Happy Vernal Equinox and Blessed Ostra you gorgeous souls. Look who came out to greet the first day of the season! So happy to see their little faces!

I picked up #wendydarling by A. C. Wise at a pop up book event. It's Wendy from Peter Pan as an adult! It addresses so many of the questions and things I always found disquieting about Peter Pan. Plus, you see Neverland with new eyes. Which is amazing!

So slow in sharing this publication with Zoetic Press in their Heathentide Orphan publication. I love the title. I'm so happy they accepted my short story Stars. I can't express how happy I am that this is our in the world.

The household had a tough week and Pan spent it taking care of us. She earned a good nap and time to recharge her batteries.

I loved Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward so much that I was nervous to read another book by her. I was worried it could match that same level in my mind. But I happily was wrong and I loved Let Us Descend. Ward is lyrical and powerful. Must read .

I miss sharing books I'm reading. This was a Christmas gift from my MIL. What a thoughtful and interesting choice. Zadie Smith wrote this collection of essays from inside the early days of the pandemic in NYC. Powerful little pops.

Before the latest snow and ice I found this perfect paw print on the steps.

Pan is sending loving, floofy vibes to you. Sometimes her fluff gets in the way of her seeing, but she feels all your beauty and amazingness.

I'm a little slow at sharing this. I'm wicked proud of this story "Lucky Stones." It was inspired by the great Lydia Davis. I used the 1955 "The Good Wife's Guide" from Housekeeping Monthly. Sunspot Literary Journal selected it as Best of Fiction for its Goldilocks Zone 2024.

Winter is a drama queen. Long shadows, interesting icicles, ice sheets breaking, and animal tracks.

Take time to appreciate the beauty in the imperfect, different, and dissimilar. Appreciate all it has to offer. Find value. Let it expand your mind and soul.

Some plant textures to tickle your brain. It's important to find pleasure in the little moments.

In the middle of feeling the weight of this moment and the mid-winter blahs, it's important to care for your brain. We take a trip out to the Smith College Botanical Garden around this time every year and it feeds me just the right nutrition. That cactus looks like it has the worst bed head!

We went to see the McKrell's at The Egg last night for their holiday show. We even got to sing along, which I love. Wonderful group playing and attending.

Merry Christmas 🎄 to me indeed! Listening to one of my favorite Bob's Burgers songs while breaking in my new mortar and pestle and making gifts. Yes!

It's always a good day hanging with these amazing people. What I learned this year at the stroll... Always follow up with tacos! Sometimes there is no cocoa, only Zuul. Bring a pen. And last but not least, hot chocolate stroll = long winters nap. Cheers!

Over the past five years I have watched this go from fresh scratch marks to scared over. If you didn't know they were there, it would be so easy to miss them.

I've been watching this structure grow for years and with it the water rising in this marsh. There are trails from the huge tails, slides on the side in the snow, breaks on the ice where they're swimming, and fresh wood chips from where they're working on cutting down new trees. #beaver #nature

Some photos from our walk yesterday. So many tracks were in the snow going in and out of the marsh. A variety of birds including some turkeys that survived Thanksgiving, big cats, small cats, deer, dogs, beaver trails, rabbits, and squirrels. It was pretty darn nice.
