I would like to take this moment, while she is video conferencing in her Montessori educator role, to mark one year since Our Lady of the River/Creek/Stream Bed and I have been traveling these parts of the universe in tandem. She has this eye for spotting really special things in nature, and she makes me feel that I am a like find. I love you Lareisa @lareisa, aka captain of my quaranteam.

This is 40. Also, this is my love @lareisa. We’re about to hit the Frye Farm to crash this built in party so we’ll be out of touch a bit. See you in the new year folks.
