A few amazing days of Madison in May 💙🌅☀️ Now on the blog: “Tot Ziens, April: How I Find Holland at Home.” “Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably” ~C.S. Lewis. Especially with dear friends @theguildwheaton! Fijne Koningsdag! I hope to celebrate with you again someday 🧡🇳🇱 Talking about two of my favorite subjects, poetry and art, for #nationalpoetrymonth with so many brilliant friends @stcharlesartscouncil this morning?
