if this is you

if this is you…

If you were a young girl who insisted that her favorite animal was a platypus, because you didn’t want to like dolphins or dogs or ponies like everyone else, and because you knew the name of your favorite animal should be nearly as fascinating as the animal itself–just saying platypus evoked its uniqueness (this was before you learned of echidnas, but is it a surprise that your son would someday count them as his favorite creature?). If this is you, then you might understand why this girl was delighted to receive the gift of a plush platypus from a Mom who just returned from exploring the underside of the globe. :)

I love how the bits of pollen clinging to the one of the stamens of the top flower look like an eye.

There is just so much to see in one ‘simple’ flower. :)

because I’m full of thoughts…

because I’m full of thoughts…

My friend Alison nominated me for the following award:


Wow, I am quite flattered. So now I am supposed to choose 5 blogs that make me think (I actually despise choosing favorite anythings…I’m just not good at it, but I’ll play along anyways…)!

So here’s my try at 5 Thoughtful Blogs (Note: limiting this to people I’ve actually corresponded with, or met in person, so the chances of them acknowledging the award is fairly high. Also, if your blog isn’t listed here it doesn’t mean that I don’t find it thoughtful! I love reading all of your blogs–add your URL in the comments if you’re new to pilgrimgirl and I’ll add you to my googlereader)

200 Things
Even when Brooke isn’t wearing geese on her head, her blog is chock-full of thoughtful and artistic writing and links. Her photos are also delightful.

Catbonny
Bonny’s blog is honest, insightful, and fun to read. I like hearing about her journey and I like that she’s my Friend. She’s also a wickedly good Ticket to Ride player! :)

Bored in Vernal
I like how BiV and I often see eye-to-eye on social issues, feminism, etc, yet we’re at different stages of life and circumstances. I’m grateful for the magic of the internet that’s allowed me to get to know her better!

The Observant Woman
Add this one to your daily checklist of blogs. SL digests important issues related to women’s health. Her commentary is both incisive and provocative.

Readathon
Deborah’s posts on ExponentII are always great, but I’m also enjoying her literary insights. Having been a bibliophile since childhood, with a continued fondness for YA lit, I love reading her book reviews!

For those I tagged, please read the following rules…
The Thinking Blogger Award is also a meme. The participation rules are simple:

1. If you get tagged, write a post with links to five blogs that make you think.
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.
3. (Optional) Proudly display the “Thinking Blogger Award” with a link to the post that you wrote.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
