Garden Fieldnotes

A patch of grass, a passing dragonfly, and two minutes of attention before the day asks anything of you.

An inherited hay fork, flowers after a storm, and American lady caterpillars in the garden.

Prairie sundrops, birdsong, and a childhood love of rainy days in early summer.

Resting pollinators, wild geranium flowers, and the making of small shady places for wildlife.

A curious cardinal, a young sparrow, and a quiet burial among fresh spring leaves.
