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. https://t.co/eItv7f701N

@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?!

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:
