A beautiful day at #edenmillswritersfestival.

Highlights: a tent caterpillar admiring my URP tote, new (to me!) books, beautiful local yarn, & fresh dahlias

Spending my Sunday at the Eden Mills Writers Festival listening to possibilities of Navigating Environmental Futures with Holly Hogan and Thomas Wharton, hosted by Madhur Anand
