When we moved to Michigan, I resisted. I did not want to be here. But every time I stepped into the backyard, nature accepted me, until my resistance broke into all kinds of wonder-full pieces. Feeling inspired by @adalimon's #youarehere. sarahzwickle.com/2023/10/25/urb…

@ayesharascoe Also, apologies and correction: Will Shortz.

Sunday love to a returned @ayesharascoe. Thank you for an update on Will Shorts. #npr #morningedition where can listeners send get well soon #postcards to the #puzzlemaster?

@ayesharascoe Thank you @ayesharascoe! Favorite NPR story of all time: "Getting to Know the Puzzlemaster" Favorite this week's challenge answer: #Klingon. Answer to this week's challenge for the beloved #puzzlemaster: love, puzzles, and postcards full of both.

It turns out a miracle is (I just now looked it up), profoundly, an object of wonder that causes you to smile. sarahzwickle.com/2023/12/12/mir…

Flocks of winter birds in their murmurations just before sunset are a symphony in flight. Conducted by whom? Doesn't matter. They lift my eyes and my mood off the dull pavement and into the sky. sarahzwickle.com/2023/11/14/com…

@LGSpace @WildlifeTrusts I've written state agencies in Michigan to have these installed. MI is 4th in the US for collisions with animals. Wildflife rerouted me to DNR, DNR to Fisheries, Fisheries to DOT. How do we advocate for and then GET these?!

Wildlife bridges and nature corridors can create much-needed connectivity to help plants and animals move between fragmented habitats. More of these please! (Photo from Switzerland via @WildlifeTrusts)

I was weeding spaces between mare's tail and giant hyssop, sneezeweed and sunchokes (some of you out there are wondering, "is she weeding the weeds?!") I admit, I was wondering what it was for, this time, these wildflowers, when the world is on fire. Then I saw her, and I knew:

After 5 years of entertaining rampant milkweed in the backyard, I stumbled on our first monarch caterpillar, fat, gorging itself on one just out the back door. One more future monarch! Astonishing! Lovity! Small Encounters sarahzwickle.com/2023/09/07/sma…

There is no Internet connection, no cell service, not even a number to call, but maybe, if I write enough raw wild into the world, she'll smell new pine spice on the breeze and come back. sarahzwickle.com/2022/12/09/dru…
