tidbits (Page 3)

random blips, thoughts, links, shared items

check out mention of my Dad in Hillary Clinton’s newest book, What Happened:

feels pretty fancy to see that in print. he told me about their visit at Wellesley last spring and it warmed my heart. I’m so proud of my parents who have both been committed to working for social justice since before I was born.

I sent them out to the garden to harvest the last of our kale; they are the orange-vested bodies in the first picture. They came back and said, “there wasn’t much after we removed the bad leaves.”
The basket full (below) is “not much kale” in our family. :-)

Normally, I’d post this on Facebook and get quick answers from several friends in-the-know. I’m continuing my experiment with returning to my personal site rather than leaning so heavily on Facebook, so I’ll post it here and see what happens…
These mushrooms were growing in the leaf-filled crevice on the edge of my asparagus bed. Are they edible?
(I won’t eat them until I’m *sure,* of course!)

I’m not finding it easy to use this website/blog as a place to share my random thoughts and updates (like I would usually do on Facebook). Here, it’s a bit of an echo chamber (even though I know my parents get the posts via email (hi, Mom and Dad!)) so I know someone is reading them.
Things I might share on Facebook that aren’t personal updates seem too trivial to waste a post on (so I skip them altogether). That’s an upside to this new exploration.
Transitioning this to a place where I just write and share “whatever” is awkward. Most of the posts on here I thought about a bit and edited and made “worth sharing” (in my mind).
Hm.
