This little plant thief showed up in my yard about 1.5 years ago. Sad for my garden. Great for studying rabbit poses for The Highly Sensitive Rabbit. 🐇 #cottontail #rabbit #kidlit #kidlitart

I met Jane Goodall about 15 years ago. I was so overwhelmed with emotion; I cried. She said to me, "Without tears in the eyes, there'd be no rainbows in the skies." A great loss. #JaneGoodall

I recently switched my default search engine to www.ecosia.org to avoid the unnecessary AI summaries from Google and because I want the world to have more trees. To my surprise, Ecosia also does this by default; however, you can go into the settings and turn it off.
