Happy Birthday to one of my idols, Dolly Parton! I had the extreme pleasure years ago of being an editorial assistant working on the picture book version of her iconic song, Coat of Many Colors. Never got to meet her in person but loved being part of that project. Dolly rocks. #dollyparton #nobodylikedolly

Gorgeous light today, and oh yeah, I’ve been reading about refurbing old tubs. This one’s been in what used to be our back yard next to the chicken coop for who knows how long. It weighs a ton so I can’t just flip it over to check out the inside. Hmmmm. Will do some more research. 🤔 🛀

I was in a room by myself all day, scraping wallpaper. When I got in the car to go home and turned on the radio, I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing. BLM protesters would have been shot and killed, no questions asked. This is unacceptable. Way past time to wake up and ditch the crazy. The only tiny scrap of good I’m taking from this day: my kids seeing what is right and what is wrong, and itching to change the world when they get the chance.

It’s been really great working with these guys.

Woke up thinking about what two photos would sum up 2020 for me, and here they are. I’m so glad the year from hell is officially over, but we’ve still got so much work to do to be safe and stay safe, and to make the world a place where Black Lives Matter isn’t just a rallying cry or a hashtag but a given. #risetothechallenge2021 #blacklivesstillmatter
