this was a good week (50/100)

This was a good week! Here’s why:

• First things first: The images coming out of the western US are astonishing. Help people affected by the wildfires by visiting redcross.org, calling 800-RED CROSS or texting the words WILDFIRES to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

• Our poor beleaguered magnolia tree (that got pretty beaten up by construction crews when we were building this house) is giving us some late-season blossoms. It’s a sweet surprise.

• I went on Twitter asking a graphic designer to design one of those “In this house, we believe…” signs, but adding “and we vote accordingly” at the bottom, and @patty_profitt came through. I can’t wait to get mine!

Flamingos feed underwater and upside down.

This story of Dorothy Parker’s ashes is mindblowing.

The beauty of age.

Have a great weekend, friends.
