There are days when the feeling is like motoring through sargassum that lies on the ocean as thick as a Persian rug; but Sundays, we let it be easy. Happy, #EasySunday, friends.

A poem of mine is free to read! It's called "ode to beasts and puppets" a tribute to that bittersweet sadness I felt when Pinocchio finally became a real boy & the Beast from Beauty & the Beast became just a man.. There's a kind of longing to pass in these old tales to me eyetothetelescope.com

In March, as the final weeks of winter drag on, refusing to give up and go, and the snow falls from grey skies, refusing to melt anytime soon, then during this time, I will buy pretty much anything if it has flowers on the packaging. #gardens #bloomscrolling #YOW #desperateforSpring

I teach this course on moments of change in history and we're looking at food and culture to start off. I was doing some prep today and that led me to learning about James Hemings, which is a cool enough story I thought I'd pass it on. Hemings was the first chef in America trained in France.

6 wks ago, a young woman rang our bell late at night looking for her sister in our neighborhood. She suspected she was in danger. She asked my husband to call the police. This week, a man rang our bell looking for a 29yo of a certain name. We don’t know him. I’ve already written the book in my head
