I'll be at the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge

 all weekend with Migration Celebration,

a huge outdoor activity event.

In years past, I've done face painting

and I've worked in the butterfly tent.

I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:

Good Thing #1:

I read for 16 out of the 24 hours at

the readathon last weekend.

I finished a total of 9 books.

Good Thing #2:

My husband and I learned about pollinators and

plants at UTMB's OLLI's Gardening Symposium last week.

Good Thing #3:

I won three ribbons for my nature photographs

at Migration Celebration.
