I actually tried to make my bed for once and my dog didn’t want to move, so I tucked her in instead.
A mostly made bed with a colorful patchwork quilt and a grey headboard. A small Yorkie mix dog is tucked in between the blankets and the pillows and leans against a teddy bear.

I had smoked corned beef for the first time and it was amazing!

Saturday morning coffees always set the tone for the rest of the day.

How are you all spending your Saturday?

My dog looks so cozy like this.

In anticipation of Groundhog Day tomorrow, I wanted to share this adorable groundhog I met a few years ago at the Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York.

Hope you all have a good New Year’s!

My Finch, Mittens, is dressed for the occasion.

A screenshot from the Finch app. It is an illustrated bird wearing a purple hat with 2025 on top. It also is wearing a purple penguin sweater, red plaid pants, and penguin slippers. It carries a balloon shaped like the number 3. Its wings and head color are pink.

Merry Christmas! The sweater is a little short on her, but she’s a long dog.
Yorkie-Bichon Frise dog. She is blonde with big pointed ears that stick up. She is wearing a red and white striped sweater with an embroidered Rudolph reindeer on it. She also is wearing a red and white fabric wreath collar that sticks out around her head.

I went to a coffee shop today that had a flight of lattes, so I could try four different flavors at once! This is such a neat idea.

Three of my poems were published recently in the Tiny Moments: Vol. V anthology (Bronze Bird Books). This is one of them, called "Black Bear and the Peach Tree."

Black Bear and the Peach Tree When spring comes, the budding trees remind me of the first season our peach tree bore fruit. Though we were eager to pick them, our parents told us to wait for them to ripen. But before we had the chance, a black bear came one day and ate every single one. Crestfallen, we watched the beast through the dining room window, as he clutched the tree’s thin branches with his soft broad paws. He devoured the fruits whole, their flesh still hard and green, the poison of the small dark stones surely no match for a large black bear.

Here’s my hometown in 3 photos:
Main Street sidewalk and shops covered in snow. Village Restaurant sign with two Christmas wreaths hanging in the front. Tan building with 1773 sign above the front door. White church with steeple surrounded by trees that are red, yellow, and green. (During the fall season)
