Crunch time (Learning Things: May 29, 2023)

Tree talkin' and train tracks (Learning Things: April 24, 2023)

Magnolia trees and frustration (Learning Things: April 17, 2023)

A lot of my efforts (in all areas of my life) this week have felt like trudging slowly through mud. While writing this, I paused and looked up whether a Mercury Retrograde is approaching, and sure enough, it looks like we've been in the shadow period since the April 6.
