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.

Bouchercon in New Orleans. Good food and fabulous panels. #bouchercon2025

Selling books at the White Mountain Festival of Books. Show Low, AZ

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

Some days the perfect lily is what we get.

Poppy and feet. Sometimes the weirdest things are humorous. We need that these days. #dogs

Nothing like a large cup of Mexican coffee for lunch. #ElAntojoPoblano

Hello Jayne. Meet Poppy.

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

Yep

Lumpy bagels, but they taste good.

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 jalapeños, chiltepin still on the stem, a golden bell that isn't quite there. Winter gardening is wonderful in Tucson.

My first and only lemon...after 3 years from the little lemon stick.

The best part of coming home after #Superstars2025

2,782 miles later, I'm home
#Superstars2025 was fantastic.

Great information on using social media.

One messed up shoulder has finally graduated from 6+ weeks of PT, stronger and more functional....mostly. getting old isn't fun.

Today's effort included lemon curd pound cake. Oh, my, did it come out perfect.

The rosemary is keeping the bees busy.

On the road again today. Another adventure with our rpod 171, Artimus Moon. #rpod #roadtrip #travel

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

The face of chunky Poppy trying to convince me she needs chicken.
