On a happier note, here is Astrid’s impromptu photo shoot when we were @dawesarboretum with Karl’s mom https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5GMkzByBt/?igshid=17s68941uauc4

I seem to encounter a lot of wildlife in distress at my new job. Hopefully I’m being actually helpful 🤞🏻 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx4uCMGBPu_/?igshid=w5j9nqbmu8kf

Karl looking smug after he realized that instead of me digging holes to sink the corner posts into the ground he could just jump on the bed and it sunk into the ground. More rain today and tomorrow so hopefully we’ll be able to do that until I get all the beds built. Way faster. #gardenbeds #ToriandKarl #diygardenbeds #thankfulforrain #garden2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_OiVUnuM1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uj21ox9i95h4

When I was little a friend of my Dad’s told me that the moon being out during the date meant you had to howl at it, because that’s what wolves did. I always smile when I see the moon during the day and try to think of it as good luck 🌚 #daymoon #moonintheday #throwbackstory #luckyday https://www.instagram.com/p/BtED50enN6y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dcd001rueqwc
