These are my neighbor's "chick chicks" as I call them when I talk to them, which is a lot. The 2nd pic is of the eggs my neighbor left on our doorstep the other day straight from the chick chicks. They gather round my sneakers when they're out and check out my laces. I've told the chickens they are welcome in my yard to eat all the ticks and other bugs they can stomach. . . . #chickens #eggs #chicken #chickchick #neighborshelpingneighbors #neighbors #neighborhood #gifts #kindness

I'm continuing to share authors and books as we have our time at home to care for ourselves and each other. This week I'm featuring Jenny Offill. Her writing is innovative, minimalist, while still being rich and satisfying. I'm also discussing indie and local bookstores. Please support your local small businesses if you are able. They are coming up with innovative ways to keep their businesses running. Here are some I mention in my blog @hellohellobooks @northshiresaratoga @bookhousealbany What are you reading? How are your local businesses getting creative? My blog is live.

My latest botanical illustration. It's based on a photo I took of iris that grow in my garden. The tips of those iris are just breaking the surface of the earth right now. This will be a gift for my county health dept who are working incredibly hard right now. The director is my neighbor which makes it easy to drop off. Who are you grateful for today? . . . #botanicalillustration #botanical #botanicalart #flowers #flowerstagram #flowerillustration #flowerart #iris #purpleflower #purpleiris #grateful #thankful #covid_19 #art #penandinkdrawing #penandink #illustration
