Lichen

Porch sitting in the early morning with the birds singing as the light visibly is changing before my eyes.

Cardinal sang for the first time that I've heard it this year calling in the coming Spring.

We are half way through winter and the earth is beginning to stir.

If you listen closely you can hear it.

Are you listening?

with friends

I shared my sit spot with five classes at South Jackson Elementary today.  I would do it again tomorrow if they would let me...

Today we watch kill deer, stuck our arms as far as they would go down vole trails in the grass, considered why coyote scat has hair in it, and listened...

we really listened...

all five classes...

to the silence.
