I know we’ve been away for a month (did you see the quickie post about Beltane? Check it out here!) so we’ll get right to the goodies! And if you haven't heard episode 233, Eight Pound Puppies, get on that ASAP!

The birds…
International Dawn Chorus Day: A Summer Morning Song (8 Birds to Listen For!) – The UK is so into birds they started a holiday about them!
Nature's Calendar - May – More than birdsong, lots of things to look and listen for. Another site focused on the UK (the site is the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, after all!), but I’m sure it will give you ideas! Also, their gift shop has so many puffins!!!
And the bees…
A sweet video about Amelia’s favorite! Leafcutter Bees are Nice Bees
Bumblebees and Leafcutter Bees from the Missouri Department of Conservation.
The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation – For a deeper dive about pollinators and what we can all do to help them. Maintaining habitats for pollinators is a wonderful way to participate in the interconnectedness of all living things!
Reflect and Journal
To supplement your reflections and journaling this week, take a look at the Temperance card!
Our next episode of Bitchen Boutique won’t have a normal coven meeting in it, but keep an eye out for a tarot reading we’re going to do together to find insight on how things will be going in the world for the rest of the Fire season!
