Today feels like spring. There have been signs that we might finally be out of winter, which has been hanging around throwing snow and yelling "GOTCHA!" a lot this year. Some are good, some are…well, not so good. On the good side, the male mourning cloak butterfly is flying his serious little patrol around the house. […]
Here’s another thing they don’t ever warn you about…. I got a very nice note from a library asking if I would be interested in coming to Minnesota to do a program for teens, since I was the illustrator on the summer reading program posters. "What kind of programs can you do, and what are your […]
So last night, I was invited to dinner. The pro–good restaurant, free food. The con–it was a meal sponsored by Kevin’s church for a visiting representative of the Lutheran Synod, which meant I was going to be dining with three pastors, their wives, and a couple of members of Kevin’s church, who are generally nice people, although […]

Where do you belong?" but I have generally found that yelling at sketchbook doodles just makes people look at you funny, and the drawings don’t actually answer you. (If they start, THEN I’ll worry.) I have cut them out […]
There is a pileated woodpecker busily excavating a hole in a tree outside. (The tree is missing a top and has no pine needles, a fact which I only noticed today–the front yard is a pretty heavily wooded area.) He’s really quite fast–the hole has gotten nearly as big as his head, and there wasn’t […]
It occurs to me, following various conversations I’ve had over the last few weeks, that I should probably make this statement. Most of you know it, or at least suspect it, but just in case some of you haven’t been here the full length of the blog and have mistakenly gotten the wrong impression–this is […]
