My mother is an artist.
I love her work to pieces.
Some shown here.

Fully.

Seven ceramic bowls, made of varying hues of blues, tans, and browns, sit aligned in a row on a rough-plank porch railing-stained dark brown-high above a red brick patio.

“In-between Places” by #AlexKillian and #GradyMcFerrin is a wonderful book about transitions. It’s about those moments between. The simple text moves from statement to metaphor and is accompanied by rich illustrations. It’s a perfect book to explore those moments of uncertainty. #PicturebookPage

Thank you! I found more! Funny thing is, now that I remember planting them, I remember thinking I would forget I had done so, and be surprised 🤩

Happy gift to me!
I forgot I planted these last fall… seeing their blooms on a rainy gray morning earlier this week surprised and delighted me!

Drafted a new PB

Seems like my writing progress was somewhat miraculous this weekend
