And this morning the Shed is a sunken ship on the ocean floor: a home for corals and angel fish…

There is a technical term for this cloud formation but I am sticking with candyfloss sky 😂Photo taken this morning here in Glastonbury. I also put the drone up a bit later so those photos still to follow. It's a long time since I have seen a sky quite that vivid.

Golden archway at dawn. This morning's photo from Glastonbury Tor.

And this morning the Shed is a secret library, hidden behind a door in the wall of an overgrown orchard of quinces and vines, and hemlock waist-deep in the silence...

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A burly man with a sturdy tum (40s?) is standing next to a vintage Triumph, smiling affectionately as he helps his son (12?) zip his leather jacket up. Mist in distant green valleys. A rainbow overhead. Perfect day for a ride with the boy. (1)

Gerald's first gallery show.

Got one of those in my neighborhood. She’s a lean mean mole-killing machine though—no diet required. Saw her pic on a community facebook by someone who was worried about her. Don’t have an account so couldn’t tell her “Lady, she ain’t lost!” 🤣

On July 2nd national book banning bill HR 7661 was placed on the Union Calendar making it eligible for full consideration on the floor of the House. We don't KNOW if it will be, but the timing suggests they're trying to sneak it in during a relatively quiet time of the year. So it's time to act...

Another beautiful start to the day here in Glastonbury. St Michael's tower bathed in gold shortly after sunrise.

And this morning the Shed is a vial of moonlight, stored in darkness.

🧵Spotted At the Beach in Aotearoa New Zealand: A weka* is VERY curious about a sandwich currently being absent-mindedly held by a man sitting in a beach chair, reading a paperback. If Weka is very quiet... And very sneaky... And sidles up like this... Maybe... It shall have that sandwich... (1)

Verify your age? I began life in bellbottoms, grew into jelly shoes, then graduated to bodysuits. 🤣

I chose a nice morning for my first trip up Glastonbury Tor for a little while. I took it slowly but it was so worth it. Sunburst welcome.

And this morning the Shed is a lake house, overlooking the water...

🧵Spotted at a Matariki* Night Market in Aotearoa New Zealand: A young human (8?) is being address by his incredulous mum who's saying: "I gave ya $36 dollars! You went to get a donuts! Where's the change?!" Young Human looks sheepish. "I uhm... got a lot of donuts?" (1)

OMG

Tangerine sky. This morning's sunrise in Glastonbury.

Experimenting again. I cut the Lino last year then lost confidence. I hope to cut some more very soon so I can experiment some more ❤️

And this morning the Shed is a house in the woods, all lined with moss and feathers…

We insist that our library kids get to grow old. Protect them at all costs. Let them play, let them learn, let them be loved, keep them safe 💛

So pretty! 🤩

Kids today have lost the fine art of bullshitting a 10 page paper from a single Funk & Wagnalls entry or from reading only the CliffsNotes. 🤣

While at the Fred Rogers Institute, was not prepared for the feelings of seeing the last cardigan the mom of Mister Fred Rogers ever knit for him 🥹🩶✨

It’s out for delivery! 😃

This is…just…extraordinary. It’s art, that glasswork is. The time, the effort, imagination, the passion you’d HAVE to have for it. It would have to be humbling to be in its presence. 🤯

A small price to pay for their company. 🐾

Mellow magic. It was a lovely start to the day here in Glastonbury today. Have a fabulous Friday and weekend. ☀️🧡

And this morning the Shed is an imaginary bedroom under the dappled trees, all lit with dancing fireflies...

Last Dance by Donna Summer. 😁

🧵Spotted at a free Light Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand: Four small humans (3 to 6?) are engaged in an amateur Puddle Jump Championship. They have found the BIGGEST puddle and are doing the HUGEST leaps across. Arms flailing, crowing triumphantly when they succeed. This is FUN! (1)
