Writing has me missing out on one of my favorite Seattle events: Syttende Mai in Ballard, or, Norwegian Constitution Day. You know, that day in 1814 when Norge bucked the rule of Sverige oppression…. sort of. It took a few more years for Norge to be fully independent (1905), because non-violence is a long game. By then my great-greats had sailed an ocean and traversed a continent. Why? A push-pull of precarious subsistence agricultural realities and a robust propaganda rumor mill. So we benefited from Lincoln’s Homestead act (1862), a name change, and forgetting the languages of home. A strange kind of baptism, in many ways.

Happy Easter 🌷 Christ is risen 🌅

IT’S REALLY REAL!!

This is a seasonal tree blossom photo. Please enjoy. 🌸

Rainwater capture is one of the first steps to replenishing groundwater levels. Rain gardens and roadside swales draw water down and filter it, rather than allowing surface water (with ‘additives’ like car oil) run straight into streams and pipes.

Spring rains gotta go somewhere…. Do you know the state of your groundwater? 💧

We made it to another Monday morning. That is something. Another Monday, another week of falling behind, running on fumes. Do you feel some of that, too? A sense of cumulative exhaustion that might be the weight of the world—even when you know the world isn’t yours to carry. But, there it is.

Happy Birthday @kelnero_bar !!! Keep it up, you’re just getting your legs under you 🥃🧡🥂🍾

Happy Anniversary to us! @garysbestfriend this goes up to 11: years filled with silliness, adventures, moments of chaos, moments of delight, cookies and cocktails, all with style 🥂🍾
