Thank you so much for the mention, Fran! This post was wonderful, so full of good thoughts to contemplate (while knitting, for me ;) ). And you gave us flowers, too!

I've been piecing by hand while listening to audio books or just enjoying my own thoughts. I haven't quilted since I started writing for Substack. it feels really good to get back to it.

Loved the opening photo, its composition and contracts. Also, I just can't stop thinking of the wonderful private space that deck on the garage must be. Maybe not so private, but above the street and able to see the world from a different perspective. It's a good use of space to have a garage-top deck.

Thank you for the plug for Sere. It was an inspiring prompt you gave us all and I hope others followed suite.

I look forward to your opinion of The Comfort of Crows. I bought the book a couple of months ago and started reading it, but occasionally slips in a word, a phrase, indeed an entire sentence that indicts humanity as the destroyer of worlds. But that's just my trigger. I put the book in the thrift store bag for someone else to enjoy. I hope you do.

We have tons of lavender around our house as well as catmint, a similar plant that our bees LOVELOVELOVE! I think ours is the French lavender, a darker purple, and very hearty for this dry environment.

An absence of crows here. A few old ones I talk to. It’s big sky here where I live just east of gateway.
