Happy National Library Week!

Happy #InternationalBatAppreciationDay ! Some Bats eat gazillion pesky bugs like mosquitos overnight.
Here's my greyscale #illustration of a bat with a key.

Every green leaf calls me into the forest 🍃💚

Books are tiny windows that open up to new and exciting worlds.

After reading WORM MAKES A SANDWICH I am very much inspired to start a compost bin, especially with the warm weather coming. I think it would do wonders for my plants. Any advice on such things?
