It is said that a photograph says a thousand words. I am renewing my resolve to take one photo per day for an approximate total of 365,000 unspoken words.

Future Rangers

Fifty-four
Today we welcomed high school students who participate in the Youth Options program through an orientation session.  It tested my knowledge base and really afforded me the opportunity to use my customer service skills.  I'm grateful to be a part of my work team.

I harvested my very first ripened Juliette plum tomatoes tonight.  They're divine.

Catch 'em!

What a great day.  Today, we welcomed 80+ Pokemon Go trainers to UWP for the #ParksideGo Pokemon meetup I coordinated.  It was a wild success!

Work it!

Fifty-one
This guy works SO hard.  He does so much more than put in his due from 8-4:30.  He often works late nights and weekends for the benefit of his staff, his department, and his students.  In my view, he's an unsung hero.

Black Lives Matter

Fifty
I had the great pleasure of hosting a Black Lives Matter conversation today.  It was very powerful and empowering.  There's still much to be done, but it was a positive start and conversation opener.  In the evening, Scott and I went to Country Fest's pork dinner at my church and then Atwood Fest to enjoy some live music.  It was an all-star day.

A rocky bird-day

Forty-nine
Today was a special little lady's special birthday.  I pulled over to attempt to connect with her over FaceTime (to no avail), and this rural majesty was out my window.  When I finally did connect with KammyBird, she was NOT about to have me sing to her when I asked if I could sing her a special song.  "Can we just TALK?!" was her retort.  On another note, went to see the latest Bourne movie tonight and it was TERRIBLE!

The other-other white meat

I got home from work today and found this lovely family of turkey-birds in my backyard!
Gobble gobble!
