I write about backyard poultry, Mennonites, motherhood, infertility, disability, and strange magic. I read omnivorously, favoring dragons and politics.

Say you wanted to give a tree a small thank you gift. Actually, two trees. What would you give them? If it helps, they're magnolias. #bloomscrolling

What's on your #granolamennonite Easter table? #humblebrags only. I'll start! It's too bad these eggs from our backyard chickens, pickled with homegrown beets and plated on my great-grandmother's anniversary dish aren't as dark a beet-colored pink as I had hoped. I will try to do better next year.
Pickled beet eggs and beets on a gold-rimmed egg dish. The eggs are only a little pink.
