Hot tea

Espalier, but I personally am doing a Belgian fence with my apples. Only second year so I’m about to start trellising them. www.growables.org/information/...

I was offered college honors calculus and also got an A in college trigonometry, but god damn I’m rusty after 20 years and my kid’s 7th grade homework is kicking my ass.

❤️ those shoes.

Socks. All of the time (except in the shower, obviously). Which is weird because I was definitely barefoot as much as humanly possible when I was a kid.

“Due” not “do”. Ugh.

Fantasy (high fantasy, historical fantasy, some romantasy), historical fiction, some sci-fi, speculative fiction. For nonfiction, I like books on history (particularly medieval Europe), linguistics, and art.

If it’s pretty, I keep it on my shelf. If not, I give it away. Do to money, I mostly read library books or ebooks. I only buy the physical copy if I loved it. Sometimes I’ll buy second hand books before I’ve read them because they are only a dollar or two and no great loss if I don’t like them.

I want to build up my feed here with interesting people’s posts. So let me know what cool people I need to follow!

Reading Tolkien. I went from reading LOTR, to linguistics, to medieval history (specifically the 12th & 13th centuries). I ended up getting my B.A. in Greek and Latin classics (mostly for the Latin). Sadly I never made it to graduate school to do medieval history as I’d planned.

Aww! My tuxedo cat has the same spot on her chin.

My whole house has a witchy cottage vibe.

No, he’s not real. He’s a rather fabulous Halloween decoration that I got a few years ago (at Michael’s, I think).

Kvothe the Raven (never more).

It was a chilly, rainy evening, so it was the perfect day for one of my favorite meals: Sage and marmalade pork chop, with garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed Brussels sprouts.

Obligatory cat photo, a fitting first post. I’m not together enough to consistently post on multiple platforms, so I’ll probably be sporadic here until the former bird app becomes unusable. But so far this place seems pretty nice.
