Laura, you cover a lot of beautiful ground in this essay. First of all, my definition of gratitude may be having a nest of baby birds right outside my kitchen window -- and then documenting their growth (and the changes in the garden) in your absolutely lovely garden journal. I love how you connect with the Mama bird's care and attention of her babies with your own experience of mothering your daughter.
What a beautiful essay! I love your illustrated journal and your artwork. I love to watch for hawks, but never really understood birdwatching until I watched The Residence on Netflix - the main characters love for birds was inspiring, as is yours.
Birds are so interesting. Thanks for the reminder to pay more attention to them.
Wahhhhhh baby birds
(excuse me while I go listen to Landslide on repeat and have a breakdown)
I loved the zucchini chocolate chip with cream cheese!
What a beautiful piece, Laura. Thank you for sharing it.

Your journal is gorgeous, I love that you have illustrated it.
I am also enjoying cream cheese on all manner of baking, it’s the perfect paring.

Thanks for the nice comment! We loved The Residence!
