Sometimes you get all the things done you are supposed to do and sometimes you write a weird little story about a dead body instead.

Saved the rest for tomorrow. Once I saved the sugary inside of a Cadbury cream egg for a week on a spoon.

My heart is thirsty so I bought another Claire Keegan novel.
A blue and white copy of “Foster” by Claire Keegan with a pic of a farmhouse and fields on the front, on a wool blanket with red and yellow stripes.

Good morning, devastating rejection. Good morning, shorn fields, the sound of the highway, the flat sweet smell of instant coffee. Good morning I will do it all again. And again and again.

Please share my joy at the Hispanic Heritage Month parade at my school as kids wore jerseys & traditional costumes from their home countries & carried flags & sang & we cheered & yelled Honduras! Guatemala! Puerto Rico! Mexico! in the hallways ♥️🌎

Me and two 4th grade girls discussed getting our ears pierced at Claire’s. Legendary store. Decades of us affected.

That light lasted about 5 minutes & then it turned chilly & I got the overwhelming feeling I needed to get back in my car

Went for a drive after dinner & found this.
Some old gravestones falling over in a grassy plot overlooking a flat field with the sun setting behind a tree on the right

Wow that is a beautiful song. Listened to it just now in my darkening room. Thanks for the recommendation.

The rabbit in the moon is upside down. Farmers harvest all night, dust in their spotlights. The mornings are cold.

Rain filled the birdbath and they haven’t found it yet
A reflection in the still water of a round birdbath of some long grasses with the yard and fence beyond

Sitting on my bed watching the light in the room get dimmer and dimmer as the sun goes down is some kind of peaceful magic that I've been dipping into since I was old enough to sit.

Lots of bats out here right now and the moon peeking
The full moon between some dry corn stalks

Today a 2nd grader looked into my vision screening machine & said it was illusiony. Later a 1st grader invited me to her bday & said everyone was coming except the meanies. I wish we all spoke this way.
