I planted it 29 years ago. It’s been a true joy to watch it grow.

What’s the book?!? I wanna read it!

Yes! Have you read Finding The Mother Tree By Suzanne Simard?

This locust tree brings me joy every year.

Reading the forward by the President of Ireland, Michael Higgins makes me wish we had a leader with one teeny tiny drop of his class and integrity.

Late to the party on this one, but can’t put it down. Worth reading again and again.

Sometimes doomscrolling pays off.

In case you need a joy bomb.

Happy Birthday Katie!

Seattle & King County are better off thanks to Cuong Van Huynh.

This man is a pillar of our community, and he should not be torn away from his family and his home after 40 years.

Here’s what I know from Van and the people who love him:

Been keeping an eye on this little Ponderosa Pine growing out of a stump for a couple of years. It reminds me we are all rooted to something bigger than ourselves.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

Wow. Love it. Where is it!’? Going to Ireland in September…
