Closing in on 14K words with two days left to go. Should make it and then some. And I didn’t start until day 2!

Day 7 of the 1000 words of summer challenge and I am almost at 7k words… catching up after having missed the first day. Having fun with this!

All five accordion books for an upcoming show now completed. Now for the slipcases…

New addition to the everyday mandala series…

My book trimming station…

Apparently I was equal parts productive and creative with my screen time yesterday, and only a little bit distracted by social media…

Are we talking Story of O bad things? Bonnie and Clyde bad things? Or Thelma and Louise bad things?

OMG, Cindy Sherman…

Finally got a complete print of my accordion book, 15 Days by the Sea. The show can go on! Assuming I don’t screw up with the trimming and folding. I am quitting for today to reduce the odds of that.

Made it to the Block!

Smooth sailing to point Judith. Waiting to back the car onto the ferry…

Off to Block Island at sunrise…

Curing salmon again…

My dog Fiona adores me!

This is the kind of thing that baffles me. Obvious care was taken to place the empty can in a particular spot. Why not take just a little more care and get it to a trash can?

From this morning’s walk…

From this afternoon…

Odd juxtaposition…

My wife Holly in her happy place…

Chives and Tarragon overwintered so we have an early abundance. Making a classic french omelette with these herbs…

Outside the public library…

This event was supposed to happen three years ago… I found the short story I wrote, dusted it off, and I am ready to go. Can’t wait.
