I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can preorder Forever stamps on the United States Postal Service website that feature illustrations from the 1947 children's book, Goodnight Moon! They go on sale May 2, and they look so cozy. 😭

A sheet of perforated postage stamps that feature multiple design images from the 1947 illustrated children's book, Goodnight Moon. The designs mostly consist of a green, red, yellow, and blue color palette, and they depict cartoon scenes like an anthropomorphized rabbit sitting in a rocking chair with knitting needles, a small fireplace, and a bedside table with lamp and a bowl of porridge resting on top.

Today’s featured creature: the Matschie’s tree kangaroo! As their name suggests, these adorable and endangered little guys spend most of their time high up in the rainforest trees of northeastern Papua New Guinea, snacking on yummy stuff like leaves, flowers, nuts, and bugs!
A Matschie’s tree kangaroo is a small, fuzzy animal that vaguely resembles a bear. It has brown and tan fur, rounded ears, and a pink nose. One is pictured here looking at the camera from behind a leafy tree branch. A Matschie’s tree kangaroo is a small, fuzzy animal that vaguely resembles a bear.

Today’s Good Thing is Maxwell holding my hand while he lounges in my lap.

Happy Caturday to kittens everywhere and all of us who love them!

My cat Maxwell and I created a rather unconventional artwork yesterday. He had been biting holes in a scrap of paper, so I decided to tear it into pieces to highlight his little teeth marks and arrange the pieces on some cardboard.

Collaborative abstract collage!

I wholeheartedly recommend drinking your preferred morning beverage out of something beautiful.

Mount Tahoma as seen through the lens of my film camera on my flight into Seattle in August.
A slightly grainy image of Mount Tahoma, a large, snow-capped mountain (seen from the window of a plane) towering against a clear blue sky.
