There’s a dumb bunny in my backyard and a snoozing dachshund in the screen porch next to me. I’m being very low key about this situation so the bunny doesn’t end up mauled.

Back from my travels to @boskone.bsky.social and NYC. It was a frozen 🥶 yet fun visit and I saw more art by my son @the_micah and his wife, @wifenyc. Here are some proud mama photos;

My little plum tree is ready for #TuBShevat, the New Year of the Trees. She’ll look lovely under tonight’s full moon. As a public service reminder, it’s two Jewish months until the first Seder. Start panicking now and avoid the rush. #Jewsky

#Hanukkah 🕎 day five: we’re increasing the light we share as we move to the darkest night of the year when the sun sets early and there’s no moon. חנוכה שמח

I just completed the ritual "pour boiling water over the chanukiyah (menora) to remove last year's wax" ritual. May your latkes be crisp and your sufganiyot light and fluffy! #Chanukah Sameach!

And I still want a chanukiyah showing Judith holding a sword in one hand and the bloody head of Holofernes in the other hand, portraying the true spirit of #Chanukah!

One of my favorite causes is Beit Ruth in Israel. They get young women off the streets and into a therapeutic village, where they have shelter, educational opportunities, counseling & a supportive community offering You can learn more at www.beitruth.com

Saw a review today of THE BRIDE AND THE BUCCANEER: “Sex book. Not too graphic.” Dang, I thought I made it plenty graphic! #goals

It’s a perfect spring day in North Florida. I can’t believe I’m leaving this for #Boskone61, but I know I’ll enjoy seeing my fannish friends in Boston.

Today is #TuBShevat, aka The New Year of the Trees, aka Jewish Arbor Day. All over Israel (and in other warm locales) trees are being planted for the future. My purple magnolia isn’t quite ready for prime time, but it’s full of buds waiting to burst out. Happy New Year, trees!🌳🌺

Saw this pretty birdie while I took my daily walk. I’m guessing she’s a red-shouldered hawk, and she’s perched on a dead tree trunk our neighbors left standing to boost the local ecosystem. Bats, woodpeckers, birds that nest in cavities, all benefit from dead trees.
