    Reading as a special interest?

    I usually have six to eight books in active rotation at any given time and never go anywhere without at least three in my bag (I'm a mood reader (often a rereader (Anne of Green Gables series, Pern, Georgette Heyer, Tairen Soul series, Throne of Glass, Kingkiller Chronicles...just to name a...

    Putting the Pieces Together

    Warm soaking rain today, so I am taking advantage of it. All my plants with the exception of a couple hydros, my violets, and orchids are now on the deck. Pretty sure my neighbors think I'm the crazy plant lady.

    What do you wish your parents had done differently?

    Having seen how far our understanding about the complexities of ASD and other divergences has come in the last thirty years, I'm going to be a red herring and not be too judgemental on my mom. She raised three of us on her own, two known divergent (my brother ADHD, and myself, AuADHD). My...
