Yesterday was a long day of waiting as my childhood home was cleared out “broom-clean” by professionals. When I arrived to walk the empty house, I found an old bestie from 3rd grade had evaded the sweep to wait for me. After all this time.

New critters spicing it up tonight! #yardtheatre

Ellie is enjoying a second puppyhood lately. She is blind and olden and loving it up. xo

🎶 “Hoppin’ down the bunny trail…”
I’ve never seen this happen and always wanted to. Big Bunny seemed to want to grant my wish and Little Bunny was game. Amazing. I love them so.

I look forward to seeing you in an online workshop one day, kindred!

Ellie greets the 2025 grape hyacinths and tulips, as she does.

Bernadette’s been doing some work on the house. Again.

i love them both so much. The podcast was as good as this episode. Such an emotional and visual ride with Gemma and Mark… ❤️‍🩹

Same. I came upon your post while searching for her here. I loved her on the podcast, too.

This is my dear friend, Rob. He showed up three years ago and patiently taught me that he’d like raisins on demand. I just love him.

I LOVE THIS BOOK. On my second read and I never do that. A lot of holding it to the chest while feels go through. Kid-me is way less lonely for Neko having shared her world with us. Read it today, if you like. I will be. xo 💪🇺🇦🦫 #theharderifightthemoreiloveyou #nekocase #memoir #hardscrabble #gifted

We have once again escaped.

May we see no half-sized bride.

Yes’m, please. 🌻

I do! It’s fabulous! I have been lucky enough to play typewriter twice with a University of Michigan experimental orchestra and once improvisationally along with a pianist. Not on par with the piece you reference, but so satisfying. One day, maybe the Boston Typewriter Orchestra. :)

Not sure which century I’m in, but the keyboard and hourglass make working pretty fun. #typewriter #keyboard #luddite #writer #timetravel #hourglass #qwerkywriter
