I have had the honor of many black dogs coming thru my home as fosters/rescues. This one, M, stayed forever because I needed her to heal my soul, and she knew it.

I left an empty box on my work table and two of the cats started fighting over it so I had to find a second similar box, and now they are both happy. #caturday

A large wooden table stacked with books and papers, and in the middle are two low sided cardboard boxes. In one box is a small orange tabby cat curled up asleep. The box is the perfect size for him. In the second box is a large brown tabby cat who is so large his head and body are spilling over the box sides. He is also blissfully asleep.

My one and only good #SFGiants experience this season: getting the chance to see Tim Flannery & the Lunatic Fringe live, and best of all, getting a hug from Jake Peavy!!!

I had a great day at our 34th annual #Pescadero Arts & Fun Festival, talking to folks about how to use solar + storage for energy resilience. Kids really enjoyed getting hands on with building circuits and measuring voltage of solar cells!

Personally, I think the #SFGiants started the downhill slide when they didn’t renew Renel’s contract.

I love Linda in all her genres, especially her Trio album with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton. But by far the most important gift is her biography Feels Like Home. She captured every essence and memory of growing up in the Sonoran desert. It’s priceless.

I bought this book last Monday and finished reading it just before the holiday weekend. It’s like having a lovely long conversation with a friend you haven’t seen in a few years. But at its core, it’s a book about grief. And it made me incredibly sad for what we had, and what we’ve lost.

Her arms are crossed in front of her and her smile is slightly mischievous. The book’s title is View from the East Wing.

Hosted a community weaving yesterday at #Berkeley Farmers Market so folks could get hands-on with gorgeous Climate Beneficial yarns from Northern California @fibershed.bsky.social producers like @fullcirclewool.bsky.social and Integrity Alpacas. #sustainable #weaving #textilearts

Upright 7-stick loom with a tapestry woven from many types of spun yarn and roving in soft colors of natural light brown, yellow, green, and white. Handwritten messages are interspersed reading “love is the answer” “protect your neighbors” “May you thrive in love” and “I wish you peace”

Out at #Berkeley Farmers Market again, this time talking about my favorite #flax fiber and efforts to re-establish textile manufacturing in California and across North America. #sustainable #regenerative #textiles #NALA

Two posters describing California Bast Fiber production, and Facts about how flax is beneficial for the earth. In front of the posters is a display of books on homegrown linen, the North American Linen Association status report, and bundles of linen struck, tow, and a wool/linen worsted weight yarn.

Decided to finally dive into this Emily Lex Studio #watercolor workbook that I bought at my #local independent #bookstore a couple of months ago. Super relaxing! #peace

Back and front covers of the Emily Lex Studio Garden watercolor workbook. There are square swatches of watercolor pigments around the border of the pages and a variety of watercolor paintings of garden items in the center- flowers in a pot, a watering can, a sun hat etc

A tableau of water color supplies: a green ceramic dish with different colors of mixed paints, a set or watercolor cakes from the local dollar store, a small mason jar filled with muddied water, and a notebook with the artist’s example drawing and instructions on the left page, and my finished painting - a terra cotta flower pot with spiky lavender flowers and green leaves -

Gave out 75 home weatherization kits at today’s #Winter #Preparedness fair with Weatherstripping and other tools to seal leaky doors and windows. It’s a small thing but hoping it helps folks reduce their #energyburden. No one should have to make the choice between buying food and paying for heat.
