Nature Connection with Rebecca: Letters of Wonder from My Ecosystem to Yours π September 6, 02026 Dear friends, The three main βlanguagesβ of nature journaling are Words, Pictures, and Numbers. Itβs good to use all three because they help your brain pay attention to what youβre observing in different ways. That way, you can notice more about what is beautiful and what makes you curious.

Nature Connection with Rebecca: Letters of Wonder from My Ecosystem to Yours π October 10, 02026 π New Moon Dear friends, Today I have a Book Review to share with you. Lonesome for Wilderness: Tracking and Trailing in Forest, Desert, or Your Own Back Yard by Linda Jo Hunter A while ago I got curious about animal tracking, so I ordered a bunch of books on the topic from the library.
