Well @clarkesworld , we did it. It took buying a house, birthing a couple of babies, and raising them to adulthood, but we have managed to pull off a 30-year April Fools Day prank 😜
Happy Anniversary ❤️

Good morning from my "desk" ☕

Hi. It's me. I haven't posted here much lately bec

Hi. It's me. I haven't posted here much lately because:

1. I have VERY mixed feelings about Instagram right now
2. These are trying times for me, both personally and politically, and I don't really want to pour my heart out online, since it never sounds as good in print as it does in my head anyway
3. A lighthearted "look at my new sweater" post doesn't always feel like the right tone, when so many of us are going through stuff

But here I go anyway. Because maybe you want a distraction from being in your own head, too.

Look at my new sweater (pics 3 and 4), which I started knitting in late 2023, let sit nearly finished for over a year, and then actually completed last month. I like it a lot. It's tweedy and colorful, and comfy. My plan was to write up and publish the pattern, and maybe I will someday, but right now, I feel meh about the work that would entail, and I'm not adding any "meh" tasks to my to-do list that aren't absolutely necessary. Self care, boys and girls :-)

Also, while you're here, look at my barrettes. I've been thinking about cutting my hair short again, but I really like making barrettes (pic 4) to match everything I own. Every time I cut my hair, I sadly put the barrettes back into storage. I don't really want to sadly put the barrettes back into storage yet. Because I am also not adding anything "sad" to my to-do list that isn't absolutely necessary.

On the other hand, I do have these tiny barrettes (pic 1) that I sometimes use to clip back my bangs, and I could make more of them, and I can use them with short hair. So, I don't know. Maybe I will cut it. Probably not, though. Not yet.

Anyway, if you've endured this stream-of-consciousness this far, thank you. And if you're hanging out on other social media these days, and want to connect with me, check the Polka Dot Cottage link in my bio. It contains links to where you can find me these days.

I was thinking, I should take a picture of this ring I'm wearing, and maybe hold a cup of coffee at the same time. And then I thought, maybe I already have too many pictures like that. Looking through my photos, I EASILY found these ten. And there are more.

I'm still probably going to take another one, because I don't yet have a picture of *this* ring while I'm wearing *these* clothes and drinking *this* coffee 🤣

Gloomy Monday in the #GreatSwampNationalWildlifeRefuge in #newjersey

Pro tip: If you want the whole place to yourself, show up on a rainy weekday afternoon less than an hour before dusk. It's beautiful, quiet, and just a tiny bit creepy 🤩
