The chickens are in the garage for the weekend. Those -19 temps are pulling at my heart so I brought them in. They are clicking with approval! 🐔🐓

My life has become that of a squirrel chaser.

Amarylis has its holiday bloom

Mr Pileated Woodpecker.

Wolfish. Kind of rolls off the tongue. My wolfish grin was evident as my eyes discovered him in the crowd.

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky.

I love shortbread cookies. Some rosewater xmas trees with cinnamon.

Night is calling.

​A pink star, tired of its job in the night sky, took a permanent vacation and is currently napping on the top of our christmas tree. We are now the managers of a celestial retirement home.

So finally the challenge, I took the dare. Grabbing the star 🌟 I took to the air. I teatered and fell That old ladder as well. But when I looked at the top the star was there.

Tree shopping in December: When you have to choose between height and girth

I have finished battling the snow. I've negotiated a temporary cease-fire with the driveway. It retains control of the mailbox; I retain the right to complain about its terms.

SNOW MODE ACTIVATED. TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED. CURRENTLY DOING THE RUMBA. GOOD LUCK

Today I am thankful to all my caring friends. Thoughtful, encouraging, compassionate, patient, sharing our path through life. You are the comforting warmth on cold days, the guiding light on dark nights, the exuberance in all that is life. Keep being you. And thank you.

Me: A walk in the cold would be invigorating. Also me: ​My breath is forming tiny, ephemeral ghosts of regret.

Stormy on this cold windy day. We are hoping for temps above freezing some time around Christmas.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16.

Eating lunch today except with humus.

Today I embrace hope. More hope= less hateful behavior.

Happy Saturday 😊

Winter sneaks up on me overnight.

Happy Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!

The end to a productive weekend.

Chicken coop cleaned, garden readied for winter, caulked and insulated the utility room, laundry done and the house is clean. Ready for my bed.

Hiking at Parfeys Glen.

This is what teachers do: child's fuzzy jacket was left on the playground so he took it home to brush out all the twigs and leaves. Then washes and drys it then gives it a final brush. He then returns it to the child looking like new again.

Red polenta with roasted vegetables.

The full picture. Deciding on fall activities.

Early morning vacillations

Autumnal fire!

No Kings!

A great white regret on my afternoon walk.

Cortado in the morning. Its my weekend pick me up drink.

I may have all my ducks in a row. Actually no, they are geese. I try to make the best out of things as my life unravels.

Dried tomatoes this weekend.

Hairs have been cut. Waited too long this time. It was kind of a mess.

What's up Peloton

Saffron rice and falafel

5 hens: 5 eggs. Quintuple snap!

What I'm wearing to the rapture

I need to whip up some cream cheese icing.

Apple cinnamon rolls ready for the second rise.

Tarte aux pommes normande

Why did the chicken cross the road, you ask?

The girls out for a stroll.

I’d be on board for personal reasons too. I hate cheese flavoured crisps 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️👍🏻👍🏻

Our new flocks first egg!
