Looking off our balcony at Felix’s red bud tree.
Three days ago water was released from the Rio Grande into our ditch. Around here, that means spring has officially sprung.
What Riley Wore
I’m so excited about this book, written by Elana K. Arnold, and illustrated by me! It will be released on August 27, 2019.
Gender-creative Riley knows just what to wear for every occasion during a busy week with family and friends in this sweet and timely picture book from Elana K. Arnold and Linda Davick.
Riley wears whatever clothes feel right each day. On Monday, Riley feels shy and wears a bunny costume to school. On Tuesday, a scary trip to the dentist calls for a super hero cape. For a trip out with Otta and Oma, a ball gown is the perfect outfit.
This charming picture book is a gentle exploration of self-expression and source of encouragement for being true to oneself despite the expectations of others.

Mouse Trap?
Found along the trail: This tiny trap is approximately 2 inches wide, with a horizontal ladder!

Today we discovered that if we walk along the ditch trail to Montaño Rd and take a left, we can hike back home along the levee. 5:59 pm / 40°.
