The outdoor office is coming along nicely. Finally emerging from two weeks of relentless lurgy and decided to play in the dirt a bit today. (Fortunately I’d already scrubbed the algae off the deck before the crud hit me in earnest.) Planted so far: Chocolate mint, lemon thyme, English thyme, lavender, and hanging baskets of nasturtiums. Still to plant: basil, basil, and I think some basil. #outdooroffice #containergardening #springinthesouth #bham
March Mayhem is on at @mason.dixon.knitting , and I’m thrilled that Velouria made the cut! Head to their website to check out the gorgeous array of patterns in this year’s #MDKMarchMayhem.

The link to the New Zealand Islamic Information Centre’s appeal in support of the victims and families of the Christchurch terrorist attack is in my profile. (Link via @omarjs.) Any words I come up with to express my sorrow and rage just come across as trite; other suggestions on how to help are welcome. These attacks are the ugliest, most lethal face of white supremacy; this is where the spread of Islamophobia inevitably leads. We must continue to speak out against the entire insidious spectrum of racism, and to call out white supremacist bs when we see it. (Image is a collage of two pillars reading “Justice” and “Peace”, taken in Crescent Park, New Orleans during my last visit with beloved NZ-dwelling friend @plsj.) (Edited to change “hate in all its insidious forms” to “the entire insidious spectrum of racism” in order to be extra super clear that I’m not ‘both sides’ing this tragedy.)
#tbt the cabana that became my home away from home the last time I was in Belize, visiting with @wish.willy. It has been far, far too long.
