Loved this “nothing post”! Absolutely perfect! Made me immediately want to just draw little snippets of what I’ve been up to. Your sketching is so lovely, and your poem. And i bloody mother fucking love that song too!!

I wonder if nature appreciates your energy as much I as your writing.

"I Could Have Raked All Night, But Didn't" is now my favorite but I'll leave room for it's replacement.

Have Toots & Yedda arrived yet?

Also, hello.....

I think the land and I get on well together. Let’s see what it looks like this spring! For know it is still a bit log a pig pen. 🤣 They haven’t arrived! I looked back and one year they didn’t settle in until later in March. Other years February. It is mysterious! They are mysterious. And hello!
