Always writing, I have filled hard drives with ones and zeros that occasionally coalesce into books. I live on a non-tropical island in the Pacific and love a good math joke, especially if there is pi involved. https://jeannettebedard.substack.com

I painted this some time ago, and stumbled upon it today and realize I actually like it. I might try painting people again.

Reworked the isopod terrarium—they seem happy with having more moss to munch on.

Yesterday we went for a three frog hike. Spotted this one (who went back exactly where we found it), a bullfrog and a green frog.

This is blooming outside today, and it’s lovely (I’ve already taken two breaks from work to go look at it).
