@dmcampbellwsu.bsky.social Thinking of you while visiting a certain author’s residence in Lenox, MA!
Edith Wharton’s library at The Mount features a writing desk with two lamps, an ornate rug, and dark built-ins filled with books.

Finished my first half marathon today!

1) I finished, which was the goal
2) I really struggled at the end, and didn’t feel very good, so that’s disappointing
3) there were aspects of the race that made things challenging
4) I’m proud of myself for finishing :)

One of us has the right idea going into 2025.
A small black, brown, and white dog with floppy ears and his eyes shut tight sits on a woman’s lap. The woman has brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses with thick brown frames.

Feel like this media haul pretty much sums me up. My husband gets me. Hard copies of the Murderbot series, blu-ray of The Fifth Element, and a 1st edition of The Poetry of Flowers (1848) by Frances Osgood.
The covers of the Murderbot book series, the Fifth Element blu-ray, and title page of a book called The Poetry of Flowers. Two pages from The Poetry of Flowers with illustrations. Verso is a pink rose with green leaves and tendrils. Recto id a white urn with a garland of white, yellow, blue, pink, and orange flowers and green tendrils.

Early morning garden things.
A huge orange flower on a pumpkin plant surrounded by plants with lacy green leaves. A stone lion planter brimming with light and dark green foliage. A flowering dahlia in the foreground and several tomato plants in the background.

Caved to the pressure of an Instagram ad for the first time ever and bought this shirt. I think it was worth it.
A tshirt featuring a flaming skeleton in front a a computer with the words “I hope this email finds you well.”

Watching the kittens.
A small black dog with a white-tipped tail peers out window blinds to stare at kittens outside.
