officially in the bird-obsessed era of my life. because of my new bird feeder ⬇️ birds I’ve never seen in my yard behind are stopping by for a snack 🥹 today I got a European robin! (not my bird photo)

does anyone else recite the entire “ain’t you tired Miss Hilly?” scene from The Help when they see maga women on tv/socials? just me? must say, it brings me such satisfaction. trying times, little things….😌

spending this last day of the holiday “break” soaking in epsom salts, doing a deep dive on Ethan Hawke, discovering a new book on creativity + magic 🥹, and my current fiction obsession, Pleistocene-era animals in modern day British Colombia.

years ago after my grandfather passed, I started making New Year’s Day to honor him and our southern roots. this is a (delicious, hearty) spell.

@mishacollins.bsky.social my daughter, Melia, was born on #SupernaturalDay & her very 1st favorite tv character was #Castiel. can she get a 20th bday wish from you?🙏🏼2️⃣0️⃣

I can’t be the only Gen X’er who says to their daughters “I used to dress just like that!” only to hear “Whatever, Mom” 🙄 seriously, tho. flowy skirts. midi tops. high boots. high waist/flare cut jeans. Like, you’re welcome for the inspiration….

the people most happy about this were my kids 🥹
