Forest sledding definitely helps get through a rough bout of February.

White and black and grey-blue, and then these red gems of dried sumac. Good winter walk today.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

When darkness is actually pretty... We return home from our pre-dawn dog walk.

I'm watching some of the artists and small business owners I follow.migrate here bit by bit. It's work, a rebuild. So support art makers with your business, a shout out, gratitude for the community they build. Particularly now.

I thought we were aging, but by 9:00, the dog is actively campaigning for last walk and bedtime snuggles. He's making it worse, this off-switch aging thing.

From a walk just after the holidays (and a week of illness for me). A hike up a south facing hill, coats off, blue sky.

My studio is slowly waking up from it’s January slumber. I’m hoping to have new work available by the end of January. ❤️

For small businesses and makers, the socials can be very time consuming but necessary. Starting over on new platforms more so. Support the growers and writers and makers you love! ❤️
Hi! It's a very weird time to have a small business that relies on these virtual spaces for visibility.

I did not buy the cookbooks. I did capture them for later... Hot Sheet is right up there with "Tarts with Tops on" that I found in London years ago. Looking for little lights this week. Cookbooks, caretaking, smart-ass humor. ❤️

Making comfort food lists today because I'm not ready to make seed lists... Ham and gruyere melts on sourdough with apple Calvados jam. Pulled pork enchiladas with mole sauce. A garlicky orzo with chicken meatballs and sundried tomatoes. We'll start there...

Puddle of dog in a pool of sun. How to do January.

A 5:45am dog walk - freezing, but good stuff.

There's water chuckling under there. Travelling at speed, doing it's own good thing. Waiting for spring.

i mocked my child in a goofy voice, like "oohh i'm eight and i have to go to school tomorrow" and he replied--instantly, without a second's pause for the years i've spent raising him, feeding and clothing him etc-- "i'm mama and i have a small but not invisible mustache"

Playing around with the hue, saturation and whatnot of the Procreate file I made the page in and making it pretty much inked in no time. I still wanna fix up some areas here and there but largely I'm happy with the overall tone this conveys and that's really the main point of the short.

Like me, waiting for better growing conditions. Saving seeds, waiting out darker days.
