This is the worst week I've had in a very long time. No words have made it to the page. As the storms hit, I felt like I was drowning. I still don't think I'm through the worst of it, but I think I'm almost ready to write my way out. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WritersLife

Off to snag hay at the Farm-macy. I did a GREAT job parking. 💪🙌 Nicked our other car (on a jack), ran into the woodpile, BUT missed the three-pronged metal rake thingie waiting to murder my tire. The bar was low. I cleared it. #FarmLife #MondayMotivation

Just Mousey and I, watching another Georgia sunrise—praying the family stays in bed so we don't have to spread mulch or fold laundry. Or in her case: attend to her farm cat responsibilities, since she crawled into bed thinking I wouldn't notice. It's cool, babe. I feel you. #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky

Turns out fugitively is already a word. Anywho, I’ve decided it means: with sufficient criminal intent to have already considered an exit strategy. English evolves during marital disputes. 😌 #WritingCommunity #Writers #WordNerd

The sun has been setting earlier every day. I’m a little mad about it—until it catches fire and reminds me autumn is coming. 🍂 Let the South keep the cold at bay a while longer. I’m not ready for ice-bucket breaking. #Sunset #Georgia #Autumn #Photography #NaturePhotography #FarmLife #Mountains

For almost 10 years, I was a violinist. Years later, as a mother, wife, and artist, my niece brought out an old viola. Though they aren't the same, my fingers remembered—I could still play vibrato. #7SyllableSquad #7SyllableSentence #Abyss #Poetry #WritingCommunity

The garden has been doused in rain. I'd like to crawl under the covers, but my best friend gave me a bread mixer for my birthday. Consequently, the mulch is still sitting in unspread piles, my house smells fantastic, and Audible is making a lot of money off me. #MobilePhotography #FarmLife #Storming

Woke to a lightning storm and poems running through my head. I wrote them down before attempting sleep. Paired with an old photograph I took—discovered metamorphosis. #booksky #NatureWriting #NatureEscape #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #7SyllableSquad #7SyllableSentence #PoetryCommunity #Autumn

A creep waits outside the glass Lurking Slips under the sill As I brush my hair, undress Waiting an hour for me still Quietly, rest my lashes Relent—Under the covers An arm reaching for my leg Slinks way up my pajamas Fangs in flesh Screams In darkness #7SyllableSquad #7SyllableSentence #Writing

Sin—a green monster in hand Crawling across lush red lips You hide a bite—caught my sight Tangling graves, you better dig Cage your breath or it plummets Grief—a stormy September Wisteria weeps in black. #7SyllableSquad #7SyllableSentence

There are a thousand bees inside my skull this morning. The well quit overnight, the smoke alarm won't stop chirping, helicopters kidnapped my husband on my birthday, and my son kicked me in the spine all night. Lord willing, there's milk for tea. Next: clean house, and Monday's homework. #Parenting

Happy 11th anniversary of my 29th birthday. My red hair has silver, though my husband claims nobody notices. I was a peacock for Halloween, and after my medical history, it's spooky to still be here. The wonderful part? Knowing who I am, with nothing to prove. 🍾😌 #ChronicIllness #BloomScrolling

In late summer they swarmed the farm. I read about them after we found a friend to reintroduce a queen. A worker bee lives only 5–6 weeks; humans live decades. We take our days for granted, but the bee? She works for others until she dies—her purpose profound. #Mobile #bloomscrolling #InsectThursday

We are 6 days away from autumn. There’s a bizarre phase in the South where the leaves are changing, but we’re still eating the last of our watermelons. The heat screams summer, but the foliage screams, “Watch out! The cold is coming!”—and it leaves me torn between cobbler and stew. 😅 #SouthernLiving

Lish @teaintheweeds.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

There are places up here in the mountains that look like they belong somewhere else. Colleges, cathedrals, houses—eaten by history—spit back out. You may have to witness them to believe them. Still, here they are. I hope you're just as resilient. #BerryCollege #SouthernGothic #WritingCommunity

Two hours from home to stare at a similar view, only this one belongs to someone else. We leave our mountains just to go looking for a fresh perspective. Carving from peak to peak until Monday. Suddenly I feel—breathless. Ready for new challenges again. #WritingCommunity #NatureWriting #booksky

Become one with the fish by drowning your toes in a river and making burnt-marshmallow cuisine. Shove your medical problems and your terrible week beneath a horizon of mountains. Come home filthy, but at least you'll get some sanity returned. #ForestFriday #MobilePhotography #WritingCommunity

If you hold your breath, the note of the forest will fold itself into your soul. In 2001, 25 elk returned to Cataloochee Valley after nearly 200 years of silence. Restore one species, and life ripples outward—because of the bugling songs of whales walking on land. #NatureWriting ##WritingCommunity

They've since lost one of their whale sharks, and my son is no longer this small. Yet years ago, I took this image of him at the Atlanta aquarium. Emptiness leaves a profound impact on us all. #GeorgiaAquarium #WhaleShark #Childhood #GrowingUp #Photography #WritingCommunity #Motherhood #Parenting

The light is gone. Crickets outside my window sing low. Heaviness unsettles my chest. Moonglade flashes beneath my lashes, and my hands will tremble soon. A beast buries my independence. I lie awake, waiting in fear. My brain—the wicked path, a tart—bitter traitor. #vss365 #moonglade

