I just saw a cute little bunny rabbit in the yard! He was too quick and shy for me to get a photoโ€ฆmaybe next time. There he hops, out into the field.

I'm not all that egotistical. I'm just trying to love myself the best way I know that won't get me arrested.

On this beautiful Earth Day, I feel that we should all be reminded that, like your own mother, Mother Earth brought you into this world, and she sure as hell can take you out of it.

I love spring days like this. Warm and breezy and beautiful. Gonna light some incense and let the wisps of smoke drift.

I think Iโ€™m in love!
โ€ฆwith this stove! Especially with the iron griddle.
Sheโ€™s gorgeous, and totally built, but she can be a little dangerous.
Sheโ€™s so hot, though.

My friend Elizabeth was in Michigan for a bit, so I was lucky enough to get a visit. Excellent.

Nanny and Poppy, with my sister and yours truly. Losing my grandfather is one of my earliest clear memories (my brain doesnโ€™t retain well) but I was lucky enough to have my maternal grandmother in my life well into my twenties.

My favorite R.E.M. album and (in my opinion) the pinnacle of the mystical vibe of their early days. Goes best with the magical crackle of vinyl. Evokes long shadows and kudzu.

Todayโ€™s earworm: โ€œI Wanna Know What Love Isโ€ by Foreigner. Actually, this is day three of that eighties chmaltz fest flopping around in my noggin like a dying flounder, and I have no idea what prompted this infection, but Iโ€™d like a mental antibiotic.
