    A large blue heron, eagles crying, visiting ducks, osprey calling. We unbind weeds from rushes, Pacific ninebark, sedges. Clumps of reed canarygrass tugged out of the mud, bindweed roots surgically removed, joy. And then joy and more joy. Thank you.

    Black belt, small snake. Native flowers transferred from your yard. Cardboard for days. Knotweed seeds preemptively taken out of circulation, blackberry canes cut, root balls ferreted out. I am so glad you have found me here.

    Curious ducks saying hello. Mediative reed canary grass pulling. Moving to the shade. A heron and geese. Everything in bloom.

    Field trip to ƛ̕ ax̌ʷadis (Tl’ awh-ah-dees) Park. KBA, Inc came back to see the park they helped through construction. Dear friends from Molina came to pitch in again. And as always, you were there. It was hot, there were mosquitos. We stayed in the shade, took breaks. Looked for Himalayan blackberry hiding in the salmonberry, learned bird’s-foot trefoil, avoided nettles. Talked about salmon, who are coming home very soon, talked about the relationship between plants and fish, talked about the degradation Euro-American settlement has brought to this land.

"We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations."
― Pope John Paul II

“Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
