1. I’m feeling better, thanks to some extra rest and these magnificent
thank you notes from my friends at Sage School.
2. My heavily monitored mystery viburnum eggs have still not hatched.
What are they waiting for?
3. I did some amphibian monitoring work this week as part of my
research for the citizen science book. Taking notes in the dark
(which is when you monitor frog calls) is hard!
4. I’m heading to Ithaca, New York on Monday to do a final series
of interviews for the citizen science book … and I will be
participating in an official Ladybug Hunt!
5. The amazing Colleen Mondor at Chasing Ray has invited me to be
part of a panel of women writers who want to talk deeply about
girls and books and reading. Please join us!
6. That end-of-the-schoolyear-kickoff-to-summer craziness known
around here as the Little League Baseball Playoffs begins today.
Go Ben! Go Sam! Go Pirates!
