hi 👋 Updated! Here for cats, music, food, travel, & nature. I know the world is on fire & my way of staying sane is to find beauty & light here and outside. Newly into photography & am loving my fujifilm xT5. Here to connect with all of you in a non-creepy way! Still distracted by alpacas & taters.

Last bit of energy was used to put lights on the tree. Hoping it can decorate itself while I sleep.

Thanksgiving has become my favorite holiday. It’s the only holiday where taters are required! It’s also the only collective time that we’re all grateful. I hold this gratitude in sync with grief for those no longer with us. Both can exist together. Wishing you all much gratitude & taters ✨

Widow of one of my favorite Little League dads posted a “Happy Anniversary” message to her late husband on IG. He took his own life ~3 years ago. He was such a kind and gentle dude. Their only child is the same age as J. Please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline if you need help. I did 👇🏾
