My pup at Shakespeare in the Park. She was not afraid of the lion, perhaps due to the mechanicals’ prologue??

Delightful surprise in the middle of a small evergreen tree in my yard. The natural world continues despite the hellscape many of us witness on the daily
Bonus points for the type of bird who laid the eggs??

Quiet day at home filled with #writing, lifting, meal planning, and hanging with the fam. I saw a new juice product on the shelf that made me smile. My uncle Matt was my mom’s older brother. He had a kind heart and the longest memory of just about anyone I know. He died two years ago
Orange juice bottles on a grocery store shelf. One in the forefront is Uncle Matt’s Organic Ultimate Defense with orange, pineapple, and ginger. It retails for $7.99 so I left it on the shelf!
