I loved this and went looking for the name. It looks like this is actually by Adam Oehlers and it's called Driftwood. www.adamoehlersillustration.com/illustrations/

Hope you're having a great time! It's been some years since I've been to Biglerville. When I think of Biglerville I think of Oyler's. I always liked their fresh cider.

I love this. And it made me think of something @branacos.bsky.social said the other day "Just because it's in decay does not mean it is not beautiful."

Flannel forever and always! I have six George flannels. Found two cheap at Goodwill a few years back and decided to search for more on eBay. They're some of the best flannels I've found. Gotta be the older ones that are all cotton though. They're nice and worn soft and are a mid weight thickness.

Made this with my words and one of my photos. #reminder #wordstoremember #defeatthemonsters
On a dark shadowy background of leaves lit by a street light against a rainy window are the following words:
You don't bow
To the monsters
Who think
They are gods
You defeat them

There are two gray trees trunks, one on each side of a black arched frame with black detail made of curling tree branches with a black silhouette of a woman in a dress holding a small plant in her left hand and the train of her dress in the right.

I had replied to the below: Paper maps are great. Never run out of juice, let you see the close-up detail and the big picture at the same time (because they're three feet wide, unlike your phone), and the more you use them the more you learn your way around without them, unlike obeying a machine.

The rays of the rising sun peaking over the roof into the backyard here on top of the little mountain. The sun rays hit the bright yellow green of the myriad of recently unfurled little maple leaves that shiver in the cold breeze, setting them aglow in the morning light. #morning #trees #nature

If you enjoy witchy fiction this was good. It felt like the right book at the right time, and similar to how I felt when I read The Once and Future Witches in Oct 2020. #witchybooks #witchyreads #witchystuff

I’m loving Spring edited by Melissa Harrison. I got the summer, autumn, and winter ones as well. It’s great that there’s a mix of writers from our past and present. There’s a wide variety of different types of writing. All the covers are really colorful too. #books #naturereads #spring
