This PSA and natural history note brought to you b

This PSA and natural history note brought to you by the American shrew-mole (Neurotrichus gibbsii).
.
Besides just in our backyard, these long-nosed and long-whiskered critters live in damp forests from coastal central California north to southwestern British Columbia. They are considered the least highly derived of the moles because all other species have adapted to live in subterranean or aquatic environments.
.
While the American shrew-mole does dig and burrow, they rarely tunnel very deep. They can often be found in the duff layer above ground hunting for worms, snails, and insects.

Can’t tell you how happy we were that our favorite show was back on tonight. 🌅
.
Realizing we’ve been ridiculously lucky with our air quality here on the north coast. Will not be taking breathing clean, fresh air for granted again.
.
Much love to all who did not get to see the sun (or sunset) today, and who are feeling the stress and anguish of fire and smoke. ❤️

How To #ConjureRain . To manifest something, you m

How To #ConjureRain
.
To manifest something, you must feel like you already have it. That it is happening.
It is not enough to Wish for Rain.
We must CONJURE Rain:
.
I invite you to hear the wind stir.
See it lift the alder leaves, showing you their underbellies. A flurry of last year’s spent redwood needles shaken from their branches.
.
Feel a cool raindrop fall on your shoulder, your forehead, your eyelashes.
.
As drops fall more quickly your upturned palm is collecting a sip.
Taste it.
.
Inhale the distinct scent of moisture returning to pavement. To hardened earth. To dusty stone paths now washed shiny new and brightly colored. Dingy ferns rinsed fresh.
.
As the clouds above let go, feel your instinct return to look upward and also be rinsed fresh.
.
With an uptick in the deluge hear gutters overflowing, thirsty plants drinking, moss springing back to life.
.
Water. Vital water.
Clinging to spider webs.
Filling the mug you forgot on the porch.
Dripping from the tip of your nose.
Quenching fires and replenishing rivers.
Pooling in puddles asking to be jumped in with both feet.
And so, with a muddy splash, you do just that.
.
(Please, let’s #conjurerain and add a good dose of water remembrance to our feeds. It will not be long until our rains return, but can they please hurry up already!?!)
.
What does the return of rain feel like for you?
What does it look like?
Can you remember?
Please share.
