The American Goldfinches have rediscovered our front-yard feeder! Also, the Robins (after a two-year absence) are nesting again on our front-porch light fixture.
We're close enough to Main Street that traffic noise is pretty steady, so it's important to me that we've also got as much bird song as we can scare up. And anyway, the American Goldfinch is just _pretty_. #birding

When I teach martial arts to school-aged children, I love giving them a place where they're expected to yell and hit. But even by kindergarten, many girls have been taught that they must never yell, and they don't want to. It's a little heartbreaking that they've been silenced so effectively already. But it's also hugely rewarding to work with them over time, until they are eager to YELL, hit, kick, and defend their bodies.
