And a couple more that I made in different tins with leftover batter

So good 😭

A good friend of mine ordered seven of these little cakes from me for Valentine’s Day (six for her sweethearts and one for her so she doesn’t get jealous 🤣)

They’re red velvet with a creamy vanilla frosting

I’m leaning towards it! It’s more expensive than the others, but surely worth it 🤣

Thinking of getting another crappy digital camera

I was in a poor mood and running an errand I didn’t want to be, when I came upon this super cute Valentines’s Day decorations in the “pocket park” in my town. Suffice it to say, my mood was lifted.

My heart shaped filled donut from yesterday

It’s SO foggy this afternoon

(Samsung NX 300 + NX 30mm f2 + some preset called “airy”)

I always loved that colour of a Diana 😍

I love that lens

I feel like these should qualify for the #shittycamerachallenge

Taken with an Olympus fe-47 (with a big black blob obscuring part of the screen,) slapped some “film simulations” on them in Snapseed.

I’m gonna be sick

We made it out of the house today for the first time since we got the ice and snow last weekend. Mexican restaurant was #1 priority for us.

My heat came back on, but my water was still frozen. This morning I went to check on it, and some pipes had burst 🙃

What I did once power was restored

We have power again, but my house’s heat won’t come back on, so that’s soul-crushing for me. It’ll be above freezing today, but not for long.

Photos my niece sent from her university campus

Today is another story. For the past couple do hours, the generator keeps cutting off, so we can’t run the heater or have any of the small comforts we had yesterday. And without a heater, it’s getting cold in the house very quickly.

It’s so cold (and I’ve attached the latest update from the power company.)

We were able to have dinner because we plugged an electric griddle up to the generator and had eggs and such.

It’s been sleeting more on than off for over twenty-four hours. I woke up in the wee hours this morning and realized the power was off too.

I left water running while I was next door at my sister’s house today, but my pipes still froze somehwere along the line 🎉🎉

Did you go through Ice Storm ‘94 down here?

It’s an ice storm up in here

I forgot to mention that my sister and I watched the Mr. Polaroid episode of American Experience. Has anyone else seen it?

I learned a lot from it.

Today marked three years since my mom passed away. I’m using her headphones (which she actually wore somewhat upside down so the top wouldn’t smush her hair 🤣) and I’m listening to recordings she made as a Gospel singer.

Inspired by @taylorbright.bsky.social’s Beetles thread, here’s one of my fave photos I’ve ever taken.

The university in Sydney where my niece was staying during her event didn’t serve meat to the visiting students because they said the uni staff aren’t allowed to use their company cards to buy meat 🤔

I was going through my Google Photos yesterday, and I found this 2016 picture of my mom that is SO delightful. It was quite underexposed, and apparently I never corrected that and posted the photo anywhere. I love that I ran across for the first time in nearly ten years.
