#birdsbugsbranches

After several false starts (4 days of mild torment and displacement 🐭🙅🏻‍♀️😭💣), my WFH program got a real upgrade today. There is a lot to miss about Houston today and everyday, but I'm spending the next few weeks on Hokkanen Road and am so grateful for the space to spread my wings and spend time in one of my favorite places. #mermersseasonofselfcare #birdsbugsbranches #workfromhomeworkfromtheUP (at Ontonagon County, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFBVCNGl9VIfp_ooakaN0UAwgAoJSYrOmzIp400/?igshid=qvgfss9ss2bm

So far vacation has consisted of bird watching, spending time with my parents, sitting on the porch, wandering in nature, and eating yummy food. Today I took a nap in a hammock under our apple trees. Yesterday I found this pretty beetle that has a little heart on its topside. It's a white-spotted Sawyer beetle. Love is all around. 💟🖤 #MIinJuly #birdsbugsbranches #prekmomentsliveforever https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrfnVUl_cHQmwvFzWnh_p5kulBDHPFBAkzxh40/?igshid=yylzly48b05y

Y'ALL. The bird feeder I put in my yard has begun to attract birds! Today's visitors of note: a pair of house finches. ❤️ #birdsbugsbranches #merinboomtown #lookforloveinnature https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPrdJjlyED83Zn1fUUKy6jRs2l9e_WM66bV300/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4syiu4p6p4df

I recently noticed there's a little bird house on the outside of my house. And today I spotted a house sparrow perched on the outside feeding a little bird on the inside. 😍 Brb... I'm going to get a bird feeder & seed. #merinboomtown #lookforloveinnature #birdsbugsbranches https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbySCPFRC8BFVWW27C-7zPkAYisLAGg1PbyZA0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5qx7vjl3uu6q
