#28 We're Taking a Pause

As always, I loved your last letter. I have a soft spot for odes to parents, and your dad sounds like a wonderful man. His art is fabulous — the octopus on a plate and the birds were my favorite.

You asked if I could use a pause on our Substack letters, and yes, yes I could. We’ve both been juggling a lot lately, and I could do with a restful spell.

So, to our readers — this will be our last note for now! We are grateful to all of you for sharing this space with us.

While we're gone, you can keep up with us here:

• Jenny’s website and newsletter

• Rose’s website / collection of cool things she found

This drawing by Winslow Homer is titled “Shepherdess Resting,” and I aspire to all parts of that title.

Happy happy summer!

P.S. Jenny, expect snail mail and long rambly emails.
