a year ago beams released "requiem for a planet", recorded in this 200 year old barn at the base of the shawangunk mountains in new paltz, NY. it is a magical place - inspiring, transcendent of time. i hope that the album itself is also that.

i've noticed that babies are a little like chainsaws, in that they get loud and crazy when they're running on fumes and then they... go to sleep 💤🪵

somehow we've gotta find a way to be like that little tree.

sometimes it feels kinda comforting to have someone sit too close on the ttc, like when my cats who hated each other when awake would lean against each other while sleeping

what's the difference between caregiving and caretaking?

the incredible shrinking shadow! a few years ago, mike and i went to see our producer's band pelican movement play at the widow jane mine in rosendale NY. it was a hyper-sensory experience for me, and on one of my walks to go take a break, i was amused by this. #shadowplay #widowjanemine

i think this is a pond cypress at the cave hill cemetery and arboretum in louisville. did you know that louisville is MUCH more populated than cincinnati? i didn't. also, i seem to recall that this tree was surrounded by scary geese

once upon a time i got to dog-sit my friend's german shepherd for a week on her property up north and i saw a lot of beautiful things!

francis hung out with his pal elio today and they laid the foundation for their life as grumpy old men. they stared out the window together, got hangry, took big poops and then passed out. classic!

mike standing amongst the superabundant sea grape on the coast of puerto rico. apparently sea grapes are edible. can you live on grapes alone? i used to know a few people who would try, at least in the liquid form

getting a full-ish night's sleep is great, but i forgot that it also creates more time for nightmares 🫥

a lot of folks have been asking if i'm enjoying motherhood. what a question! what's "enjoying" mean? is that even relevant? i'm not mad. it's just that the english language lacks depth or nuance for some things

lil bigsy aka francis birch is 3 months old today... what a ride 🥹

dec 2019. when i was younger, & i went somewhere beautiful, i always thought "i'll have to come back here often." now that i realize that everywhere i go is beautiful, and there's just no time or money to revisit most places, i try to celebrate the once-in-a-lifetime experiences for what they are
