lilacs, tulips, and phlox (oh my!)

Some of you may know I’m writing a novel. I’ve been writing it for a very long time, very slowly. This year I’d love nothing more than to get it in front of some agents, so I am trying my best to write a little faster.

This morning I forced myself to work on that novel instead of coming up with something to say for this newsletter, which means we’re back for another issue of Mostly Just Flowers. Enjoy!


Look at These:

A classic Colorado spring sight.

I swear I used to be able to take good pictures of lilacs.

I just love phlox!

It’s just really good!!

These absolute units are going to drop So Many Apples in the fall that nobody is going to eat.

Went to DC, found flowers there:

And finally, some excellent tulips from my neighborhood:

Featuring a bonus dog!

Recommended Reading:

  • A book. Just… any book. Apparently an increasing number of young people, including elite college students, are simply not reading books these days because they’re being taught less in schools. That’s sad! Books are fun! Go on a date with yourself to the public library and read a book, you will enjoy yourself. If you don’t like that one, try a different one! There are a lot of them out there!

  • If you cannot bear to tear your eyes away from your computer or phone screen, this was good: Fighting the power (and fighting burnout) isn’t a marathon or a sprint. It’s strength training.
