What a way to end our camp week. My brother went out and got life jackets for the 4 kids and my (still new) sister-in-law took my kiddo out on the paddle board while brother kayaked with the other three older ones. Dad and I boiled on the dock, snapping pictures. I watched my little love go from nervous and anxious to brave and enthusiastic. She did not get in the water but she stood up on the board, she took a turn paddling and splashed her feet in the water. In an hour she turned fearless. 🥹

Trying to start the new day fresh after the gloom I felt yesterday. Be the joy in someone’s day today. You never know who needs it. #cosonauts #cosonautscare
Very pleased with my family’s beautiful work in the garden. 🪴We’ve got blueberries, raspberries on the way and strawberries still going strong. Our apple tree also has its very first apple and the fig tree is spreading out quite nicely but is probably some years out from bearing fruit, (unfortunately it went back to ground over the winter because we didn’t winterize it in time.)
#TIL that the great great great grandfather of my child’s green parrot puppet was the first ever paleontologist and geologist.
He was a contemporary to the dinosaurs and lived to be an estimated 60 million years. Here is an artist’s rendering of this feathered father of both paleontology and geology, as interpreted from the historical record.
