This book is written well. I guess it just did not hold my interest as much as I would have liked. The idea was good but in my opinion I would like more description of the wildlife. It has short chapters so it was easy to pick up and read during short breaks.
A beautiful collection of 52 essays, one for each week of the year (and beautifully illustrated by the author’s brother).
This book was a much needed reminder that beauty is literally right outside my front door, if I would be slow and awake enough to see it.
I love this, because I’d also add that this mindfulness leads to a groundedness that allows me to better engage in the larger world, with all of its other stuff, its hard and its sorrows, which can’t be ignored.

It's Annie Dillard for the Colleen Hoover crowd. A naturalist musing poetically over the changes in a year of her suburban oasis. Loved the artwork by the author's brother, Billy Renkl.
I thought is was going to be religious when I started it and thought it would be too much for me, but it is more spiritual than religious. It is about the vanishing beauty of the natural world in our backyards. It is poetry in the form of prose. Really lovely meditations. Audiobook narrated by the author. Deepest southern accent in the world. A+

I found this one a little lacking (and missing entirely more crows than the title leads you to believe), but I realized near the end that I was reading similar thoughts, feelings, and concerns to myself (someone who spends a lot of time observing Nature.) So I would recommend this lightly to Nature lovers, but heavily to people that want to learn to love Nature more.
This one was not for me. Author came off as pretentious, and better than everyone else. Lots of descriptions of nature outside, I'd rather go hike myself.
intriguing format and beautiful descriptions. loved this on audiobook.
