a day of conversations with moms and kids.  so many.  how do you talk to under 6 year olds about nature, climate change, etc?  You don’t.  You just be with them in their curiosities, follow them, ask questions, resonate.

a few gifts left in the Field Station this weekend: a little bundle of lawn flowers, wrapped so sweetly in a blade of grass…  another cicada shell.

the binoculars, which seemed to have been taken (stolen?) a few weeks ago, have returned.  Now there are two pairs.  Which is really better.  There are always at least two people who visit.  And they all, all love the binocs.
