They're probably not there yet, but in January I often see a flock of Baltimore Orioles in a tamarind tree off our balcony admiring the sunset over the Pacific in Jacó, Costa Rica.

One of the things I love most about quilting is creating improv bags. This one is about 2 inches square and will protect this ceramic essential oil diffuser when I travel to a yoga retreat soon. The red cloth is a leftover quilted bit from my mom, ca. 1995. #quilting #yoga #sewing

Please help spread the word! Did you know you can ask your local library to carry "Cellphoneitis"? ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 979-8991665544 With witty, rhythmic prose & vibrant illustrations, this laugh-out-loud cautionary tale is great for reluctant readers & tech-savvy kids alike. #picturebook #unplug

Whatever temp the water is, you feel that temperature through the waders. I don't recall feeling fish pass by, but it's been a few decades. Also I never went deeper than my hips/waist, if that makes a difference.

Going to celebrate the Fourth with friends tonight, so I made a little table runner as a hostess gift. It's scrappy patchwork for the scrappy patchwork of immigrants we all are #quilting #sewing #250years

Hi Breezers, we try not to send out too many emails, but each time we do, we get "unsubscribe" notices. We get it! Our email boxes get full too. We just hate for people not to know what's going on in the region, and it's super hard to add you back--it's a whole process and can only be done once!

I like Obo low hiking boots. They have a wide toe box and a regular heel in their regular sizes. Wide sizes may keep the same proportions? Good luck to you! Feet comfort is important.

I had the joy of getting to know Jane at an SCBWI conference in Atlanta where I volunteered as her chauffeur. One on one time with her and her generous writing advice were delightful. She will be missed. My condolences to you, Heidi, and all the family.💔

Cut it into matchstick size pieces, toss with a Vietnamese lime/garlic/fish sauce dressing, add basil, cilantro, and/ or mint. Top with optional peanuts and dribble hot sauce. Makes a delicious salad that keeps a couple days in the fridge. Delish whether the papaya is really green or part ripe.

The line was one hour + long at my Fulton County polling location today. Same small room and fewer voting machines than I've seen in elections past.
