Real snowflakes photographed in early 1900s! #BeautyBreak
When the name “Snowflake Bentley” is mentioned in Louise Penny‘s newest book, The Black Wolf, one must Google it. Was delighted to see that this first photographer of snowflakes was real and the amazing Maria Popova had written about him: https://www.themarginalian.org/2020/01/19/wilson-bentley-snowflakes/
pickWritten by Rachel Carson and illustrated by Nikki McClure, this book is a gift of genius. I don't think children will appreciate this picture book the way I did. I could see reading it out loud a page or two at a time, but it's heavy with beauty, wonder, and science.
I colored this picture and wrote this #haiku about it.

The social media algorithm delivered this gem (which I missed when it originally aired back in 2009) unto me. It brought me a few minutes of joy, which I‘d love to pass on! 💎
Joseph Gordon-Levitt performs “Make Em Laugh” from Singin‘ in the Rain on SNL. Live! In one take!
I grew up watching this movie with my grandma. Core memories.

pickDigging into the classic for more about courage. No one checks out Polacco books in my library, but I refuse to weed them. I started reading them to the kids to see if I can make them move. We are all curious about the secret ingredient. I'm not brave enough!
I have stacks and stacks of books I brought home from my last trip to Arizona leaving son at his university. I‘m now slowly entering them into my book database. Here are two of the nonfiction books I bought. I swear Arizona is a book lover‘s mecca.

I wasn‘t familiar with the term Pluviophile when I ran across it on TikTok, but I am one. I love a good rainy day & find peace & joy in them. While it was just a couple of small showers this morning, it inspired today‘s haiku. It also works for #WeirdWordWednesday
Morning drizzle falls
Not enough rain to fill my
Pluviophile soul
