When I was in Grade 5 or 6, I was walking home from school when I saw a bunch of boys in front of one of their houses looking inside a big box in the yard. These boys were definitely on the bully spectrum and when I saw one of them looked up at me, I knew something bad was about to happen.
I ran as hard as I could to my house and when I reached the safety of my own yard, I turned around to see what horror the boy was intent on inflicting on me. He stood there grinning, waving a snake in my face.
“Oh, is that all it is?” I asked. “A snake???” I moved closer to get a better look.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more disappointed look in my life.
I saw this beauty sunning himself when I was walking around Lake Elkhorn in Columbia, Maryland.
I’m not sure what kind of tree this is, but the flowers are really gorgeous.
These are my favourite socks. I bought them almost 10 years ago in Antarctica and lost one of them before I moved to the D.C. are in 2010. I will not throw out the remaining one because I’m convinced the moment I do so I *will* find the mate.
To be fair, a couple of years ago I did find a bunch of linens I thought I had lost in the move. (They were in a box wrapped around my sewing machine, which tells you how often I use THAT…)

Oh, and have I mentioned…?
Wonderful thread. Best wishes to all those observing Passover and Easter this weekend!
1. Today, something incredible happened. And I will tell this story via Twitter, which is fitting for how this incredible thing came to be.

Birds and Blooms I get a number of these visiting my yard. Here are a few pics I got of a very flexible red-bellied woodpecker about a month ago.
Maybe I’ll even have to become a regular beer drinker just to support them.
