i made my teens this diagram of dating options. wonder if they’ll pay any attention to it. (we like different, but it’s not all good dating material)

And amen. (Mary Oliver, “It Was Early”)

🥾 today’s hiking church — couple of inches of snow made it so pretty.
what am I missing here… preview looks fine, published post is all [[[()()([][][]
Lately my youngest has expressed an interest in religion, which is fine. But I gotta say it’s a little weird when she brings home church info from a friend. I’ve talked to the Mom of this friend before and I think there’s a bit of (attempted) proselytizing in play. I don’t mind at all if my kiddo wants to go to church with a friend but it’s funny/weird to be in this position, being a recipient of “outreach” from the religion I grew up in.

Great finds from favorite authors at my last used bookstore visit.

Also Zeke did great. He won 3/5 matches but most importantly worked hard to be ready, did his best, and had a great attitude.

Nice when a one-hour wait between kid drop off and pickup is near a decent tap house

Do you ever think: “Nothing matters” or “I’m doing it all wrong” or “What’s the point?”
Sometimes I think that too.
Then I go outside.
Beautiful morning for a run.🏃♀️

Morning sky

The kids' bus was very late today, so I had to cut my run short & drive them to school. Since I was in the car & near the park, I stopped for a quick loop through the trails and got to enjoy these views (just as this song was playing). Sometimes what you get is better than what you planned.
Such a beautiful day for #hikingchurch. The colors are lighting up.
I love @effinbirds every day but especially on days like today when I had a particularly infuriating conversation.

Got to give an ultrasound to a sheep (she’s having twins!) at the State Tech open house. My oldest is planning to attend here next year to learn welding.
