Today is the birthday of a Very Favorite Person of mine - the unbeatable, the adventurous, the caretaking, the painter, the biker, the friend, the dreamer, the laugher, the fire builder, the wisdom giver, the talk it outter, the weird and wonderful @tinyapartmentd (Andrew Brother.) Dude, I love you so much, and I can’t wait for our next in person adventure. #adventurebang #adventurebirthday #bestbrotherever #dengateclub #itsthedengateshow

Even if we can’t dance together, we can still dance *together*. Here’s to Mactír and the wolf pack! (And the lovely dancer, classmate, and doctor @jenkthom for starting us off.) #studiotothestreets #mactiracademyofirishdance #irishdancing @mactiririshdance

”It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.” - Rainier Marie Rilke

A request! Spring is coming, and there are so many plants in our cities to appreciate. Plus we’re all out taking more social-distancing walks than usual! I’m going to make a short video promoting the act of creating colorful little signs to label the plants popping up in sidewalk cracks, trees sprouting buds, or other signs of urban spring in our neighborhoods and around our homes. (Part of the @sidewalkplantlab !) Is anyone willing to make a mini video to send me? You would need to a) find a cool plant thing by your house/apt; b) notice some things things about it; c) decide on a cool name for it based on what you notice; d) make a little sign with its new name; e) put the little sign by the plant; f) capture steps d and e on video and send to me/share on google drive (all while staying six feet away from non-household-members outdoors!) Comment below or send me a DM if you’re interested, and I can share more tips and answer questions!

I hate how far I am from loved people right now (and I don’t just mean the six feet) but I AM really glad that hiking is still allowed. #onlyinmn #gooutside #adventurebang #stcroixriver

Some beautiful and mysterious things found in the springtime woods. (Fungi, baby caddisfly larvae building their first homes, luxurious mosses, new growth, glacial pothole, and that fantastic robin’s egg stone.)

What better way to stay at home than with a CAT PAINTING CHALLENGE?! This is Daphne enjoying some sun. And these are the artistic interpretations of her by @patrickdengate, Drayton, @nikokubota, and myself (plus a bonus photo of Daph at the end.) @heather.ga

Long walks outside are a great way to practice social distancing. It’s a weird time right now, y’all. Thanks for doing what we can to keep all of us safe. #mississippiriver #minneapolis #openspaces #gooutside
