When he came to us they said Saluki Mix. But he is 100% Arabian Village Dog, which is really the original Saluki!

Here’s my boy

Debbie, that dog looks exactly like my rescue from Quatar!! Do you know that pup’s origin?

I read it, and just bought the follow up. Walking is everything!

Hikers—a dad, a mom, a child, and a toddler gaze from a high elevation upon volcanic peaks, snowy areas, and distant bodies of water

A white haired elderly woman in yellow pants and an orange sweater sits in a pale blue chair reading to a large old sugar maple in a vast green meadow

Two black girls and a black woman explore and nature in a deep forest of old growth and younger cedars. They try to join hands around a giant tree, they balance on a log while a deer watches, they get on hands and knees to look at a slug

Happy Earth Day, friends! Do something extra today to show your care for our one and only Earth! These spreads come from my books Climbing the Volcano, Maple and Rosemary, and The Camping Trip. #earthday #earthday2025 #picturebooks

Lil’ ol’ Bainbridge Island, WA.

Oh sheesh

I’m sorry you experienced that!

Have you watched The Detectorists? It’s funny and wonderful and gives a fictionalized glimpse into how rare it is to find even a tiny treasure. This hoard is remarkable!

Did it Wednesday. What a relief!

We all could use a warm summer morning, full of hope. (wip—more soon)

Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.
