Some of the 150 books that we've sent to ships on deployment, including USS STOUT (DDG 55), USS WASP LHD 1, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) and USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75).
Shoutout to the Chaplain on USS Stout who collected requests for books from the Sailors!

Best thing in the past few months. What began as a side project of sending books to sailors on deployment is turning into a much bigger project through collaboration with #ProjectPaperback and #USO.

Rotherham, England decided to stop mowing miles of roadside grass over and over again, and replaced long stretches with wildflowers 🌺🪻🌼
The result became known as a “River of Flowers.”
Eight miles of colour, that turned into habitat for bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators.

Every morning this week these ducks have joined in the lap swim at our local pool! They keep in their lane, although they may stop for a quick splash along the way! 🦆🦆
