Sharing again. Iβm in a really tough spot and Iβm trying to stay positive.

You know me I don't share fundraisers unless I can tell you I trust them with my whole heart and my own wallet. This one gets protective gear to legal observers in Minneapolis / Saint Paul

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing βHey-Oh, we wonβt be silent while our friends are gunned down.β
Really listen to it.
ppl like to talk abt the Olympics and pro sports but in reality laws banning trans girls from playing womenβs sports mostly impact children. Look at this girl. Sheβs a fucking baby and her state spent days, weeks, months crafting legislation specifically to bully her

Much love and peace to your heart and household. They leave such big spaces behind.
I hate that negativity gets all the amplification by social media algorithms.
Letβs amplify LOVE instead.
I am beaming love at you. Right now.
Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.
While a hazy sun rises in the south-east, a flock of Canada Geese pauses in their journey to pick at a just-mowed cornfield.
Stopped to watch the Canada geese picking over a just-shorn cornfield this morning. The last of the leaves are lingering on the apple trees in the background, but with the wind storms weβve been having they wonβt last much longer. Autumn has been glorious this year.
Sharing this yet again. I appreciate the kindness and support. Mom is still dealing with her post surgery issues. Iβm trying to keep us both afloat and hard when Iβm disabled.
Happy Birthday! I hope this new year brings you every good thing
I have them too! I love them so much. I watch them close up the openings of their little ground-houses when it rains.

For those of us who are disabled or prohibited from protesting for any reason, here are ways we can help.
I canβt take a service dog to a protest, itβs unsafe for him but also for others around us.
I can do some of these.

Need to keep witches out of your house? People used to bake witch cakes to hang behind their doors.
I made a number of them for my book A Feast of Folklore about Britain's weird food lore. But it here: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/a-fe...

I have adored those ridiculous things my whole life. I laugh every time I see them.
π± BREAKING:
The lightning bugs have arrived early in West Central Georgia! They're still high in the trees but as long as this weather keeps, they'll be on the ground soon & dancing their mating dance soon. Soon we'll be hearing chuck wills widows calling (similar to whipoorwills).
I'm so excited!

A view of a field-garden from last year in mid-spring. Multiple crop mingle, including cutting flowers. There is an orchard on a rise behind the lowlands, and rolling, semi-desert hills above that.
Weβre wading into a nice Taurus moon now, through all of Tuesday, and itβs a great time to plant cold-hardy crops if your ground is workable. Taurus moons are excellent for root crops and okay for above ground food & flowers. Iβve got onion and lettuce seeds going in! #GardenSky #GardenWitch
Come home to spring, soon!
A morning view of a bare orchard, rolling hills in the background, the grass greening in the early spring sunlight.
March arrives with an early warmth that almost instantly greens the land. I am feverishly hoping for stone fruit this summer after our valley lost all its crops last year due to late freezes. Nothing is foreseeable anymore, but there is sunshine and birdsong and a fresh month to wade into.
