Perspective: This cottage behind Josie looks like a doll house. #dogsofmastodon #bernesemountaindog #fensterfreitag #windowfriday

115+/- year old #acermacrophyllum, #bigleafmaple with tiny #snowdrops. (Photo of the house from 1910 does not show the tree above the roof line.) #thicktrunktuesday

Urban old growth fir trees on a rainy morning. This stand of fir trees and a nearby stand of old growth Oregon White Oaks have been protected as a city park for 100 years. #dogsofmastodon #bernesemountaindog #bigTrees #temperaterainforest

Inspired by WA former Governor Inslee, https://open.substack.com/pub/meidastouch/p/dont-let-ice-freeze-voting : the current budget bill re funding for DHS should prohibit ICE and CBP agents from being within at a least a mile of any polling place. If you live in the U.S., call your Senators and […]

Winter Wednesday, the sun is shining, but the shadows are long. #dogsofmastodon #bernesemountaindog

Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here. My goal is to figure out how I can bring www.gobikecamping.com into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data […]

Take comfort where you can. #dogsofmastodon #bernesemountaindog #comfort #PeaceBeWithYou

Who shot J. R.? J. R. isn't really dead! That was just a dream some of us had. #1980sbreakingnews #hashtaggames

Sunny and cold, just perfect according to Josie. #bernesemountaindog #dogsofmastodon #headtilt

Unpopular opinion: building and using technology ethically is not the same thing as going back to a previous era of technology or staying frozen in time. Instead, it's really important to keep moving forward and building the future - new techniques, new platforms, new ideas - in a pro-social way.

A really contorted canopy on an #ulmusglabracamperdownii #camperdownelm at the #oregonstatecapitol. Look at those ferns! 😍 🌿 #thicktrunktuesday

Winter light. #fensterfreitag #windowfriday

"The dragon squeaks!" says Josie. #dogsofmastodon #bernesemountaindog

It's time to finish off the citrus harvest. Bitter orange are ready for processing, and very welcome as I've run out of marmalade. I'm again overwhelmed with hassaku. This haul is from only the windfall and the portion hanging over the fussy neighbor's fence […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

Brunswick Stew. Historical claims by Brunswick Co, VA and Brunswick, GA as the place of origin. Could even be Brunswick, NC. #foodnamedafterplaces #hashtaggames (Started out as squirrel stew, with succotash and okra thrown in. There are many regional variations, but generally include chicken […]

Frogmore Stew (Frogmore, SC) #foodnamedafterplaces #hashtaggames

The planned chaos is achieving its objective. Seen any coverage of the #epsteinfiles since the invasion of Venezuela? Since the #gestapo shootings of civilians?

At the #oregonstatecapitol today. #fensterfreitag #windowfriday

Foggy morning, big street trees, broken sidewalks, and moss. #thicktrunktuesday

Wag the Dog.

We started with a rainy walk. Picked the last of the collards. Started a pot of beans. Made a doggie birthday cake for Josie. Happy birthday, Josie! #happynewyear #dogsofmastodon #bernesemountaindog #CollardGreens

Aaaaand... she's back. Just in time for 2026. 😊🥰💖 But give me some time to build up my stamina for 24x7 boosting. A girl's still gotta heal. 😈

New year's eve, and bright sunshine at the #oregonstatecapitol. Today, it is raining. Either way, Josie is dressed for it, and just wants to go. #pnw #dogsofmastodon #bernesemountaindog

Merry Christmas 🎄 Here's a collage of flowers from this year, including most from the #FlowerAdventCalendar hashtag. I enjoy sharing our garden during the year, and this is a way to reflect on some small beautiful things that are right before us […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

YouTube link to the 60 Minutes segment in CECOT that Bari Weiss spiked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7acXx4E8 Painful to watch, no wonder a Trump regime lackey tried to bury it.

The CBS 60 Minutes CECOT segment showed up in Canada's Global TV app and then quickly disappeared. But a direct copy (not a screen recording) is now archived online: https://archive.org/details/60minutes-cecotsegment

The curb strip pollinator garden for today's December 22nd Advent flowers. This is achillea millefolium, agastache, and volunteer stachys. All the bees, bee flies, and butterflies love this flower bed. I saw a bombas melanopygus this year, after several years […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

An older photo from August 2022, with Winnie (Golden) and Josie next to the hydrangea I call "Big Blue Ruffles" for the fourth Sunday of Advent, December 21, 2025. My first successful hydrangea propagation was from this plant. #FlowerAdventCalendar […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Irises in Winnie's secret garden, photographed on May 16, 2025. We are almost to the fourth Sunday of Advent, this Friday, December 19, 2025. #floweradventcalendar #Bloomscrolling #gardenadventcalendar

We are close to the very last photos of Winnie. 💛 She opened her 🎄 gifts early, and snagged both hers and Josie's. Josie did not mind at all. #dogsofmastodon #goldenretriever #seniordog #caninecancer

On December 18, 2025, we have Winnie the #goldenretriever smiling as she lies in her favorite summer shady spot in front of a wild planting of hydrangeas. This photo was taken on July 27, 2025. #dogsofmastodon #floweradventcalendar #Bloomscrolling #gardenadventcalendar

December 17, 2025, we have some tulips photographed on April 13, 2025. #floweradventcalendar #Bloomscrolling #gardenadventcalendar

On December 16, 2025, a photograph of the "Dolgo" crabapple in bloom on April 9, 2025. It bears an abundant crop of red-fleshed and red-skinned oblong fruit. It is also a preferred pollinator tree for the apple tree variety I requested for my birthday. It […] [Original post on mastodon.online]
