Author, artist, fire dragon Gemini. I live in a house in a birch forest that I built with my true love in Alaska. I write funny and feel-good magical romance (sometimes with flamingos) as Elva Birch and Zoe Chant and draw unicorns. https://ellenmillion.com

A salad yesterday entirely from my garden. (Except the ranch dressing. I did not grow that.)

Garden harvest: tomatoes, kale, lettuce peas, and cucumber

Selfie from this weekend's Viking Festival. It was beautiful, if cold, and some Unicorn Key decks found their forever homes.

it's me! Mushroom earrings, a steampunk fur shrug, a flower headdress.

Most of my mushroom photos are in the woods, where mushrooms can grow on rotting logs and drink swamp water.

Not this guy.

This mushroom is made of grit and f*ck you, living his best life in a busy intersection, sucking nutrients out of gravel and cigarette butts.

I salute you, mushroom.

A small drab mushroom growing out of concrete, with the corner of a truck mirror, because it's also the middle of an intersection.

I took a tomato class for Mother's Day and can't wait to start gardening. Yes, that is still snow outside the window. The trees are just starting to green, but it's still getting to near freezing at night, so... not yet.
