Still, it’s been good and necessary. Has given me more time to let my mind rest, be mindfully outside, and read more. (“You know how I feel about doom-scrolling, Carl!”)

But others that are up there are DruidFest (in Ontario, in July), and I would of course be remiss if I didn’t mention Summerland, which my grove runs (in OH, in August).
