Dear Margaret, You have inspired me anew to follow your practice of writing about something beautiful I observe every day. Spring should be a good time to "begin again." I love the simplicity and concreteness of the practices you use in Weather Report. You uplift us! Thank you!
We are enjoying another unseasonably warm spring day in Wisconsin. On a park walk, Henrietta and I passed a your mother pushing a two-tiered pram. I spoke with the toddler and heard a squeak from the babe hidden under a cover. The mother was pretty with long dark hair -- soft spoken with a warm smile.
It was good to ‘meet’ you on Sam’s call today and to learn of our shared interest in beauty, those small things that can shift the needle on the day. It’s interesting how we have ‘nice’ insects (butterflies, bees, dragonflies and so on) that we take notice of and all too frequently dismiss the rest; they are all beautiful in their own way and have a role to play (I’m not sure deer tick nymphs will ever win my affection though).

Thank you Joann!
I love this idea of marking the outside pages. I'm going to do this with my copy of Weather Report. Thank you Margaret.
That’s great Julie, and it’s fun.! I’d love to see a pic? 😍
I'll share it with you. :) Hmm...I'll figure out how to do that.

I found this beautiful.
Gail, thank you for sharing that special encounter, and I love that squeak from the hidden baby!

I would have asked for a peek if I didn’t have bouncy Henrietta with me. 🤭

Oh yes Michela, deer tick nymphs 😏
