From 10:30-12:30 tomorrow (Saturday) I'll be hosting the Author Read Aloud at the Burbank Book Festival in, um, Burbank! A fantastic lineup of delightful children’s book authors and illustrators will be sharing their masterpieces—and I might read a few ridiculous pieces of my own along the way, just to make everyone else look good. Come on by! (Any kids who'd like to read a poem with me are especially welcome...)

These kids spent so many precious summers at @windsormountain No place like it in the world. So grateful.

Can’t believe we get to keep making these! Couldn’t be more thrilled. And grateful. And excited. And stressed. And having trouble sleeping because there’s so much to do. But more than anything? Thrilled. And also the not sleeping thing.

When we first got him, as a four-year-old rescue, I was working such long hours that for several months Zeus didn’t recognize me as a member of his new family. I would come shuffling home around midnight, desperate to get to sleep, only to be met by this strange, fierce creature barking angrily at me, protecting his new family, keeping me from entering my own home until Hilary woke up, came downstairs and pulled him away. A few times during these late-night standoffs I tried giving him bacon. Somehow he found a way to eat the bacon I tossed at him WITHOUT STOPPING BARKING. I still don’t know how he did it.
Whenever he saw two family members hugging, he would race up and throw his entire body against us, wanting to get in on the action. Otherwise, his preferred way to show affection was to saunter up and stand right next to a person, then slowly—as if he didn’t even want anyone to notice what he was doing—lean his entire body against theirs.
He HATED feathers. Especially those little down ones. A baby duck must have really messed him up bad before we got him.
If you rubbed his head the right way, or sometimes just when he was feeling blissed out for no particular reason, he purred like a cat.
He could lose a quart of water in drool in a minute flat when he saw me putting peanut butter on banana.
We had a “reading nook” outfitted below one window that he immediately took over as his own, since it was perfect for waiting for cars to come home. In the last few months, when he was too wobbly to jump up onto it on his own, the kids rigged a couple makeshift steps so he could still get up there and sit and wait.
He was Zeus, but the family called him “Mushy.”
Eventually he accepted me into my own family, which I’m grateful for. He was stoic and loving and happy to lie on the cushion in the old fireplace while the rest of us all watched TV or played a game together. Some of his last strength at home this morning he used to get back onto his feet and have just a little more peanut butter. He was a terrific member of the family and we’ll all miss him and we’ll never forget him.
