Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
She's back! The Everything Everywhere All at Once Bush has Awakened to another year.
"It's Spring - will you make me a bud that blooms in Summer and slowly grows into a green berry that darkens in colour through Summer to Autumn and will your colour gently fade in Winter. Like the other bushes do. Will you do all this?"
She says No, "I'll do it ALL. Always and forever. Everything. Everywhere. All at once"

----------Robin Update-------
No mom sightings and no nest sounds since Saturday evening. The nest is still in place, and I leave it all to be whatever it is.
The waves rise
The waves form
Peaks and foam
Amidst the storm
A family festival
A hearty swarm
Arising
Falling
In dramatic form
And when they disappear
The ocean won't mourn
