Happy New Year from Seattle! 🥳

Even after 18 months in Seattle, I’m still surprised to see plants show off in every season. Here’s today’s dog-walk-photo-bouquet on the very cusp of a new year.

May we all bloom where we’re planted in the year ahead. Happy New Year. 🎆

Anyone else getting super random followers? Hot tip: if your bio is the same as the person who also just followed me, I probably won’t be following back 🙃

Sending out wishes of joy and peace this Christmas and Hanukkah, whatever we might celebrate. ✨Also, hi from the two turtle dogs. 🐶 We’re in Minnesota with family, where the temps have been cold but merciful. ⛄️

On Sunday, the #5amWritersClub had its online holiday party at 7pm eastern—so, yay, we left-coasters could make it. How fun to see the gang and ponder things like yacht (or nacht) rock. 😄

To cap this busy work week, we have a cookie party! I made pumpkin cookies and couldn’t find the pumpkin spice. So I ran to buy…what was in the other drawer. 🙄 Then, my groceries fell out of the car (…🍎…🍊…🧅) and I couldn’t find the pumpkin spice I just bought.

It was under the tire, waiting for me.

A bucket list trip for my sis surviving cancer, we floated around the Virgin Islands as a way of Thanksgiving. :)

It took 19 hours, but we made it from Seattle to NJ (there’s Liberty!) to Tortola. It will be so nice to unplug and unwind.

What I need right now is a vacation from getting ready for vacation. 😂

The bomb cyclone hitting Seattle right now is something else. Branches down everywhere.

Curls versus edges, the Seattle hedge-game is so strong.
