How do the living cows feel about the cow skull? People send weird messages… #cows

My dog Olive on her 7th birthday. A pic of her as a puppy and a llama on the wall AND an actual llama outside that she barked at when I fed it an overripe banana. Making the best out of the curves in the road. #tinyhome #desert #dogbirthdays

Finally #tarot

Been that kind of day #theroad

“I’m not the best, but I am cheap and I will show up.” - Me to the dog I’m petsitting today.

Listening to two old guys talk about their wives and food…”I love chili but Kathy doesn’t. She can’t do beans.” I wonder what else Kathy can’t do… #marriage #keypeninsula

My great grandmother’s grave in Lakeview Cemetery, Seattle. She left behind four children, her only daughter was my grandmother. I gave her 4 sunflowers to remember them. Our stories start somewhere. Mine started here, before I was born. I have been its witness. Now it’s my turn to choose.

Astoria Creative Writing Festival 2025 I got this great selfie with Dayle Olson, met the poet laureate of Oregon (she’s kickass) got to hug Marianne Monson and kept my soul moving towards the light. #wordsmatter

This is my life now.

September 6th, 6 p.m. at Bellingham’s fabulous Village Books, I’ll be joining the talented author Lyanda Lynn Haupt in conversation about my latest book, Sylvan Crone, and likely our common passions of nature connection, nature writing, and the wonders of birds. @villagebookswa.bsky.social

I spent 2024 grieving my father’s death and reflecting on my connection to Nevada. The year resulted in me making a poetry film that considers how landforms have shaped my story. It just got selected for the Nature and Culture Poetry Film Festival in Denmark! #poetryfilm #poetry #nevada

Love isn’t what you say, it’s what you do.

Left of the white rock in the center is a solitary furry ant. You can tell them apart from other ants because they are furry and solitary. #truth

My heart is a cottontail. #rabbits

The last few months I lived in Astoria, I wrote an essay about a kick ass chicken and a king tide event that flooded the Youngs River Valley. It’s out in a super cool Canadian publication called Carte Blanche carteblanchemagazine.com/issue-51/car...

I have a new poem in The Meadow. A literary journal for Truckee Meadows Community College of Nevada. The poem is for my sister, Veronica Lynn Rodriquez who passed 12/15/20 at her home in Winnemucca. #nevada #poetry #sisters

Whoever you are, wherever you go, remember to be a badass bitch.

I have a new poem in Scapegoat Review. As a former scapegoat, this is quite literally poetic justice. www.scapegoatreview.org/spring-2025/... #poetry #scapegoats #poeticjustice
