Kernel panic
Read more…We’re finally here, day zero. My coach suggested I think of myself as a zoo animal that’s suddenly had the stimulation of their daily show taken away. So far I’ve done a lot of pacing in my cage. We have three life events this week, so recovery may be delayed a bit, but I’m doing […]

Today in the garden, Tuesday 7 June
Read more…Spring has been cool and wet, so nothing in the garden is as expected. The lavender, which I thought had been killed by the late winter cold snap, lives! It was the first plant we bought after moving to the island, so I’m really stoked. The monarda (bee balm) behind it is still doing well, […]

Spring in the forest
Read more…Today for the first time since mid-December, enough snow had melted that I could run through the forest. The air smelled sweet and full of new life, and it was warm enough that it didn’t hurt, not my face, my hands or my lungs. Glorious.

Wednesday
Read more…I get stuck writing the title and never write the post. Today is Wednesday. Problem solved. On to the post. It is a wet air day today but the light is so much better this past week, it no longer feels grim. Spring starts slowly, and the magic is renewed. I need to fix the […]

Algorithms
Read more…It’s taken a few years but Spotify has finally started suggesting playlists that are vaguely accurate in terms of what I actually want to listen to. Lol.

Dreaming of summer flowers
Read more…The snow is starting to feel bleak and endless, and I am dreaming of the garden in bloom. I’ve ordered some new flowers for the coming year. I’m excited for these poppies, which should appear not long after the tulips start to fade. I grew the Amazing Grey last year and they were absolutely stunning. […]
