3 going. Rooted in hard copy. It’s lovely. Percy Jackson installment as a read aloud with my middle schooler. And on audio, the Assistant to the Villain, but seriously, I’m hating it and might not finish. The narration feels so AI.
The cover of Rooter, showing a folksy drawing of a tree trunk, with fungi, ferns, and woodland creatures encircling it. The cover of The Chalice of the Gods, depicting an ancient golden chalice with drawings of the gods on the side, and a horned serpent and two birds rising up out of its center. The cover of Assistant to the Villain, which is purple with the typography in white as the main focus, with details of evil around it - blades, books about evil, a trapped fairy in a glass jar and a raven holding a wand.

My favorites from the Bainbridge Island Quilt Show today:
A protest quilt made by Liz Litzler from the Bainbridge Island Quilt show. A neutral background on a rectangle shaped quilt with an arc of triangles from brown to green to purple, framing the words “Do Not Obey In Advance.” A square quilt hanging on display at the Bainbridge Island quilt show. A white background with a flower border bottom and sides, featuring a bike comprised of color wheels, and flowers appliquéd all over the frame. A purple pink and orange toned protest quilt at the Bainbridge Island quilt show featuring all the words banned by the government for use in government trainings and publications. A white quilt with bold and bright block arrows of varying colors with dense quilting, at the Bainbridge Island quilt show.

Childhood dream achieved! Went to Cyndi Lauper’s Farewell Tour tonight, and it was so much fun. I love her, love that she hasn’t changed!

I love that you share everyone’s responses. My feed fills with book covers and it makes me happy.
I’m listening to The Enchanted Greenhouse and reading a hard copy of The Ragpicker King.

Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs in hard copy format. And Lies and Weddings by Kevin Kwan in audio format. Running with Scissors is a mess - why was this book so damn popular? Ugh.
An orange toned book cover with a photograph of a boy with a cardboard box over his head. A book cover with a wedding couple standing in front of a stylized volcano with palm trees sprouting out of it.

Picking just 4 pics from a gorgeous day at Salt Creek Recreation center feels impossible. I love day trips in the PNW!
A view over rocks to the foggy, treed shoreline of crescent beach on the Olympic Peninsula. A view of the beginning of crescent beach from the cliffs above. A sea star partially submerged, and severL purple sea urchins, in a tide pools at Salt Creek Recreation area. 2 green anemones in a tide pools, surrounded by mollusks.

A couple weekends ago, encountered this black tailed buck on Hurricane Ridge. Look at that velvet and fluff! 😍 (This format cuts off the snow capped mountain tops, darn!)

First time up Hurricane Ridge today, after the Sequim Lavender festival. Spur of the moment afternoon drive, and what a success!
A black bear climbs up a downed tree trunk. A black tailed deer fawn walks through wildflowers. The sun starting to lower in the horizon over the mountains. A momma black tailed deer and her two fawns walk across a flat green with the olympic mountains in the background.

This face. Ugh this filthy face. I still love it… but I swear…
A guilty dog with a very dirty face, that still looks loveably cute despite the very clear evidence of backyard mischief.

Reading The Secret Garden for the 1st time. I’m in a gardening mood. I swore I read it as a kid… but none of these first chapters about India are ringing a bell at all!
An older cover of the children’s novel, The Secret Garden, showing Mary from the back, surrounded by oversized pink peonies and white cosmos.

One more pic. Homegrown nasturtiums and merlot lettuce for dinner tonight! (With chickpea salad)

Another beautiful day in the PNW. Today we explored Vista Gardens in Bremerton. So gorgeous- the gardens and the view!
A peekaboo view of Tahoma (Mt Ranier) through a canopy of pine above and blooming lavender below. Another view of Tahoma in the distance above the beautifully landscaped gardens. A view of the landscaped hillsides featuring so many shades of green, and copper oblong bell chime sculpture. A water view down the landscaped hillside.

Flowers and bees because the world is rough.
Bright orange flowers with a bumble bee. Bright orange flowers with a bumble bee mid flight. A dark pink poppy with two honey bees tucked inside foraging for pollen.

Oh hi bear. So weird and wild and wonderful to have bears stroll past while I’m sitting on the couch watching them.
I don’t think this city girl will ever get normalized to the kitsap wildlife!

I am a broken record. I love it here in the PNW! Views from the Bainbridge Ferry, and the Seattle Ferry terminal.
A zoomed in view of Tahoma (Mt. Ranier across the Puget Sound) Tho ferries cross the Puget Sound with Tahoma (Mt. Ranier) in the distance. A boat by the pier with the tangerine sunset sky over the mountains in the distance across the Puget Sound. The Seattle Waterfront Skyline at night, with lights reflecting in the water, as seen from the ferry deck as it pulls away from the city.

I still get Trump emails. I open one occasionally to keep tabs on the crazy. Today, the subject line was “I love this photo!” and I naively thought it would be something from the “perade” and I was intrigued… bahahahahahahahahahHahahahahahahah NO.
It’s his damn official photo. What the actual fuck?
A screen shot of the body of the email from Trump, eith an image if his signed portrait in a paperboard folder labeled “trump vance” in gold lettering. The text says “Each one comes in a special commemorative folder too! TODAY might be the last day you can buy one. We are running out of supply.” The subject line of an email from Trump, stating “I love this picture! You just have to see it…”

Timeline cleanse. Mommas and babies. Swoon. Have I mentioned that I love it here in Kitsap with all these sweet black tailed deer?
