Have been working toward a goal of 37,000 words for my novel and just blasted through it.

I think one of the reasons it's hard to write a novel is that, even if I'm focused on a single scene, I am holding connections in my mind to so much more material that it can feel like I have 50-100 pages in my brain at once. Does that make sense?

Secret Cat Forest. Also. If you want a tabletop game you can play solitaire, A Gentle Rain: Bloom Edition is really lovely. By @incredibledream.bsky.social

Eerie to find bits of a July 20, 1940 Christian Science Monitor newspaper when I was cleaning our old cabin. Hitler is alive and pardoning Belgian prisoners.

My bluebirds are back! This is the box they nested in last year!

I did not get this chameleon today but I thought about it. 🤔

Rediscovering my jewelry: beaded porcupine quill earrings from 1992 or 93. They are so light and lovely to wear.
And yes, I'm old enough to have my own vintage!

My favorite star quilt. All the background fabric is turquoise.

The first chunk of pages of my new novel tacked up on closet doors. One of hardest things for me is keeping the whole of a novel in mind as I am working in it. Thought I'd try this for some perspective.

Some of the beads in this box have been around for 40 years. I still like poking through them. Sometimes I add a few beads, sometimes I take beads to use in projects.

Mr. Buddy snoozing peacefully until I snuck up with my camera. First of many snow drifts outside. Overwintering my star jasmine.

1970s tin of family recipes I saved when I cleaned out my family's house. I will be making Old Welsh Cookies on a griddle this coming week, but I'll substitute Crisco for lard. They feature currants and nutmeg. My favorite cookie.

Red cross shield bug from this summer. A favorite. I don't feel clever these days but I do pay attention.
