Happy publication day to @catherinesimpsonwriter and Sandwiched 🎉

What do you do when your ninety-five-year-old father needs you at exactly the same moment your adult daughter is plunged into crisis?

Relatable, deeply moving and surprisingly funny, this is a page-turning story of family in all its glorious chaos – and a reminder that even after the darkest times, there can still be a time to dance.

August 21st
Jays pluck ripe raspberries

Using a fence rail for stability, a jay leans forward to pluck the glowing red fruits in its strong black beak. Wild raspberries (Rubus idaeus) are smaller than garden varieties and are made up of a cluster of drupelets, each containing a seed. Birds spread the seeds far and wide through their droppings, and raspberries are plentiful, giving food for birds and mammals or, especially when the fruits are overripe, butterflies. The canes are softly prickly with red thorns. Female deer eat wild raspberry leaves, which gave the plant the old Scots name of hindberry.

From Nature's Almanac: A Gift for Every Day of the Year by Susie White
