@GLHJR That’s fierce. Channeling this intention for strength and balance today.

[Megan Motil @MeganGTBay]

@MccauleyMathias The focus here was on people. People first. That’s the takeaway.

[Megan Motil @MeganGTBay]

@GLHJR I will check and see if she’s up for this.

One of the most noticeable spring wildflowers is Dutchman's Breeches, named for its puffy pant-like appearance.

The "pants" are formed by the petals. The odd shape is thought to help protect the encapsulated pollen from rain and wind damage.

I’m fortunate to have access to nature near my neighborhood. East Bay Park in Traverse City, MI was my inspiration for this watercolor. Both the walk to the shore and painting provide a nice respite from my work at home. #MyHappyPlace #LandTrust #Land4All

This is a great idea.

I hope whoever came up with this gets due credit. Our neighbor is older and lives alone so I gave her 3 color pieces of paper for her window which faces our window. Green is for I'm OK, yellow for need help with an errand, and red for emergency. Isolation Communication.

Say you'd still want this: us alive,
