It feels like May is the last month the heat is reasonably tolerable until we hit September. But right before June flares up, masses of itchy little black bugs come out in full force. I’m not looking forward to that! The smell of citronella is preferable to being bit all over, but ideally, I wouldn’t have to deal with either.

While I haven’t been able to show up in public the way I’d like lately, I’m grateful I have a private life that supports and looks out for me.

One of my favorite things I’ve experienced lately is a talk about trees at the McAllen Public Library. It really shifted my perception in how I view them, and deepened my love. The circumstances in the Valley are not perfect, but they cling to life with everything they’ve got. In this way, we are like trees.

How was your winter? Privately and publicly, I feel like mine was productive. I tried a lot of new things, and had the space to remember old ones. Now, the goal is to solidify and refine exactly what I’m aiming for, so I can do some cool things before it’s too hot to walk around. This pocket of time of precious, so I will do my best to enjoy it fully.

On this Thursday, I decided to start working on my website. I’m excited to see what it will bring!

That said, it’s a little chilly out, isn’t it? While the cold brings its own problems, the change is welcome. I’m looking forward to outdoor events in the coming season.
