I was 10, and I distinctly remember because it was my 5th grade language arts teacher who looked me in the eye and scoffed, βyou donβt seriously believe in all that still?β And as a *highly imaginative* child, it was such a blow.

Yesterday my mother-in-law was over and we were talking about flowers.
Me: βI canβt let myself become a plant person. I donβt really have time to garden.β
Her: ββ¦I just stood here and watched you count all 19 buds on your butterfly bush. Out loud.β

30.01.2025 15:18 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Bird! A blue jay. Sitting on a bent branch of a dogwood tree, the branch mounded with snow, the dappling of late day sunlight behind. The blue jay is in the left of frame, facing right, its tuft slicked back and catching the golden light. In its mouth -- er, it's beak, is the beak its mouth, or is the mouth inside the beak okay never mind whatever -- IN THE BEAK is a peanut. A treasure. A prize. A little snack. The blue jay looks quite pleased at what it is found in the snow -- taken before a squirrel could get it. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig
ANYWAY, sorry, here's a bird. Pause and regard the bird. The bird is happy, for the bird has found a peanut. May we all find the small joy of finding a tasty snack today.

January is a treadmill.
