I've been story boarding the magic through line of my memoir. But flirtatious, fierce winds threw branches at the power lines. Threw me back a hundred years to work by candle and lamp light. Yeah, nope. How did people do this? I'm grateful for my #jackery, so I can really see.

On the edge of in between, surrounded by the bare bones of winter, petals open their mouths to kiss the face of spring.

On the first full day of my second #DRAFT workshop, I greeted the morning with a hike uphill, into the chaparral. There was #beauty and #dramatictension everywhere.

For all of my friends who are in the blizzard, this is just a reminder that the snow does, eventually, melt.

When you hand your 23-year-old son the first 150 pages of your new manuscript, all about when you were in your twenties, and he gets so absorbed he doesn't notice you taking his picture.

Lunch with my dear friend @reni.roxas, who always does show and tell. This time she brought three beautiful new books from @tahananbooks, her Filipino children's books publishing house. One is about friendship, one is about the diaspora coming home, and one is all about the coronavirus, explained for kids in straight talk by a scientist. Christmas, anyone? @anjanimillet @sopranotessaltiveros #filipina #diaspora #diasporafilipinos

On the way back from @writingxwriters Manuscript B

On the way back from @writingxwriters Manuscript Boot Camp in Tahoe last week, we stopped just this side of the Columbia River on Hwy 97, to see this reproduction of Stonehenge. It's all in concrete, built to look like the original before the ravages of time. It's a Veterans memorial, each column tagged with the name of a man who died in the first World War. The Great War. The War to End All Wars. This part of the Columbia is well known for its wind. As we crossed over the water, even though it was mid-November, someone was out there windsurfing. In a wet suit. But still. We like to find ways to be brave and to feel alive.

What's that? Oh, just a bear in my neighbor's tree. It fell out, this morning, and sat stunned in her driveway for the longest time. But then it rallied, and, being a bear and all, climbed back up. Barry, she's named it.

Usually I go for pretty pictures. I live in the country, and love it. But I also appreciate a sense of humor. Fact of country living- septic tanks need to be emptied. Note the license plate.
