Same. We made little May Day cone baskets out of construction paper with handles to hang on doors and filled them with candy and violets or pansies. Sometimes we had a May pole at school with long colored crepe paper that we wove around the pole.

An “accessory.” Justice Marshall delivered it raw and real.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

One more flight. I left at 6 am yesterday and will get home at midnight today. I am looking forward to some quiet and sleep. It was a good trip.

I love tracking my flight on Google maps because I can figure out what I am seeing out the window. We just flew by the grand canyon. Yesterday we flew over the town in Kansas where I grew up.

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds

I'm flying today and was next to a pilot in security. I asked him if seeing the world from the sky ever gets old. He smiled and said, Never.

You might find "kuş sarayları" (bird palaces), gorgeous stone bird houses in the shape of elaborate mansions. These were mainly built between the 16th to 19th centuries, to show kindness to birds

Holee wow.

Happy #EarthDay from some my favourite corners of the Earth near(ish) to where I live. I know everything is dark and overwhelming these days, but I hope this can bring you a little light and a reminder of the incredible beauty we share this planet with.
