Getting a head start on weeding my garden beds is highly satisfying. #GardenSky
First morning prayer on the front porch this year. Life is good. #littlejoys
good morning β
This.
My gender is Dorothy L. Sayers ("not very feminine, but intensely female") and/or Jo Walton ("this is a perfectly valid way to be a woman"). I absolutely refuse either to perform MAGA womanhood, or to cede womanhood to them.
I need to get going on the first two books in this one!
Welcome to my mind palace.
I need details too!
Much Ado About Nothing.
Much Ado About Nothing.
Tiny yellow agarita flowers blooming against a backdrop of waxy, thorny blue-green leaves.
Spring.
Daffodils on Glastonbury Tor in that early morning light with Angel like clouds above St Michael's tower.
A very happy Old English Bulldog.
A stone bird bath with a vertical Celtic carving.
Luna and I walked to the community garden in our neighborhood where we noticed a carving on the bird bath we hadn't seen before. Did you notice something new today? #bulldogmom #amwalking #selfcare
So true.
#Lent and #Ramadan are at the same time this year, and I've been thinking about the brothers Isaac and Ishmael.

Unwinding from the day with a lapful of bulldog and a cup of tea. I hope you're finding a way to escape the world, unwind, and be kind to yourself. #bulldogmom #quietnight

Lord of all nations,
You created us from the same love and for the same hope. Guide the hands of leaders and protect the innocent wherever fear reigns.
Teach us to be instruments of Your peace - to choose compassion over hatred, dialogue over division and courage over silence.
Amen.
Discipline when buying books is a struggle we share. So hard.

That it may please thee to make wars to cease in all the world; to give to all nations unity, peace, and concord; and to bestow freedom upon all peoples,
We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord.
Happy anniversary!
This one hits hard.
Today started with pΔ czki, and now I'm burying my alleluia. Then it's onto The Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner at church on my way to teach my ESL class. I like that Lent and Ramadan are at the same time this year. Happy Fat Tuesday all!
