I am also being constantly hounded by my new coworkers for more #statsTiktok so perhaps it’s time to revive that as well😂

And fear not, I still am working from California 🌴

Felt like a great day to check out Braiding Sweetgrass from my library🥳

I loved the Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer, so I can’t wait to listen to this🌿

Thank you Gavy 🥳
