This. A thousand times this.

I feel like doing some simple cat doodles for a bit! Post a picture of your cat below and I will draw as many as I can for at least an hour! Reposts/Likes/Follows = 💜💜💜

Started the new year with a hike. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy that!

My new favorite holiday tradition.

On Friday I continued with my annual tradition of mailing out my holiday cards the day after Thanksgiving. I use my fiction writing time the whole month of November to handwrite personalized letters to friends and family. It is my gift to them.

Any fellow composters out there? I built a compost pile on Saturday, and this was the temperature reading tonight. My pile is overachieving!!!!! #compost

Super excited to see Henry Winkler! I loved his book. Can't wait to hear him speak. And I have awesome seats.

Taking advantage of the long weekend to clear out unwanted stuff from the house. Thanks to Buy Nothing it's all finding new homes. Getting rid of stuff feels so good! #sustainability

Last night for dessert my husband created a sampler platter of some of the varieties of figs from our garden. So yummy! #gardening #figs

Took an introduction to curling class last night. So much fun! Thanks to my years of dance training my form didn't completely suck (except for the time I supermanned on the ice), but I had no power. Practice will make better. #curling #tryingnewthings

I'm not sure why a certain band of turnips are being disrespectful to VP Harris about her not having given birth. Not a SINGLE President of the USA has given birth so far either. If they wanted a President who had given birth so bad they could've voted for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

How come having a negative COVID test doesn't make all my symptoms go away?

So simple it's genius.

Who needs a parrot when you have a cat that wants nothing more than perch on your shoulder all day? #cats

I met Libby Klein when she was doing a book tour for her debut novel in 1996. She is a master of funny, romantic cozy mysteries. She's now has book #9 coming out. I can't wait to read it. click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0yN...

How to tell your partner is a scientist: this is how my husband labeled a container for our gardening supplies. #gardening #science

Finally watching The Last of Us. Saw the Nick Offerman episode last night. So moving. How had I never listened to the words of Long, Long Time before? youtu.be/z80ft2FW0tQ?...

I'm so happy that I get to share my love of #compost with the #homesteading community. My latest article on herbicide contamination went live on The Thrifty Homesteader's site today! #sustainability thriftyhomesteader.com/herbicide-co...

7 years ago today, we met then two-week-old Moose and Squirrel at their foster family's house. Hard to believe they were ever that small! #Cats

I love this ad. It challenges so many assumptions about people with Downs Syndrome and demands people challenge those very limiting assumptions.

My WIP takes place on the grounds of a local plant nursery. They just announced a behind the scenes tour next month! I'm so excited!!! Research (and plant buying) are in my future. #writingcommunity #serendipity #author

To all who celebrate

My latest composting article is now live on The Thrifty Homesteader: Composting without a Bin. I have had so much fun writing this series. I now know a remarkable amount about manure management for someone living in suburbia! The research was so much fun. #composting #homesteading #sustainability

Performed my civic duty - turning in my and my husband's ballots. #vote

San Diego people: If you are interested in learning in depth where our water comes from, I strongly suggest signing up for the Citizens Water Academy and becoming a water ambassador. I learned so much when I went through the program. Cannot recommend it highly enough. #water #sandiegowaterwise

Somehow this week I stumbled upon Full Plate Living. Where has this been my whole life? It's how I'd been eating, just a little more so. I inhaled their online program, and the book is in my library queue. I can do this & get my bloodwork where it should be! #fullplateliving www.fullplateliving.org

Watching Double Indemnity with my husband for Valentine's Day. We're perfect for each other. www.imdb.com/title/tt0036...

Please help me, Writing Community! I need synonyms for "woo-woo" - which I only learned today is hyphenated! Anyone have any suggestions? #writingcommunity #authors #languagenerds

I guess our days got long enough for one of our girls to start laying again. Wasn't expecting that for another couple months. We'll take it!

Had a rare occurrence in Southern California: Had to wait for my windshield to defrost before I could start my errands this morning.
