Notes from the Farm:
Prep prep ground! Sweat it out! Hot hot hot!
Baby birds, super cool caterpillars! Saving space for the creatures (unmowed fields and nooks and crannies).
Our pheasants have babies.
Our kitchen barn swallow's babies hatched.
Although this email is a flurry, I am remembering that it is Day 40 of the Detroit Will Breath marches downtown. They have been marching daily for police reform. If you are interested, you can support them, join them, read about them, read about what they want and need. Let's build community, not prisons.
