0:05.6	Today, we're taking a day off from the geeky side of gardening for very good reason.
0:10.5	Today is a day to sit back, relax, and take in all the goodness that you are about to hear from Joanna Bricketto.
0:17.6	A Tennessee Naturalist, an author of a brand new book, This Is How Robin Drinks, Essays on Urban Nature.
0:24.7	I first learned about this book through an Instagram post from two-time podcast guest Margaret Rinkle.
0:31.4	Many of you know her from this podcast and or as a New York Times best-selling author for the comfort of Crows or her New York Times
