We did so much today, I hardly know where to start! Pictured here: #golfcart ride around #CapeCharlesVa, the public #beach in #CapeCharles, and #paddleboarding at the #offleash #dogbeach at the @chesapeakebaykoa. Not pictured here: #paddling almost all the way out to the concrete fleet in Kiptopeke State Park, buying several news #books at the adorable #bookstore in Cape Charles, and watching the moon set. If only every Monday were so like Saturday and Sunday…! #SUPpups #standuppaddle #havedogswilltravel #thelittles #mansbestfriend #mindthedog #dogsarepeopletoo #lovethesedogs #lovemydogs #rescue #rescuedogs #whorescuedwho #virginia #virginiaoutdoors #virginiaoutside #naturewriter #chihuahuaterrier #outdoorwriter #bibliophile
What a gorgeous day for some #paddleboarding! We launched at #TuckerPark in Maidens, a new place for us to #explore. The water was so clear! We saw fish, turtles, ducks, and an egret. We #paddled, we #swam, we played. We’ll definitely go back again! #SUP #SUPpups #standuppaddleboarding #thelittles #mindthedog #dogsarepeopletoo #lovemydogs #lovethesedogs #mansbestfriend #rescue #rescuedogs #whorescuedwho #chihuahuaterrier #JamesRiver #Virginia #virginiaoutdoors #virginiaoutside
Back in the spring, #thelittles, @ashley.marie.unger, and I participated in a #haiku #hike at #pocahontasstatepark. The haiku (did you know the plural of “haiku” is “haiku?”) I #wrote coalesced into one, cohesive #poem, which I submitted to inspire a #quilt for the Colonial Piecemakers Quilt Guild Exhibit for the Mancuso Mid-Atlantic Quilt Show. Two #quilters selected my poem, which will be displayed at the exhibit beside each quilt, as well as #published in a #book along with photographs of the #quilts. This is meaningful to me for many reasons, perhaps the most special of them being that the poem is about #hiking with Jack and Sadie, as well as with Nacho and Soda. On this particular hike, we were all there together. #naturewriter #outdoorwriter #lovetowrite #writelife #writinggoals #writingcommunity #poetry #writersofig #writersofinstagram #creativewriting #haveyouwalkedyourdogtoday #mindthedog #mansbestfriend #lovemydogs
Recently, most of my #writing time and energy have been dedicate to #AnExpectedEnd, but the very first #manuscript I ever wrote was #GoodbyeForNow, which currently sits, patiently waiting, for its predecessor to find a #publishing home so I can return to its pages and finish some polishing before it, too, goes out into the world. This morning, I stumbled across some short #letters I wrote to a few of the #characters. It reminds me how much I #love them, and makes me eager to revisit them and catch up. #amwriting #lovetowrite #writelife #writinggoals #creativewriting #fiction #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #speculativefiction #magicalrealism
