On February 7, 1979, Pluto crossed over Neptune’s orbit and became the eighth planet from the sun for twenty years.

Grains of sand are still finding their way onto my desk. Here’s the only photo I took during the long weekend during a tech timeout. I am about 100 pages into The Overstory and it is delivering – thank you to @foshee07 & @julienaslund5866 for bringing this book to our close attention. I thought about
Just found out there’s an exhibit of 5 pieces of her work at the Nasher Sculpture Center. I’ve followed her work at local art galleries and museums since the 90’s.
