I'm concentrating on other people's fiction so I can blunt the effect of our current political state. I'd rather fight aliens in deep space or enjoy a little paranormal romance with my favorite vampires than listen to the hate and resentment floating around. We need more love and understanding.

It's a bit wild, but it's exactly what I wanted...bright spots of color that survived the summer. The poor periwinkle needs some nutrition.

When's the last time you've heard 10,000 Maniacs? #Foxtucson

I can't complain about the food so far. Trying different gumbos (they are different) and shrimp and grits. NOLA

The brain won't shut off. Who needs sleep, right? What keeps rolling around in my head is a sense of gratitude that I'm still able to attend conferences and the sense of community here. It might be an illusion, but it gives me comfort that there are people who can think for themselves.

Western National Park Store. This gem was a bit out of my way, but we'll worth the visit. If you want to support our national parks, try stopping here. #orovalley #nationalparks #shopping

Instant pot gumbo sort of. It came out pretty good. It will be better tomorrow.

Looking a little bleak these days. It would be nice to have a little hope in the future.

The advantage of being retired is breakfast during the week at our favorite Mexican breakfast restaurant, Mosaic.

Poppy has had an exhausting day. Barking at rabbits, the UPS truck, other dogs...it's just too much.

Sometimes you need to add a little spice to your life-a pile of small jalapeΓ±os, chiltepin still on the stem, a golden bell that isn't quite there. Winter gardening is wonderful in Tucson.

Nothing like a little gardening to work out the frustration of our future political climate.
