🌻 Happy new year!

This is just dog pictures

Well, hi!

In my last post, I declared the return of the Funkyard to your inbox! That was, apparently, not true at all, and I will make no such claims now. But I wanted to say hello and see how y’all are doing.

Samson and his favorite Christmas present.

Since we last met, we had a lovely Halloween, Thanksgiving (we hosted!), and Christmas. Andy had his achilles surgery, and after weeks of recovery is already walking sans crutches and boot. Samson is huge. Last weighed in at 87 lbs and we’re certain he’s gotta be over 90 now. Luckily he is the sweetest, so he’s no trouble, only 90 lbs of love. I’ve read some books, watched some movies, caught up on some shows. But your watch and read lists are already long enough, aren’t they?

Couch for scale.

I did have some stories come out, that I wrote mid-last year and came out in the Jan/Feb print issue of Discover. The COVID story is comically outdated already, and the Biden story likely is too, though to a lesser degree.

• What Decriminalizing All Drugs Means for Oregon 

• Science in the White House: Has Biden Delivered? 

• The COVID-19 Pandemic: Year 2 

• Communicating Through Lucid Dreams 

Good boy.

Soon it will be GARDEN PLANNING SEASON and I’ll have some excitement for you. I also have some plant-related NEWS that I’m not quite ready to share, but I insist you get really, really excited about. But for now, you just get dog pictures.

Happy in the sun.

Let me know if there’s anything you want to hear about in the meantime as we wait for garden season. Besides Samson, obviously.

XOXO,

P.S.

Boop.
