It got very pretty in my backyard overnight. ❄️

Happy catch up on laundry day to all who celebrate!

We had our first fire in the fire pit in our new home! Hot toddies, pizza, and the traditional burning of Amazon boxes. It’s starting to feel like home!

It’s important to match your home decor to your pets.

It’s officially official—we closed on the Louisville house!

One week in Louisville and no, we haven’t registered the cars yet or gotten our drivers’ licenses but by God, we have our library cards and dogs licensed so that makes us official, right?

And then once they got me talking, I couldn’t stop so there’s also a part 2!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyxL...

I did a thing with long-time writer pals, Nic & Cath! If you know me, you know how cringey I get about being on video but I did it for love ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo92...

Join Kathleen Driskell, Chair of the Naslund-Mann Graduate School of Writing, & Karen Mann, co-founder of the Spalding MFA program, for a free, hourlong session to discuss the considerations. You'll meet on Zoom, Wednesday, May 14, at noon Eastern / 9 a.m. Pacific. Register now! buff.ly/6J1BujF

On Wed., we accepted an offer on our house. Yesterday, our offer on a new (to us) house was accepted. We’re moving to Louisville! (Probably in early July)

Returning home after a lovely couple of days in DC. Enjoyed the cool weather and the warm people ❤️

You know you’ve reached a certain age when the ubiquitous song* at your high school dances is blasting at the kiddy carnival.

*Push It

I did it. After 20 yrs and 5 days on FB, I deleted my account. (Of course I archived & downloaded 1st) Been feeling like I should leave for 10 of those years. Thought I might be sad but what I mostly feel is relieved. So hello, Blue Sky friends, after my Meta-purge, you’re my only social media now!

What a fun time hanging out with @kimmiddleton.bsky.social talking about my favorite book of all time!
