The trees were coming back to life at Hollywood Cemetery. Thankfully, the residents were not.

It’s a lovely place and the wine has been good by any standard and affordable by Virginia standards for a long time now. #cville #wine #virginia

Just got John Fogerty tickets for August. Another bucket list performer to get checked off. He's almost 80, so this is probably my last shot to see him live.

Showers will spread northeastward as the morning progresses and become more widespread by late morning or noon, and continue through the evening, tapering off after midnight. We should see between a half inch and an inch and a quarter in central #Virginia and #Maryland.

Only this administration could get me to side with TSA. To be fair, TSA at RIC has always been completely polite, friendly, and efficient on my numerous trips originating at RIC.

We are so lucky in this part of #virginia to have Refill Renew shops (in #stauntonva and #charlottesville )

From latest email: "...an increase in customers means less plastic in our landfills and oceans, healthier and happier communities, and support for local, women-owned business."

Virginians need to hear our message NOW

""In 2025, all eyes will be on Virginia’s elections--the first statewide opportunity to stop #Republicans from wrecking our #healthcare, #economy, and shared American values.

Millions of Americans—in #Virginia and in every corner of the nation—are either on our side or can be persuaded to join us. But we must get our message out months before Election Day to make our case!"

The University of Virginia Faculty Senate has passed a resolution reaffirming its commitment to academic freedom, free speech, and #diversity #equity and #inclusion #Virginia https://www.cbs19news.com/news/uva-faculty-senate-reaffirms-commitment-to-academic-freedom-and-dei-amid-federal-restrictions/article_b092ee1e-706c-4c80-8d6d-a6b8cc48db15.html

I’ll be traveling to my home state #Virginia in June to present at the Women Working with Clay Symposium at Hollins University in #Roanoake alongside ceramicists Andrèa Keys Connell, Shikha Joshi and Crystal Morey. Registration is open now.

Showing my process to a live audience can be nerve racking, but I do enjoy these smaller, more intimate ceramic conferences and hope to bring home #clay samples from my birthplace.
