As much as I regret moving (which is a lot, lol), I will say it is pretty great to be so close to views like this.

Gorgeous weather here this weekend. Spent a good portion of it on a patio drinking frozen peach cider.

If you’re headed to AWP make sure to stop by the @LEspritLit table at the book fair to grab a copy of their retrospective. I have seven watercolours and an essay in it. I’ll also be reading with them at The Last Bookstore on March 29th at 6pm. Come out and say hi!

Stoked to be reading with such an awesome lineup. If you’re heading to AWP this year be sure to stop by The Stowaway Friday night for some lit shenanigans.

I don’t always paint bones and flowers (ok, I mostly paint bones and flowers), but occasionally I paint other stuff.
Here’s a mountain landscape watercolour I did a while ago.

Going to try to keep this account active because I’m seeing a lot of friendly faces. I’m really hoping things take off here. I don’t have anything interesting to post (currently mired in insurance/renovation hell), but I do have pictures of my cat, Edgar Allan Poe, looking suave.

Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, so I dug out my LAST two bottles of homemade wine. I usually make 25 gallons of various fruit wines a year (most is gifted, we don’t drink it all, lol) but I had to leave behind all my beautiful fruit trees/shrubs when we moved. This is truly the last of it. 😢

Because we are insane, we have three cats and two dogs (along with two kids). 14 year old Willow is our resident escape artist. We’re still paying off the vet bill for her reconstruction surgery after her last escape landed her in a fight with a coyote.
