Nothing new to report, I’m afraid: at the end of September the map looked exactly as it did at the end of August. Sightings that would have been notable in the spring are ho-hum now because I’ve spotted them already: Tennessee, Arizona, New Mexico, and Alabama. I’d trade two Alabamas for a Mississippi any day.
In addition to Mississippi, I’m missing Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska, Alaska, Nevada, and you-know-who. Not a bad showing for the year so far, but I’m not giving up yet.
About Susanna J. Sturgis
Susanna edits for a living and writes to survive. Having been preoccupied with electoral politics since 2016, she is now getting back to writing -- and she's got plenty to write about. Her blog "The T-Shirt Chronicles," started at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, is a meandering memoir based on her out-of-control T-shirt collection. Her other blogs include "From the Seasonally Occupied Territories," about being a year-round resident of Martha's Vineyard, and "Write Through It," about writing, editing, and how to keep going.
Ah it won’t probably be completed, now that we are alredy in October, right? Or are you expecting more visitors around the holiday season?
