I don't know about you, but I'd feel a lot better if we were sitting in a quiet and mossy forest, having a lively book club meeting with distinguished talking animals and other wild folk of the wood.

No, pretty kitty. Don’t even think that for 1 second.

Yeah, that’s unfortunate. Don’t know why they keep using that terminology. Split pump is more accurate: can produce heating or cooling.

Catherine @cateditorial.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
Totally glad to have put in new split pumps a couple of years ago. Grateful to have had the coin. Thinking some kind of A/C in housing is just as necessary as heat in winter.

I’ve started inviting my older kids to hang out as I’m editing. I try to narrate the decisions I’m making. How to recast a sentence, why I reject spell check suggestions, things I leave in place to honor the author’s voice. I badly want them to think of writing and editing as a human art…

Don't allow anyone to tell you that spending a rainy day reading books and eating pastries "doesn't classify" as self-care.

Not a great picture, but the Purple Martins are back!
At the tope of a pole down by the bay are three Purple Martin nest boxes. On the one at the very top of the pole, a pair of Purple Martins sits. They almost certainly have eggs or chicks in the nest box. They have driven off several seagulls who have come too close.

What a privilege it is to have a little less room in the bed because a tiny creature thinks it's the safest place to sleep at night.

Y'all think I'm playing. This is a chicken account. Shot poorly through a glass door I need to clean. Chickens eating grandma's flowers.
Poorly shot picture of two baby chickens  sitting in flower baskets destroying grandma's flowers. Momma hen and two babies on the door to the porch. They don't give a fuck. Chickens love this pot for some reason. There are 6 chickens crammed in. Poor petunia is crushed. Wide shot of chickens on porch.
