This is very good news.

This is big: North Carolina Democrats broke the Republican legislative supermajority in their state, restoring veto power to the governor’s office, held on to important Council of State offices, and kept a Democrat in the governor's seat. 💪



A day. 2000 acres a day.

Our research suggests that we’re losing 2,000 acres of farm and ranch land a day in the U.S. to development or other uses that jeopardize farming. Learn more about how we're working to protect our nation's agricultural land: bit.ly/3UkMKZ6.



To read thoroughly when I get home. I wish more farmers in my area were protective enough of their way of life to resist the money offered by developers. And that the electeds supported that.

The conflating of ‘farming’ and feudal aristocrats in this piece is breathtakingly daft - a genuinely progressive land policy is possible but it isn’t this budget Farmers have hoarded land for too long. IHT will bring new life to rural Britain | W Hutton theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Something lovely for the weekend! Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age. Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, evidence of long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago. 📷 National Museum of…

On Sunday, the Moon moves through Gemini. When the Moon is in Gemini, expect your brain to act like it's had way too much coffee. Conversations come fast, ideas bounce around like a pinball machine, and multitasking becomes your middle name. You might start ten projects…

Love seeing the old bridge out on the backroads of Mendota, Virginia. Fall makes it even more beautiful.

I'm noting people leaving this platform quite dramatically. Most I dont remember ever seeing before. Important to make an exit, I suppose.


The Hobbit?

saw someone say that The Hobbit is too difficult a book for teenagers, and I really think part of the problem is adults with such low expectations that they think kids can’t handle a book famously written for children.

On Friday morning, before the Full Moon occurs in Taurus, Saturn turns direct in Pisces. Saturn in Pisces means it’s time to get your dreamy, emotional self in order. Think of it like trying to organize a cloud—it's tricky, but doable. Time to slap some structure on those…


I'm a 1 today. You?

Yes, please.

As someone who adores Susanna Clarke's writing, I cannot wait to start reading her latest book. And just look at this gorgeous cover by Victoria Sawdon.

Today was stranger than I thought it would be. I ended it driving thru Biltmore Village for the first time since the storm and it truly broke me. My hands were shaking on the steering wheel & I kept chattering away. Holy mothers. Now wine. Much wine.

I am so sorry to see this. What a marvelous human being.


Why are there no cookies in this house? Why?


I cleaned the dust off my fiddle case this morning and checked the bow. #portends


A good day for a day off! When did I last have one? Ah, abt 3 weeks back when I had surprise gum surgery. Not today, good doctor. Not today!

On Tuesday, Mercury squares Saturn in Pisces. Feeling like your brain's stuck in molasses? That’s Mercury squaring off with Saturn, the cosmic equivalent of getting a lecture from your grumpy boss. Conversations might feel like walking through a mental obstacle course, and…
