me rocking francis: when i put him down, im going to fold laundry, read my book, meal plan, do some writing

francis: *eyes flutter*

me: maybe i'll just have time to brush my teeth

naptime is an incredible invention.

lol is that slowed down or something??

😮

in my "crossing 'snack' off my to-do list" era

the smoke has come to remind us that we did bad at being on earth

incredible and omg

yay! you really did them justice

ok but why do my 5 month old's pants have bigger pockets than my adult woman pants??

baby on a table at a cafe

sailing into 5 months like wheeeee ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

a barn (the location of marcata recording)

a year ago beams released "requiem for a planet", recorded in this 200 year old barn at the base of the shawangunk mountains in new paltz, NY. it is a magical place - inspiring, transcendent of time. i hope that the album itself is also that.

i've noticed that babies are a little like chainsaws, in that they get loud and crazy when they're running on fumes and then they... go to sleep 💤🪵

tree growing in toilet

somehow we've gotta find a way to be like that little tree.

nice interview! definitely related to a lot of it and cool to hear a bit of your perspective. also, i don't think i'd checked out fester fish, or not in a while anyway, so good haha

sometimes it feels kinda comforting to have someone sit too close on the ttc, like when my cats who hated each other when awake would lean against each other while sleeping

what's the difference between caregiving and caretaking?

i'm in my "chugging a glass of water feels incredible" era

incredible news! i approve 🙌

the incredible shrinking shadow! a few years ago, mike and i went to see our producer's band pelican movement play at the widow jane mine in rosendale NY. it was a hyper-sensory experience for me, and on one of my walks to go take a break, i was amused by this. #shadowplay #widowjanemine

so satisfying!

cool tree

i think this is a pond cypress at the cave hill cemetery and arboretum in louisville. did you know that louisville is MUCH more populated than cincinnati? i didn't. also, i seem to recall that this tree was surrounded by scary geese

the sun

the clouds play an impressive supporting role in this sun moment

at this time last year i was making all kinds of album release and tour plans. now im just planning to find out what week we're in.

i like the one with two beavers chatting!

sweet 36ing! happy belated!

little purple flower and fern

once upon a time i got to dog-sit my friend's german shepherd for a week on her property up north and i saw a lot of beautiful things!

the bridge looks so surreal! big things happening in the east end eh?

nice!!

francis hung out with his pal elio today and they laid the foundation for their life as grumpy old men. they stared out the window together, got hangry, took big poops and then passed out. classic!
