Today’s find: Provisioning
Covid-19 claimed another piece of normalcy today, and I felt the reverberations in my “lizard brain.”

Today’s find: Struggle
Springtime seems to be struggling a bit. It’s not catching on, not quite yet, in our part of the country.
But if you look closely, you can find the barest hint of the spectacle to come.
