on rocks. #nature #selfcare #birds

Gorgeous!

JFC I'm so over this crap.

Today's walk was short, but peaceful. I saw this Red Shouldered Hawk and this Northern Mockingbird. #nature #selfcare

Anhinga drying it's wings. Their wings are not waterproof.

Beautiful evergreen at the lake with a red shoulders hawk in the top left of the tree.

Ducks on the lake

I had a wonderful walk this evening! I got to see an anhinga, a red shouldered hawk and some ducks as I walked for my mental health. I'm pretty sure fresh air and nature are some of my best calming tools! #nature #selfcare #calm #fdt

Sunrise over the ocean

Boardwalk through mangroves

Little Blue Heron

A gorgeous, but cold weekend at the beach. Watching the sun rise over the Atlantic is a wonderful way to start your day and a nice walk through the mangroves to the river was so pretty and peaceful. I think this Little Blue Heron was cold, because I was able to get so close before it took flight.

A couple of pictures from my walk tonight. Getting out in the fresh air and spending some time in nature is just good for my soul and was definitely what I needed today. #nature #selfcare

This is my first time posting a video. It's not the best, but I'm going to try to share a bit of myself here. I'm an old, southern lady. I'm teeny, tiny blue dot in my red state. I love cooking, nature, my cat and travel. #firstvideo #skylight #nature #FDT #selfcare

I wish I was in Denmark with my grandcat, Okie, contemplating the fjord today.
