Generally seen with my nose in a book. Sometimes walking about.
Hi. I haven't been using this platform, but I had a nice bookish conversation with someone on here today--and it made me want to participate again. I've been reading lots. Currently reading: Neruda on the Park by Cleyvis Natera #booksky
opening the window blind to see a bird taking a bath in our birdbath 🌞
Currently reading: Terrarium by Valerie Trueblood I posted a picture on instagram & then lost it somehow. I had a biopsy done today. I'm on the couch feeling poorly now.
Opened a window this morning, and people were yelling back & forth across the street to each other. They were talking about a book they had just taken out from the library 📚❤️ I love seeing people walk by with their books!
Hi! Janet is on the primary ballot & we can still vote for her.
On one side of the ledger, Platner has a Nazi tattoo, insults American military heroes, Black Americans, & rape survivors, & sexted to a dozen women on an app that pedophiles use. On the other side, he has absolutely no qualifications to be a United States Senator & knows nothing about policy.
Janet is still on the primary ballot! We don't need to "hold our noses" & vote for that guy. Let's show up and prove how awesome & informed Mainers are. Vote for Governor Mills! @janetmillsforme.bsky.social #Maine
I'm not going to "hold my nose" & vote for him. We can still vote for Governor Mills in the primary, & hope we can get her back in the race. #Maine

Patti Smith on the radio in the grocery store & I found a geranium for just $1.49🌞

‘A beautifully written illustration of the power of novels to tread where biographies cannot.’ —Antonia Senior, The Times Wash by Erica Wagner – the story of the man who built the Brooklyn Bridge, told from the inside.

I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. I want to bring the sliced almonds that we are not going to eat to the chipmunks on the trail we walk. Calming goals.
