Rain is falling on the budding trees, and it's like nature's own symphony awakening the blooms of spring. #SpringAwakening #NatureIsHealing #RainyDayVibes

Grief hitting hard today. It’s been years but it feels like it happened yesterday.

Spotted the first sign of spring!!! A brave little flower braving the chilly, wet weather. Hang in there, little one. Warmer days are coming. #SpringIsInTheAir #SignsOfSpring #NatureIsResilient

I'm pretty sure I could hear the collective sigh of relief when the sun finally peeked through the clouds. We all needed this dose of sunshine. #PostStormVibes #SunshineAndSmiles #SpringIsInTheAir

These fields were on fire🔥
The conditions were perfect for a few days of burning. Prescribed burns help to reduce the spread of invasive species and remove old vegetation to make room for new growth 🌱

The birds are singing, the sun is shining, and I’m huffing and puffing my way around a paved track. Where is my Hocking Hills adventure when I need it? #HockingHills #SpringIsHere

I’m convinced that if I could just see the natural trails of Hocking Hills from my suburban paved trails, I’d be able to run a marathon. Well maybe not a marathon but 2 miles for sure. #motivationneeded #HockingHillscalling

Got some not so great news today. Have to keep reminding myself, I am not my failures and it’s okay to be disappointed. Sometimes, the things we want the most are the things hardest to achieve. But that doesn’t mean they’re not worth pursuing. #hopeinthefuture #believeinyourself

It’s okay to have bad days; it’s okay to be overwhelmed. I’ve had my fair share of those days. But don’t let those feelings define you. You are capable of so much more. #believeinyourself #mentalheath #youarestrong

I’m sending out good vibes to everyone feeling overwhelmed by the world right now. You are strong, capable, and, resilient. You’ve got this. #mentalhealthmatters #believeinyourself #youareworthit

There’s a secret congressional hearing in the trees; judging by their off-key squawking, the state of the union is tense. Pretty sure the cardinals are proposing a higher worm tax, the blue warblers are filibustering and the robins are tweeting they are moving abroad. #USAPolitics

I’m still dumbstruck from yesterday’s meeting. Much like a blizzard, arguments can quickly escalate from a light flurry to a full blown whiteout of insults. #communicationbreakdown

Feels like the US is a reality TV show at this point. At least today feels like spring and providing some much-needed escapism. #realitytvshow #natureescape #springisintheair

Just witnessed a epic squirrel chase in the park. I'm pretty sure they put on this chase for my benefit. At least that’s the story I’m telling myself. #TeamSquirrel #ParkLife

Today I’m trading doomscrolling for tree-gazing. Much better for my mental health, and way less likely to give me an existential crisis. #treehugger #mentalhealthmatters #optoutside
