I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out, and I say, oh, I am miserable, what shall– what should I do? And the sea says in its lovely voice: Excuse me, I have work to do. —Mary Oliver

Just when we thought mosquitos were going to be the only wildlife we’d spot, this mama and two cubs crossed the road in front of us. Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge has the highest concentration of black bears on the eastern seaboard.

Vacationing on OBX as a child, I was obsessed with the red wolves released into the Alligator River NWR. Extinct in the wild, the future of the species hung on those 8 wolves. 35yrs later, I’m here with my kids, watching, listening. 6 pups born this year. There’s still hope.

I so hope this happens. With everything that Montpelier has been through over the past year seems like poetic justice.
“‘How amazing would it be if the superstar brought her music to Montpelier, Madison’s historic home in Virginia?’ the foundation wrote in a blog post.”

Grateful to @k12albemarle for this....
The Albemarle County School Board said today that it “respectfully but vigorously” disagrees with a newly proposed state policy that would reduce protections for transgender and gender-expansive students. The statement is available on the ACPS website. https://t.co/fnS5aRXeSD

Never seen anything like this before. (Typed while feeding my newborn.)
Louisiana ranks 50th in crime, 48th in education, and 46th in health care. I’m running for Congress to stop this race to the bottom because our children deserve better.
