Enjoying the warm temps outside before the season cools down for good. Listening to either squirrels or birds scratching in a very tall tree next to me. Strawberry Acai Refresher by my side.

When your daughter makes you cry as her first ink is a dedication to me. It is stunning and really suits her.
My favourite bee is the red-tailed bumblebee as it's one of the first signs of spring. Debra means bee.
I'm so honoured and teary. My beasties are my world.

Up next. I hope it's a feel good book.
pickThis was a slow read but pretty enjoyable. It's definitely a little idealistic, but I don't say that as a bad thing, and the basic premise is that there are indigenous traditions of land management and agriculture in Wales that can contribute to biodiversity, carbon sequestration, water management, etc. It's less about language than I'd been led to expect, but it does discuss Welsh a fair bit too.
I'm not incredibly comfortable with defining “Welshness“ as being largely defined by language, owing to the suppression of the Welsh language by the English. Aaaand I think some people would be super uncomfortable with the fact that this book claims the term “indigenous“ for the Welsh (not wrong).
I'm with Glyn Jones for a definition of Welshness:
“To me, anyone can be a Welshman who chooses to be so and is prepared to take the consequences.“

Today‘s haiku is inspired by my window seat view on my plane ride home from Hilo, just before sunset.
Note: Kupuna means elder in Hawaiian, to honor the mountain‘s revered status. It‘s the highest peak in Hawaii & when measured base to peak (including the underwater base) it‘s technically the tallest mountain in the world.

Saw this on my BBC feed today and LOVED it! I only have Litsy has my social, but if any of you can spread the word of this adorable kid so that it reaches Sir David himself for his 99th birthday, that would be incredible!
Here's the link to the story: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ln8r42ge6o?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=em...
1. I recently purchased the tagged book in April on Kindle. It was a $2.99 Kindle deal so I bought it. I‘m looking forward to reading it and learning about all of the different owls that are out there. Recently, I watched a nature show called The Americas that was narrated by Tom Hanks and it showed burrowing owls. I like them. They‘re so cute.
2. Yeah. I use Goodreads, Storygraph, Instagram, Fable, Storylace and Litsy.