I swear, if there's been any mischief, this grizzly will pivot. Nothing says “I’m an ass” like having to march into an office building to defend your kid. But Caspian isn’t apologizing, and sometimes the farm gives very good life advice. 😮‍💨 #FarmLife #DonkeyLife #Parenting #SlowLiving -ish #writing

Labor Day in the States is for recreational recovery. In this case, I'm recovering my husband from being kidnapped by his responsibilities—and giving him more responsibilities: a mandatory family fun day. 😏 Non-negotiable. 💋 #LaborDay #FamilyTime #LakeLife #cellphonePhotography #WritingCommunity

Life Flight saves lives. My husband saves Life Flight helicopters. Tea rescues me when I'm stuck in a hangar full of guys elbow-deep in engines and throwing wrenches. I'm tossing caffeine like it's holy water. Blessings upon the women with good reflexes. #SipSunday

Tetley and I have two things in common: ignoring farm responsibilities and sleeping. Pretty sure there's a mouse somewhere on the farm gleefully foraging after she snuck inside to nap in the shoe basket. I'm too big to fit, but I'll join her in solidarity. #Caturday

When autumn and winter arrive, so do the school viruses. The beauty is unmatched, but the lung currently lying on my mattress thinks perhaps summer should stick around a little longer. At least we agree on one thing: when fall comes, death follows. #ForestFriday #WritingCommunity #MobilePhotography

Photographed from a moving train with a Walmart phone, Montserrat was gloriously looming—a place of contemplation for monks, presumably about time management. Meanwhile, I taught my son the same lesson: do your homework because that phone is mine now. Motherhood is lovely too. #TravelPhotography

We only have 20 days left until autumn, and the leaves are starting to drop—not because of cooler weather, but because everything is dying. Of heat stroke. And a lack of rain. My thermostat is set to 68°, so we're playing pretend by wearing cute sweaters. #Photography #NaturePhotography #Autumn

At 18, everyone thought we were crazy for getting married. Even though we've long since surpassed the accidental black eye—a result of sleeping on a twin mattress on the barracks floor (sorry, babe)—21 years later, we're still sleeping next to each other. Happy anniversary, my love. ❤️

Found 40 while wandering through a shoe shop in Europe. Somewhere next to aisle 39 is the 11th anniversary of my 29th birthday. I KNOW. I want to throw up too! I have 17 days to go. I hid behind the elderly woman next to me. #Photography #Travel #TravelPhotography #WritingCommunity

Èze was at the very top of my to-see list, and we nearly didn't make it. The sun was drifting into blue hour when the mountain road took a curve and suddenly, we never wanted to leave. My body suspended above the ocean and my heart leaping into it. #Photography #WritingCommunity #Booksky #Writers

Date night looks different after 20 years. Fine dining is two people covered in hay, wearing muddy boots, and having a picnic after a ride on the mower. If we're really dressing up, we'll smuggle candy from Dollar General into the movie theater. #WritingCommunity #FarmLife #SlowLiving #DateNight

Apparently the cat wants breakfast. I might be fired from farm chores for being late to work. The audacity of my five minute tea break has been officially filed with the HR complaints department. Our donkey is signing the petition. #Catterday #Humor

When I lived in the desert, lush areas had to be made. There is gratitude in the hummingbirds fed by human hands, or a lizard searching for shade and finding a bottle cap of water left behind. Sometimes a forest belongs to the life growing in ditches. Don't miss it. #ForestFriday #writingCommunity

Sometimes I retreat into my little world in the woods, preferring nature to humankind. Then I get sick or need help, and the people I never asked to carry me become the hands holding me up. A quiet reminder—despite ourselves, we need one another more than we think. #WritingCommunity

We were on the flight line when the tornado warning came. Thunder rolled, lightning split the sky, and we hurried into the hangar. But he stopped in the doorway, watching the wind and rain—in awe of how powerful nature can be. #NaturePhotography #Nature #Storms

Sometimes it's better to ignore the stack of dirty dishes screaming from the sink, claim the last clean mug, and steal five minutes of peace. The floating cereal can wait. Quiet mornings are a luxury. #NatureWriting #SlowLiving #Writing #WritingCommunity

Begging for a bad brain day is not the norm—the EEG is scheduled. It's the one time I hope everything goes wrong, because when it should, it doesn't. My hands tremor and the ground shakes, yet the zinnias will yawn, chickens will cluck, and one impatient donkey will still be braying for breakfast.

From a professional photographer to spending years living without internet because they couldn't bring service out to us. I switched by hauling a sketchbook and journal and then I taught myself to draw. Sometimes life requires a pivot 😊 Enjoy our goslings from the days prior to putting my gear down.

After traveling around Europe, it's been so good to be home. Listening to this guy knock on the trees in our woods has felt like a neighbor coming over to say hello. Until you're trying to sleep and retrain yourself to sleep through it. A sketch snagged from my sketchbook

I'm very new to BlueSky and I'm an hour late to #ForestFriday I also have an unfair advantage. I live on 11+ acres and this right here is my view from home. I am surrounded by woods, I own a creek, and there's a hawk currently nesting above my head.

One night, little trucks haul blueberries from the fridge. Years later, I’m taking gummy worms and a controller from a sleeping middle-school frat boy. Childhood slips away while we’re busy watching them live it.

I have buckets of sludge that make people question my sanity, but then my madness blossoms into reality. The chaos makes sense once you see it come together. Before that? It appears I’m farming large containers of miniature swamps. 😆😅 Hello my summer lotus blooms.

After flirting with summer despite my fair skin, the best part is a sleeping boy in the backseat as we wind home with the windows open.
