Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

After decades without, I have one of these in my life again. I am ridiculously happy about it.

On Saturday, this floated into my yard. I keep thinking about who it might have belonged to and hoping they are OK. A friend said to frame it, but it was much too fragile. It crumbled to pieces not long after I took the photo. It stopped long enough to be seen and remembered. And now it’s gone.

this is kind of a niche issue but: if you are getting weird and hostile responses that feel a little off, there are some folks on here making accounts that automatically reply to large quantities of posts in a vaguely hostile manner. you can ignore them, and also, it's not personal

These are my favorite shoes. They walk me into the most splendid adventures!

This was one of yesterday’s delights
