Fun fact- I have a chunk of pure copper from Keeweenaw Peninsula that I use as a door stop. My dad got it out of Lake Superior, decades ago.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

This was fun to find out, via local news. Way too close to home, honestly. www.wdbj7.com/2025/11/05/b...

Ok, enough procrastinating, back to work.

Hooray!

Oh damn. Cargo plane crash at Louisville, KY. That's just... damn.

Ok, dinner for tonight and leftovers are ready for the oven. #cooking #home-cooked #homemade

This smells amazing. Butter, sea salt, garlic powder, fresh cracked black pepper, roasted 25 min, basted in own butter & juices, roasted another 20 min. Once it cools, it'll be scooped out & used to recreate a dish my SiL fed us while in Michigan that was delicious. #cooking #spaghettisquash

Mayhem in a nutshell. Mischief is the real brains of any operation.

Ok, enough procrastinating. I got spaghetti squash to roast and woven turkeys to make (woven all the parts for a small and a few for a medium already). If there's elections in your state, remember to exercise your right to vote!

i cannot emphasize enough how you, if you live in VA, should vote for Spanberger and Jones this is 100% Youngkin/ Miyares overstepping their bounds to interfere with local government, to bend it to attack their enemies

Rather surprised we haven't heard about this happening here in Virginia yet. My polling station, for the first time voting at this spot since we'd moved in 2016, had a sheriff parked outside.

I love this entire thread. It's like seeing the Poorcraft Cookbook in evolve.

Morning hair. #cats

I have just under 2 weeks until the local Holiday Market. I can get a couple soft sculpture turkeys made in that time. Yup, sure can. (I can, if I don't procrastinate.)

Seriously? Guy gets hit with a ball and they empty the dugouts? 🙄 He*tried* to get hit. Pitcher merely obliged. Baseball is ridiculous. #worldseries

BiL was just diagnosed as diabetic. (Genetic, runs in his family). Has to do insulin. He just paid over $1k for it, after a coupon & insurance. Health insurance is a racket.

M had to go to Lowe's. He just sent me this photo. Well, it is getting to be hunting season here.

Hi buddy. #cats

Mayhem, on the back of the couch, rubs his head against my hand, wanting attention. I start scratching his neck & he promptly tries to bite me. Good thing he's cute. #cats

For those who celebrate- have a Blessed Samhain! For those who don't- have a Happy Halloween!

I can make my own bad choices without A.I. thank you very much

It was raining,and windy yesterday through last night, so nothing got put out for the birds/wildlife. The result was no new sightings of Stevie, the unknown barn cat that showed up this week. Plenty of birds, Smoochie, Oscar, the Grey Foxes, the deer though...

Hiiiii if you can, support an indie artist near you. Just throw money at them if you can't afford their stuff.

You can tell when people miss the jab & don't read the article. 😆

SiL asked if I could sew. Of course, I said, just not at a professional level. That's fine, she says, mom needs bibs & they don't need to be perfect. So I looked up an adult bib pattern & have the perfect material to use for it- a towel my greatgrandmother crocheted & embroidered flowers on.

Strange barn kitteh came back this morning. #cats

Sandhill Cranes. Apparently, a pair likes to rooster under the pines at my brother's & sil's, mom likes to talk to them, she says. #birds

I post this every year and here it is once again: A whole lot of people cannot afford to evacuate. That’s why they stayed. That’s the story. Pray for them if you will and send money and aid if you are able. This is going to be bad.

So, KPop Demonhunters Sing Along is showing at our favorite nonprofit movie theater. Wonder if I could convince M to go see it with me, so I'll stop getting chastised... 😆 www.grandintheatre.com/shows/kpop

A selection of photos from our traditional Binder Park Zoo visit- #binderparkzoo #Michigan

So, not intending to move, ever, but while driving mom around to look at leaves, spotted couple houses for sale on a lake. Decided to look at houses in the area. Best thing about this one is the land & the pole barn. Definitely a barn conversion & not a good one- www.realtor.com/realestatean...

Another new visitor! This one more along the lines of what we expect to see. #wildlife

Wait, who are *you*... #cats #thisisnotmycat

I so did not miss the political attack ads for the Virginia Govetnot/Attorney General election next week, while in Michigan. Not one bit.

Wee bit of fog this morning.

[crawls out of my dusty hole] I wrote and draw all of the Poorcraft Cookbook myself and YOU can get it for 30% off today!!

Finally, a halfway decent sunset.

Because of course it's raining again.

Holy crow, Just. Stop. Raining. Already.

I so did not laugh at Leo half falling into the lake. 😆

This is so not the weather I requested for our visit to family.

Nothing like being in the check out and having relatives suddenly ask you what you're doing here. But it was nice spontaneously seeing my aunt and uncle.

I could live on a lake.

I could live on a lake.

PSA- Shop is currently in maintenance mode, ie, closed, until the 26th.

Mayhem jumped on the back of the couch, started burrowing his face in my hair. So I snagged him, pulled him into my lap, and reciprocated. He was not amused. 😆

Working on restocking snowman ornaments today. They always seem to sell out the fastest. #weaving #fiberart

I wish I had the space, and the money. Mostly the money. I'd find the space.
