Pretty strong storm moved through early this morning, so I left for work later than usual. Feels like I've been running behind all day since. At least we got the new planting beds ready this weekend.

A couple more photos to close out the day

Signs of spring in the hollow 🌞🌸

Having coffee and watching the squirrels as they have breakfast 🐿️

I always have to share these with a disclaimer: Not my tree, not my property. 🤣

Few things make me as happy as a pizza bowl 😋

My favorite photo from Krackow 😍

Sadly my vacation has come to an end. There were so many amazing things to see and do and I cannot wait to go back.

My favorite piece of art seen during my trip: Tadeusz Ajdukiewicz, Portrait of Helena Modrzejewska, 1880

Going to miss this when I get home. Getting used to being spoiled by big breakfasts.

Really enjoying my time in Poland

Really love this wallpaper at my hotel

Something in me loves a good doorway 🚪

Just landed in Copenhagen.

Waiting for departure, trying not to think any deep thoughts

I could happily stay like this for another week. Sadly, the storm has passed and we'll go back to normal temps soon.

Beautiful but child in the Hollow today.

Been awhile since I shared some good #fungi. Here's what's popping in the hollow right now. 🍄 #mushroom

Getting excited for an upcoming trip to Krackow in February. 🌏✈️

Wishing you all a very happy New Year.

Foggy morning here in Florida. Loved being here with my daughter but I'm looking forward to getting back to the Hollow.

Drive to Florida was really beautiful in a post-apocalyptic way 😍

Love where I live ❣️

It's a shake you can't smell this photo

Sometimes my neighbors worry me. Far too dry to just burn leaves on the side of the road.

Been awhile since I shared, so here's a beautiful sunrise.

Every time I see a headline or question like this I hear: Have you seen your kids using calculators? Do they even know how to do the math?

Today's mushroom 🍄

So many bunnies this year! Glad we fenced the garden. #wildlife #rabbits

I'm so excited! Our organization is getting an intern from the #sociology department, which means we can finally tackle the important work of quantitative and qualitative analysis of our records.

Missed work yesterday bc of health issues. Dr wanted me to increase my medication, but it makes me sleep. He prescribed a secondary that won't make me sleepy. Of course it knocks me out, too. Meanwhile work gets more stressful because I'm not there and stress is a trigger. 🤷‍♀️

I always love seeing the beautiful butterflies that make their home in our hollow 🦋

Today's adventure: overnight pickles.

Today's garden haul. Made fresh pasta sauce - so good 😊

The garden is doing well despite the heat. Thankful to my sister for the prescient installation of the shade cloth.

Garden update. It's I'm excited - the first of the black beauty eggplants will be ready to harvest soon.

I used to say I couldn't understand the way medical providers treat patients (or more accurately, don't), but then someone started explaining the sin of #empathy to me and it was like a light turning on in the dark. #chronicillness #healthcare

Stopped by Market at the Mill in Pickens, SC today. Really enjoyed it - so many cool finds!

Layover seems like the perfect time to celebrate #zoology with two of my favorite photos. I took these during a trip to the Nashville zoo.

Heading to California for a conference today. A few photos from the ATL ➡️ MDW portion of the trip.

Happy #flowersonfriday - here's a butterfly on my wildflowers. I'm starting my day listening to the birds grey the sun and sipping coffee on the porch. There's a rather vociferous Scarlet tanager competing with the local titmouse population for loudest call and honestly I think it's winning.

Think sociology is useless? You’re living in a world built by it. Labor laws, mental health care, even how we define poverty—all shaped by sociologists. Let’s talk history. 🧵

From the garden today. Anyone have a solid #pickle #recipe?

I worked on Fisher Island many years ago. Most island travel is by golf cart. I was driving my own one day and had a near miss with Oprah and her best friend at a blind corner.

“One of the most important signs of democratic erosion is not when elections are lost, but when citizens and institutions lose the freedom to express themselves, when independent journalism is threatened or suppressed, and when protest is criminalized or violently repressed.”

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

A few videos off the camera roll.
