  1. Printer malfunction has lead me to excessive chocolate use today.
  2. Behind times, I read The Girl & the Dragon Tattoo. Blomvist is always having coffee & sandwiches in garden settings. I want to live there.
  3. Outside my studio window, a bumble bee as big as my thumb reverses out of a foxglove bloom. Fuzz with a buzz.
  4. Attended a talk by marvelous historical fiction writer Geraldine Brooks. I love how earnestly & honestly she looks for each book's voice.
  5. Came close to drinking my watercolor paint water instead of my drinking water today.
  6. Connecting with my inner wild thing today nytimes.com/2012/05/09/boo…
  7. The Readers by ClaudiaMcGehee etsy.me/IDQs2m via @Etsy
  8. Celebrate Children's Book Week! For more, see bookweekonline.com
  9. Musing on ubiquitous use of the word "amazing". Amazing is a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. Amazing is not chewing new kinds of gum.

  11. Even the shabbiest of airports feels welcome after a turbulent flight.
  12. Rainy last evening in the great Northwest. A chorus of frogs outside my window- nature's perfect lullaby, past and present.
  13. Powell's Books in Portland OR has an amazing inventory and flirty employees.
  14. At least one rooster in Vancouver, WA did not get the memo that urban male chickens weren't allowed. But I am charmed by a 4 am doodle-doo.
  15. YA writer, the thoughtful Matt de la Pena, shares this today "You are what you do when nobody's watching".
  16. Earth day approved illustrator activity- making collages out of found objects and papers.
  17. Join me for SCBWI-WWA's Writing & Illustrating for Children Conference! #SCBWIWWA cvent.com/events/21st-an…
  18. "You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them." –Ray Bradbury
  19. Made Devilled Eggs yesterday- they'll never be quite as yummy after reading David Sedaris' latest essay. newyorker.com/reporting/2012…
