hey friend — i love your fairy garden already. be sure to bring a photo when it’s growing.

my latest drawing is a witch’s cabin in the woods. i want to live there one day. in the meantime, i watched the sun rise over the catalina mountains from my patio this morning, instead of lying in bed annoyed at being awake already. it felt like a winning start to my day.

i had a new thought related to work today— instead of relaxing into easier work as i move towards retirement, maybe i want to move towards the higher level things that challenge my brain. can it be true?!?

i wrote this in my tiny handwriting so the note would be small — i hope it is legible!

xoxo

Mesa, I love your fairy garden plans 😍 ✨️ 💕 I am not working on anything particularly fun right now, but I love reading about everyone else's projects. It is hot here too but we are kind of used to it? I don't get out in the sun much because it's so hot and I am working a lot. When I have free time I love to snuggle with my kitties and read! Right now I am reading the most recent No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency novel set in Botswana. I used to read a lot. Someday I will list several of my favorites for you. R.n. I'll just say The Chronicles of Narnia and Ann Patchett and Barbara Kingsolver novels and Louise Penny, Elly Griffiths, and Tana French mysteries. I used to love J.K. Rowling too but now not so much. Bleah! The folded papers I loved in school were those wish things that we put over our fingers and made patterns with. One of my good friends, tho, loved Japanese folding art (my menopausal break won't give me the noun that I need - origami) and still does it in their 60s. That's dedication 👏 😊✌️🌺have a happy day and write back soon 😀 😊 🙂 ☺️ 😄 😉 ♥️

Hi Holly! I remember those paper wishes too! Those were so fun to do. I’ve always wanted to learn origami, just have never sat down to try, maybe one day. I’ve read a few books by Tana French and enjoyed them! Thanks so much for sharing some of your favorites with me :) Stay cool! And enjoy the day. Xoxo

Thanks for the note, Mesa! The fairy garden sounds awesome! I'm working on my ideas for a book I'm writing. I'm not going to say that I want to write a book, I'm really going to do it! I'm excited and terrified both. That must mean I'm serious about it. 😉 Stay cool, it's crazy hot here too. Time for some ice cream and a funny movie! See you in the hallway after lunch. 👋

YAYYYY for writing a book, Nance! I’m so thrilled for you. I’ve been writing books too, and it’s exciting and terrifying all at the same time 🤣

I would absolutely LOVE some chocolate peanut butter ice cream right now. That’s one of the best ways to beat the heat.

Hope you get lots of laughs from the movie!!

Hi beauty bestie!

I love this style!!

Feeling very perks of being a wallflower inspired by your letter- which would go down as one of my fave books of if I had to commit!

I love the sound of your fairy garden!! So cute!

I’ve been working on neurographic art drawings which is a really fancy way to say I’ve been scribbling 🤣

I love you!!

Keep us posted on your fairies! 🧚🏿

Storm the castle and avoid detention after class- we have mischief to get into!
