A month of reflection. A month of applications and prep work. A month of falling behind and catching back up. A month of imperfection. A month of moving fast. I remind myself to: move slowly.

BOOKS I CHECKED OUT FROM THE LIBRARY
Sometimes, I go a little wild on book requests. Or if I am feeling sad and feel like I need to fill a void, I go to the library and check out a bunch of books.

That’s all for now. This photo was from my February field day with the Maine Master Naturalist Program at the Falmouth Audubon. February was so snowy. Now everything is melting and the air is warmer. Buds on the red maples are starting to glow. Until next time. ✿ Raquel
