I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects. View more posts

I can’t believe we have snow at the end of May, and yet, here we are.

A hummingbird? Is that snow I see in the feeder, in May?

Yes! Yes! Yes! We’ve had hummingbirds here for about a month and have had a few spring snows since then. This photo was taken yesterday. Colorado at 8200ft

Oh, poor little bird! Did you have to clean off the snow so they could get to it?

The picture was unaltered, it was when I first woke up so the way the snow ‘drifted’ was real. We’ve since cleaned it off.
Yes, it’s amazing how they are both delicate and hearty. We had many of them looking for food the night before the snow and again yesterday.

That’s exactly how I feel. And some of my diehard snow-loving friends have even said, “Enough already!”
