Oh, my. Such a powerful PB. It's like an intricate miniature of our history ... traveling our street, our timeline. Amazing book. Thanks for sharing, Karen Krossing. #kidlit #writingcommunity

Fable has mad skills as a cucumber pointer. A must-have helper in the chaos garden when Greek salad is on the menu!

I love this wildly productive time when the garden is going mad with flowers and fruit ... and I'm flinging out words like zucchini! #writingcommunity #kidlit #amquerying

Just saw this! Yeah, kinda, but I actually ping off the horse's bored, or interested reactions ... probably based on my own inflection and energy, but they do react in different ways to my verbal wanderings!

I tell the story to my horses. Literally sit on a mounting block surrounded by my horses and tell them the story. Then I wonder out loud with them. Somehow, in that horse discussion, the story moves!

Every bloom reminds me to pray for nurses. It's a tough profession. Stay safe, keep burnout away, my colleagues! Thankful for a wonderful class of nursing students who gifted me this lovely plant when they graduated a few years ago. #nursing #caregivers #nursesky

Teens flock to companion bots despite risks Nearly three-quarters of teens have chatbot friends, according to a new survey.

74% of teens use AI for friendship. Half talk to their AI friend EVERY DAY. One-third report the AI has said something that makes them uncomfortable.

AI friendship bots are a freight train headed for our kids. It's malpractice not to protect them.

Yup. Impostor syndrome doesn't care about any past success ... it's kind of like that Jack-in-Box pop up that scares the heck out of kids the first 101 times they play with it. Then, it doesn't. You just sort of realize it's going to happen! And carry on. πŸ˜„

Berry is in a mood. Berry is fueling the energy of a character who is pushing everyone away with his chaotic frustration at LIMITS! A whole acre of wooded, bushy, goaty bliss, but he is preferring to bash things where I can note his displeasure. Berry would like to be driving the tractor.
