Cindy Lou came through again. She’s been sleeping for a few weeks now but I woke her up yesterday and got her into a batch of no-knead sourdough. It’s a little pale but that’s ok 😂 I cooked it in a Dutch oven but had lined it with parchment paper, hence the pale color #sourdough #nokneadbread

This tithonia was full of bumblebees this evening

Good morning! It’s breakfast time. #hummingbird

Ruby Throated Hummingbird (male) - it only took a few minutes for him to find the new feeder #birdfy #hummingbird

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds. This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg. Seabird peer-pressure can be intense. (📷: Robert F. Bukaty)

My first Bluesky post! I create fashion and art, so that’s what you’re most likely to see here. Let’s start with one of my most recent, which combines #zentangle, #artdeco and #artnouveau (3 of my current faves).

#clematis this is one of those “plants in a bag” you see all over. I got it last year and it performed somewhat poorly. However, it survived and is on its ways to thriving.

We put out chickens out in their coop yesterday evening. They are finally venturing outside for the first time. These are all about 7 weeks old. #chickens #teenagers #fdt
