All moved into my new craft room!! (Just don't look at the rest of the house...)

1. I love this 2. Neither of them uses their turntable lol

There are some items I'm not comfortable having movers move for me. Some are very expensive, while others are priceless.

Professional photos from the 1940a ball are up! It's me and Patrick, but mostly Patrick, at a swing dance lesson ☺️

This was more difficult but still fun! I drew him and then I was like "ah shit now I have to draw a plane" #art

Big day for drawing! I sketched a person and it doesn't suck? #art

1940s Ball tonight! The hair is cooking...

I turned on the match, saw the US is up 2-0, and straight up googled "is Australia bad at soccer because they are good at rugby" (Please note I do not know this type of ball)

The Milky Way over Mills Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park this past Tuesday night. I did a little solo hike to this lake and ended up waiting four hours for the core to align properly and the clouds to clear. I’m pretty proud of the result!

I think the Island Scrub-Jay became one of my favorite birds on my trip to Santa Cruz Island earlier this year! I love their big personalities and deep blue feathers (inb4 "blue feathers aren't real"). I wrote about finding them and shared my favorite photos! rachelleggett.com/finding-isla... 🪶

Still working through publishing some Channel Islands stuff! Here is a short video of a beautiful Island Scrub-Jay foraging on the forest floor 💙 🪶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2XK...

I'm brushing up on Python and it feels like it's ten years ago (derrogatory) Which is not a dig at Python but rather at myself ten years ago

Until Michigan gets a women's flag football team (which does not seem likely any time soon; looking at you, hockey), I think I'll become an Eastern women's flag fan 😤 mitten-football.ghost.io/eastern-mich...
