library haul on the old bench from blackhawk island

quite delighted edition // observe ten. days 2863–4. (monday + tuesday, may 5 & 6, 2025) // 1. starting the week with a zoom and so many brainstorms for our new substack. never underestimate a pair of witches and a whole bunch of books. // 2. talking about the magic of libraries makes me want to put on some pants and get to, well, the library. it’s really the only place i ever want to be other than home/the backyard. // 3. leftover homemade dill pickle pizza for lunch. // 4. zinnia seeds. dill. garlic chives. cosmos. i’d like a bit of rain to water them in. now to plant all the pots and planters. // 5. the bliss when alexa announces that my washer is done. // 6. zones. systems. routines. what can we implement to make life better over here? // 7. i type “forgotten pear” instead of “rotten pear” several times. the brain fog is real, y’all. i thought it had lifted last week… i guess it just wasn’t as permanent as i’d hoped. // 8. i am so excited i yell the whole time. volume modulation isn’t one of my strong suits. // 9. i tell her the story of the vegan cookbook situation, and when i retell simon how i shared the story, i am laugh-crying with abandon. // 10. bedtimes have been a disaster this week. there’s just so much going on and not enough hours in the day. // #memory #magic #writing #ordinarymagic #dailylife #observeten #list #memories #reallife #ordinarylife #poemnotes #dailypractice #beherenow #weareinthistogether #storytelling #weareourstories #thesacredordinary #thepresentmoment #memoriesrealandimagined #swimminginallthefeels #beloveds #iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou #whatmattersmost #keepshowingup #trusttheprocess #idreamtofyouallsummerlong
