It is storming outside and Emerson taught me how to play dominos today.
It was pretty fun although he kicked my ass. I also saw this prompt about small spells to do on your birthday, and half of an enormous poem formed in my head while I was taking my 30 minutes of boredom based on the suggestion to write a letter to yourself a year ago even…

Emerson and I went to the local Hispanic grocery store today!

Emerson and Ashley went to Honeybee Sage yesterday and Ashley read two poems.
They will roll out elsewhere on social media in early June, but I am going to share them here now. He kicked absolute ass, and tbh I think he’s a natural performer. I think he did better than me. -Allēna
