I like weather in the 60s. Even cloudy days. It seems like the zinnia colors pop even more on days like this.

I like our front garden. Yesterday I let a bumble bee land on my knee. I’m a little bit scared of bees (PTSD from stepping on wasps nest as a child!), so this was a big deal. Sitting in our pollinator garden is helping me develop a better relationship with these amazing little critters.

Also monarchs. So many monarchs. I love this.

The amazing and beautiful Sarah made a beautiful and amazing mask storage bag for us, organized by height! Now our masks (3 sizes, all made by Sarah) are easily accessible when we leave the house.💜 I mean, it also doubles as a nesting place for stuffies, so that’s magical in its own right. 😊

I love that we’ve been able to keep the bunnies and squirrels fed all summer (peas, cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, and beans). It’s fun having a nature preserve in the front yard.

And yet… I am equally glad that they’ve so far overlooked a couple squashes and one pumpkin. I hope they keep ignoring them!

I also really love learning more about our brains and nervous systems and the things we can do to change our lives even when there’s a lot about our lives that we can’t change…And then organizing and editing that information into fun, interactive classes! 😊
