Here are some bees. They got really happy when I started watering the flowers. I made sure the grass surrounding the flowers had lots of water droplets for them and the birds.

When the real feel is 107, and you're on a date, you stay inside and eat Korean street food I'm a little heat bedraggled but maintaining

"“I live in a city known for eccentricity. Baltimore is a vivid place, full of hidden magic. And yet here I am, quiet and unremarkable, and with no idea of how I got this way. I’d give a lot to have a touch of that magic in my life.” Be careful what you wish for. www.christianeknight.com
It's Pride month and somehow I haven't mentioned that my third book in the Stories of the Eleriannan open series [a standalone, by the way] features hapless and anxious but lovable enby Denny and their bi disaster girlfriend Peri in a magical Baltimore www.christianeknight.com/a-third-kind...

A little late, but since I've been writing and reading a lot about food lately I thought I'd share my usual breakfast. I am a lazy burrito wrapper in the morning so I had to scoop up the rest of the salsa verde with the burrito as I ate it. Not pictured: a mug of Earl Grey Tea
Will you be at #Balticon? If so, I'd love it if you said hi [can't miss the hair] or made it to one of my panels or best yet, came to my in-person book launch for A Small Light in the Darkness! [there will be fun giveaways happening] You can also find me in Artist Alley, trying to look official.
Uh, @tenebrouspress.bsky.social is KNOCKING it out of the park when it comes to awesome packaging. I did not expect this cool ass box [and it came filled with a paperback I've wanted to read plus extra badassery]

Ooh, I had an excellent mail day! I have to wait for this headache to subside before I can dive into Ex Partum by @slashnburnett.bsky.social [published by @atthisarts.com ] and I'm a little mad about that because I've been anticipating it!

Therd used to be a Bradford pear here. Now there's a lawn full of violets and ground ivy. My yard is gloriously purple right now. The bumble bees are thrilled. [One tried repeatedly to tell me that I, too, must be a flower. It was determined to pollinate me!]
