Thank you, Vicki! It means so much to hear that what I share helps bring a bit of joy to your days :) I'm so glad to have connected with you here on Substack, and I hope you've had a lovely start to the new year so far! 🤍
I have tried several times to pick them when they are ripe, but I never can get it right. No matter how long I cook them, they always taste funny and have a strange texture. I finally gave up and now only buy the ones from our local gas station, which I give to my dog, who eats them and gives me the energy I need by licking my ear. I’m a human version of a plug-in hybrid.
Ha! Thanks so much for reading, Switter, and for your always-entertaining comments -- I'm not sure I'll ever look at cattails the same way again now :)
I’m an Idaho boy no matter how far away I strayed over the years. It’s how we are up here in this white hell of a trackless wilderness.
FYI, your little meadow lark reminded me of a question I meant to research a while back, so this morning, I checked on whether they migrate and most of them do, but not very far. Maybe low altitude southern Utah and New Mexico. But the most interesting thing I learned is they are related to all the orioles, the red wing and yellow headed blackbirds, and a few of the shiny grackles. Who would have thought our little friends come from such an illustrious family? Now I love them even more.
Love the word nourishment. I think I’ve begun to nourish my creative side more now that I’ve discovered such beauty in other peoples words and works of art like yours. 🙏🏻🥰 thank you for nourishing us with your work.
Congratulations. What a lovely testament to creative authenticity and vulnerability. I’m always inspired by your work.
Thank you for your beautiful words, Julie -- they truly mean so much. I'm so happy to have connected with you here on Substack this past year! 🤍
Me too!!

I love it! A painting of a corn dog plant!

My goodness. You sure know how to evoke me!

P.s. Wild corn dogs don’t taste good even if drowned in mustard and ketchup.
