Haha yours truly. My favorite detail ... (The tiny Hello Kitty)

After I quit my job, I bought a small building on Main Street in my hometown (pop. 505) and opened a lending library and free cinema, where I show movies on Friday nights. Last night: JAWS (My terrier is the official usher and full-time crumb-Roomba)

A swallowtail butterfly feeds on the blossoms of a butterfly bush. Lovely to watch, if a bit on the nose

Nearby to my hometown we had until recently the Hill Cumorah Pageant ... a bonkers depiction of Joseph Smith meeting the Angel Moroni, thus founding Mormonism, which was born here. (You're welcome, world)

I just want the credit I deserve. This week I've forced 3 bored teenagers who have been fed non-stop movie slop ... I have forced them to see live theater in creaky old venues. Two musicals in one week! Summer stock is the most wonderful gift to small towns. (The kids remain unimpressed.)

The only smart thing I've done this summer is to grow own lettuce. Here's my little patch. I call her Lettuce Pray

This detail from a WSJ story about Platner's campaign manager Dan Moraff caught my eye. Moraff's fiancée's engagement ring "opens to a tiny comb that she has used to brush Moraff's beard."

I nurture and tend my gardens. And then my plants do whatever they want. [And please help me settle this annual awkwardness. I say Clem-AAHH-tiss Others say CLEM-ah-tiss] Which is it?

Forever gamine

Happy Porch Washing Day to all who celebrate

Happy Mothers Day to all who celebrate by avoiding their families and hiding out in the potting shed

For #TerrierTuesday ... Molly helps out in the garden. #norwich

Given my very limited knowledge I can only guess Pajama Game?

It's always a beautiful day In Frackville, PA

I know that today's timeline is so awful that no amount of adorable cats can possibly cleanse it, but here is a fox crossing our field this morning.

Oh my God, New York Times. I will fight you.

Impressive turnout to see John Mulaney at the State Theater in Ithaca on the first beautiful afternoon this spring.

Should be a legit word

This "meal" cost $20. The egg salad sandwich was $14.99

I'm actually loving this wild winter

The team captains look like jiffy pops

But Vegemite is still completely disgusting

The Birdseye Diner in Castleton Vermont. I ordered an egg cream (!) a chocolate malted, and the #5 Hungryman Special. No regrets

Calling all suitcase pets

Mesmerizing murmuration this morning overlooking beautiful Seneca Lake

Thank you to the overnight road crews, plowing our rural road at 5AM

Low-key but lovely winter double rainbow

Snow kayaking. Going to make it a thing
