We eased out of Driggs after breakfast and a handmade doughnut at Yeti’s Post and a quick visit to the kind folks at Teton Arts Council. Instead of going back through the parks, we chose highways 33 and 32 to enjoy the flowing hay and wheat fields and small towns in the Teton Valley on…

Before I start the series of posts about our trip to Idaho and Wyoming, I need to sweep out my brain of the things unrelated to that first. So I made a second pot of coffee. Looking at the remnants of Florence from the air. First off, we were not affected here at my house…

^^^Overlooking Jackson Hole from the Teton Pass ^^^The view of the Tetons from the “other” side in Driggs, Idaho, near our AirBNB. We didn’t really have an agenda on Monday so we went looking for a late breakfast and ended up eating at Barrels and Bins, a natural foods grocery in Driggs, which reminded me…

It is technically still morning. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do this morning. The cool breeze on the front porch is delightful and it is so nice to share that space with my cats. Pablocito has taken to sleeping on the swing since Diego has won the battle of territory over the cat…

Ugh, what an awful week the past week was. Back to work, bored out of my mind, no mental energy to do anything much when I got home at night other than numb my anxious mind with playing solitaire and watching TV. I spent time researching emigration to various countries, and reading advice from ex-pats…

What happened to Days One and Two? They went by in a flash and that’s okay. Here’s the agenda for my art retreat/get shit done at home week. The idea is that I choose at least four of these every day to check off. The daily checkbox, in priority order: Get something done you’ve been…

Coffee’s gone, eggs, cheese grits, and leftover chili devoured. Listening to Michelle Wolf’s Netflix show in the background. She is really funny, but there’s a little too much screeching going on, so switching to Radio Heartland. Ah! Mountain Stage. That is perfect. Today is muggy and damp but so far no rain. Sandy finally gave…

This is how it happens. I think this is why it happens. My mind says, “You have to do this! You should do this! You’re a terrible person if you don’t do this!” I start to do it and my body says, “Yeah, baby, I’m shutting this down right now since you didn’t listen to…

I spent so much time on other blogs, Facebook, and Instagram that the morning and the coffee is nearly gone. And some weaving. Here’s the area in “Cathedral” that I’m concentrating on this weekend. I’m deviating from the cartoon in this area, so it’s a bit tricky. Another detail. It’s nice to get back out…

Just a catch-up post. I’ll have more time to write this coming weekend. Nutty weather. High of 71 today, then predicted high of 35 on Sunday. Walked a different way to work a couple of days ago and saw this gorgeous bush. Once I got to work, this hawk flew by and settled low enough…
