Mary Oliver is the gold standard for nature writing and poetry. Such a lovely collection. #naturewriting #poetry #essays

I'm not a big poetry person but I really like Mary Oliver. Her simple reflections about nature are so beautiful. Her works always make me feel like taking a walk in the woods.

DebbieGrillo I love Oliver too! 6y

Relaxing after a long day! Drinking some sinus tea to hopefully stave off a cold my little first graders have shared.

This is for @vivastory ! We saw some beautiful rescued animals, including Florida panthers, black bears, and OWLS today at the local wildlife sanctuary. I couldn't get a photo to do them justice, but we also got to see a very cute Pygmy owl who thought he was a human because he had been raised (poorly) as a family pet. PSA: Don't feed or capture your local wildlife!

vivastory Looks like you guys had a great time! That's a really smart idea for an outing. Probably a lot less stress than a visit to the zoo. 7y
saresmoore @vivastory So much less stress. And the volunteers are all knowledgeable and amiable. I appreciate that the animals are rescued & rehabilitated whenever possible. 7y

saresmoore @MicheleinPhilly @LeahBergen They had so much fun, knew all the answers during the wildlife presentation, and lingered in the gift shop over the books. I think my work here is done. 7y
