Reading aloud to the leaves and branches, whilst optional, is highly encouraged. Words are best, after all, when they are shared.

Daily Diversion #142: New Studio View

Take two: first-floor view from the front porch.
The studio will be ready next week. I can hardly wait.

Daily Diversion #120: Internet Goblins, My Adorable Dog, and a Sad Looking Tree
Those pesky Internet-stealing Goblins struck again last night. Since I can only write so many sentences with ease on my phone, all of the lovely posts I had planned for today (and possibly tomorrow) are temporarily on hold. Here are a couple of random photos to tide you over.
