Moody selfie, standing in the woods, or what used to be a 100 acre wood near my home where I’ve walked for the past 14 years, learning all its nooks and crannies. All spring and summer I’ve been cringing at the sound of logging in those woods. This evening I finally steeled myself to go check out the damages. It is both worse than and not as bad as I feared. So many beautiful spots — ferny, mossy, mushroomy paths ground to mud that has since dried to dust, natural pools and marshes exposes to the sun and dried up, and these pictures taken in what was once a favorite glen where I routinely stood to pray/meditate in 4 directions, now a parking lot for stacks of logs and monster logging vehicles.... but the trees that remain, parentless, are telling me they are okay, the will grow, they will do their best to fill in the gaps. And enough remains that I’m not anticipating a new development replacing these woods at least not soon. But still, feeling sad to see the violence of it all. And grateful for the young spotted deer who popped up out of the brush when I walked by, and held my gaze for a long minute before bounding away. And this little frog (toad?) thriving in the shady habitat of my backyard garden, where I let the weeds take over, replacing the greens the woodchuck favored this spring. Okay, so I don’t have kale, but steamed pig weed and lambs quarters is as tender and delicious as any spinach. The woodchuck is happy and I have plenty of color on my plate. Still grateful. . . . #naturenurtures #naturenotes #selfie #environment #ctlife #hike #woods #inspiredbynature #encironmental #toads https://www.instagram.com/p/CDc6TGGnAqy/?igshid=xaixrq3qek1b
Taking a moment to appreciate the riches of the season: plump ramps, soon to be sautéed, a neighbor’s roadside plantings, wild violets growing in my unmanicured lawn (to be pressed and dried), and one of many daffodils I let dry in their vase. So delicate and strange. . . . #spring2020 #ramps #driedflowers #homestead #ctlife #newengland #thankful #foragedfood #forage #forager #naturelover #inspiredbynature (at Chaplin, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CATt3-1ndgS/?igshid=g3vtekl8u75c

Ella es mi segunda bebé. La que soñé tener para ser la mejor amiga de su hermana mayor. . Siempre la quise en mi vida, no vino cuando la buscábamos pero vino como un regalo especial. . Mi pequeña bebé, ojalá algún día leas éste mensaje y sepas la gran bendición que eres para nuestras vidas y que lo que más queremos es que seas una gran mujer y seas luz en este mundo tan oscuro.
