K-Cups don't have to be horrible. Here are some small roasters that I have found that make incredible K cups. And some of my favorite of their offerings. If you are also incredibly picky about your coffee, but wed to the convenience of the Keurig, where are you getting your coffee? #coffee #keurig

First publication of the year and it took me this long to realize that it was out. Yeah it's been that kind of January. Very very happy to see my poems "The Tiger Fungus Roams" and "The Goddess of Creation Has a Nightmare" included in this issue. sfpoetry.org/wp/starline/... #poetry

Dear Peacock,

I tuned in for the ice dance and men's final. I've already watched the women. Why are you redoing them? I hope you get your act together before Milan.

And it's out! From Island of Wak-Wak. If you like goddesses, this is for you. A healthy dose of feminine rage too.

"Lyrical, unflinching, and alive with defiance, this chapbook is a recital of divine women who have had enough."

Incredible! Saturday morning's sunrise -- ahead of the rain forecast this afternoon -- was a stunner.

CWG's Kevin Ambrose caught this pair of fantastic shots.

The adage seems prescient: Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.

I guess my fawn daycare, Leen's Noms & Naps, is open for business. These two's mom grabbed some dinner then went out for drinks with the girls. Fawns are confused--first day at daycare is always challenging. One is sleeping just outside fence, always gotta be a rebel. #deer #summerinvirginia #fawns
