Farmers are the best people and this makes me so so sad. Ugh. Hurts my heart and the future of our world.

I started with over 1400 pictures taken with 3 cameras. I don’t reduce them as much as I should have, but I think 375 or so made it into the photo book. It might not be perfect, but I’m so excited!

Last night I stayed up late and finished a long-overdue project: I created and ordered a photo book from Gracie’s big trip to Wyoming is 2019. I took advantage of a social media announced sale for unlimited free extra pages from Shutterfly.

Here we go. So much to learn, plan, and do. :)

One of my favorite puzzles from Covid-puzzle time was drawn by the same person who drew my current favorite puzzle and is *also* the same person who wrote and illustrated one of my favorite children's books. Her art makes me feel like I'm being hugged.

Emily Winfield Martin is a treasure.

As I finished the book, I was transported to 12 year old me standing in front of the Vietnam memorial. I remember feeling solemn at the time. Today, I sobbed.

So many. So many lives. So many lies.

May we learn from the past. God help us.

Just finished listening to ‘The Women’ by Kristin Hannah and read by Julia Whelan. My goodness.

This is my first Kristin Hannah read - but will not be my last.
This is my second Julia Whelan audiobook (soooo good.)

I’ve been told works of fiction increase empathy and this one certainly did.

“This is a matter ball. And these are trimmers. They remove the barnacles from the bioluminescent organism.”

Direct quote from my 3.5 year old.

We’ve been reading books about the ocean. 🙂

Your people will find you here. I’m going to try to figure this platform out, but it will take time to adjust.

What was it?

Hello, Bluesky world.
