So grateful to have this scenery close to home! After yesterday's big rain everything is so green! Also had a special day with family we see less often than we'd like. 🥰 #grownostr #gratitude

Not a fabulous photo... but demonstrates why, if you can, it's helpful to nature to let dead trees stand. There is a Northern Flicker poking its head out of a hole near the top, and I've seen a pair flitting back and forth. It must be a nest! #grownostr #zapathon #birdstr

Fern forest! 😃 They grow up so fast...just a week ago it was all fiddleheads. Idk why ferns make me so happy, but I'll take it! Saw these on a morning trail run in our local park. I like running this path throughout the year and watching all the changes. 😊 #plantstr #runstr #zapathon (Sorry if you're seeing this twice - I forgot #grownostr the first time!)

Looking for book recommendations about the Enlightenment. I feel like lots of people are talking about the decline of Enlightenment values and classical liberal values, and I wish I knew more about that period in history. Any suggestions? #nostrbooks #liberty

I know...it's just a powerline right-of-way. But I love how the morning mist settles in the valley. And look at all those mayapple plants! 😊 #grownostr #runstr #simplepleasures

GM nostriches! Thankful I can frequently start my day with a trot through the woods. Have a good one, everybody! #grownostr #runstr #grateful

For any other newbies like me, if you want to learn more about bitcoin and earn sats in the process, check out the Bitcoin Magazine app, where you can earn sats for reading articles about bitcoin! (Also, how long til my phone stops autocorrecting "sats" into "stats"?? 😆) #learnbtc #bitcoinnewbie #normies

Got maters and peppers in the ground today! 😃 Just our little suburban backyard garden, but it's something! 🌱 Waiting a *little* longer for our direct sow seeds...expecting hard rain this weekend and don't want them to wash away... #grownostr #plantstr #gardening

Taking a risk sharing this here... but I'm feeling adrift and trying to figure out how best to use my limited time on Earth to do something positive and meaningful. I know I've been given so much, and feel a strong pull to use all these gifts for good. Just need to choose a direction to throw my energy where I can actually make a difference. But where, and how? Anybody else in this boat now or in the past? How did you find your way? #grownostr

All the goats were sleeping in the barn, but as soon as we got into their pasture to remove some poison ivy (carefully!), they all came out to see what was going on. (Not my goats; at the educational farm where I volunteer. Kids from the city come out to learn what a farm is. Seems a worthy cause.) #grownostr

🎶 "Here comes Peter Cottontail, hoppin' down the running trail..." 🎵 😁 Spotted on my run this morning. Been seeing more of these guys lately...so cute and bouncy! We also have a lot of 🦊, which I also love seeing, but not so good for the bunnies.... #runstr #wildlife #grownostr

What bird is singing in this clip? Thinking it's a thrush, and given my location, wood thrush seems most likely, but possibly hermit or migrating Swainson's?? Whoever it is, he brought some extra joy to my morning run! #birding #birdID #grownostr
