That picture of you with the chicken is making my heart implode! GAH SO CUTE
Love this! I grew up in rural Mississippi and ended up in coastal California. It’ll never stop being weird and wonderful, but you’ll learn the PNW rhythms too.
Howdy from a former Allegany County resident! I love your art style.
Love this so much!
oh my god i love this so much. thank you thank you thank you for creating this and sharing it with us! <3
As a Virginia farm girl now in Seattle, I feel all of this extremely.
This so beautiful! You definitely convey that feeling of being in a new place and trying to make sense of it.
Also, I love your expression while doing the tick check – very relatable :)
I feel this in my chest–thank you!
I’ve lived in Portland my whole life, it isn’t perfect at all, but its home, and the nature is absolutely stunning. Do yourself a favor this summer and try blackberry picking at thousand acre parks, its beautiful, bountiful, and full of friendly dogs. I hope PDX treats you well <3
oh gosh i just really really loved this?????
I absolutely love this.
