Reader, writer, artist, ponderer, recovering academic, off gridder in Tres Piedras NM. She/her. I like books and rocks and trees and bugs. Fascinated by textures and oddities and weird juxtapositions. Not a fan of fascism.

Got pallets. Going to cut them in half and use them to shelter the bushes I just planted over the winter.

We’ve got wood. Not yet stacked and covered. Still no fire needed in the wood stove. This year the company I usually order from delivered some crap stuff mixed in. I called, they’re going to make it right by delivering an extra cord. Excellent customer service! Allpine Lumber in La Jara, CO.

Storm seen from a distance. I love the open landscape that allows weather phenomena to be seen as they move across the land. ❤️NM.

Noisy, hungry frogs sadden farmer's life. They scare his cattle and they also eat his flannel shirt.

Hegseth said in his talk to the military brass that he wanted them clean shaven bc he didn’t want them looking like a bunch of Norse pagans. Personally, I think that sounds like an army worth having. Although an army of clean shaven square jawed Christian Nationalists is terrifying in another way.

Quintessential NM: coyotes left a scat message to our dogs on top of a tumbleweed at the driveway end. Coyotes and roaming dogs in our neighborhood have corners where they leave notices to all the others. The end of our driveway is one of those communication centers. Sky duly urinated on top of it.

There are flashes of lightning to the west that illuminate this view of the east. There's also a hint of northern lights bottom left around the 1:40 mark.

I love the light in the early evenings in the Fall here in northern New Mexico. Today there were thunderstorms all around but they never hit here. No rain, just distant thunder.

Digging through stuff and found this. Forgot I made it. Such a peculiar thing to come across something you wrote or made or forgot about. It’s like another version of your self made it.

I hope pain and trauma can heal like the Japanese art of Kintsugi. I hope we heal more beautiful than before…

Another landscape - familiar ‘scapes - those places we know but they may be different each time we encounter them.

The group behind the statue says a second permit, to reinstall the piece after Wednesday's removal, was revoked without explanation. It has since posted free 3D printable copies of the statue online.

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

I often save business envelopes that I receive for collage fodder. The pattern inside this envelope was beautiful.
