Fairy shrimp also reside in vernal pools. For more information and for a great read, check out Barbara Hurd’s fantastic book The Epilogues: Afterwords on the Planet. Can’t praise it enough!

I have now added looking for tadpool puddles to my walking routine. Thanks!

I read this to Alex and inspired us both to think about walking to a stream. We’re still on our screens, listening to cicadas and YouTube and I am already in my swimsuit again, like yesterday, looking forward to our surfing practice at the pool. It hasn’t yet been too hot to walk up there and check the mail too, but humidity is stretching my patience. I do love how liquid time feels here too. July is the best month.

Hurrah for the Tadpole rescue society! I can’t wait to rescue some tadpoles with my 15-month-old grandson next spring/early summer—he’ll be navigating well on two legs by then.
