It’s a great day to work in the breezeway. Normally I would be concerned that it’s warmer than it should be this time of year, but today I am grateful. I was craving sun and warmth desperately.

This little cairn standing by my garage door puts a smile on my face. @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.social stacked it to look like a Japanese lantern. My tendency to anthropomorphize thinks it needs a name, a Japanese name. It has so much personality. How are you finding joy these days?
