I'd be so grateful if you read my book review of Patrick Madden's gorgeous essay collection over at Inside Higher Ed. Huge thanks to John Griswold for fantastic editing of my review--and for publishing it. Your clicks through to read the review make a huge difference! Thank you.

Lowdown Lake Walkies

If you're feeling blue from all the terrible news, it's important to be grateful for the small things in life.

Like lowdown walkies along a gorgeous lake.

Lots of love,
Tootsie & her mom

#tbt -- Flight Practice

Throwback Thursday is for my friend Danna who knows how ready I am to fly.

I practice and practice and still end up with my paws on the ground or in mom's arms.

But I want to fly!

We love you, Danna.

From "death mix" by Deborah Poe:

leaf-green heart of shadow looks at itself

there comes a stillness, comes this storm

which crossing awakens?
