I did glitter advent

I bet that cover is real leather though. It’s the pleather ones that I’ve had an issue with

Maybe hauling it in my purse shortened its lifespan but mine from 2013 is crumbly now. I hope yours fares better!!!

Maybe the only appropriate thing about it is those damn vivella covers disintegrate after only like, 10 years. Which feels fitting to the…vibe here

I see those nails ready for Christmas

Etsy!

Every year I’ve asked “Santa husband” for one of these. I guess I haven’t been good enough yet

That’s some good church

This year featuring the Last Four Things

A Holy Advent

ADVENTS HERE BISHES.

That means its time to dust off and bust out the playlist again! Here for you if you want dinner party vibes, or if you're like me and just can't be doin' organ music through the speakers of a subaru. Folksy, americana, with a little spice ⚓

But also a lot of them do excursion camp weeks where the whole session is on trail/backpacking. Which could definitely use skilled guiding!

Man birders cross state lines to find American Woodcocks and log them on their life lists.

Meanwhile, in South Carolina: it’s almost woodcock season 🎯

That came to you too fast

I REALLY thought for a second you were advocating for scenting the ashes

that is a Blues Brother

Father Blues Brother

Oh freezing it is a great idea.

My issue is his obsession with this thing. We make him leave toys downstairs and he’s been pining/whining for it for 20 minutes. Relentless. Last night it was nearly 2 hours and he had to go in time out in his kennel with the command “go the f to sleep”

Is this what the hagiographies mean when they say “the saint fought with the devil”

I….will try. They’re all the yellow leaves on the bushes and climbing up the wires and the dogwood

Meanwhile I’m sitting here looking at the native wild “grape vines” choking out my azaleas and feeling dread for the day of their reckoning

Wow! I know you must be sore from all that work!

Why does the Bike Bus make me cry like an absolute baby every time I see it

YESTERDAY I was supposed to be doing chores but a grey bird caught my eye out the window. Was not a kinglet, was not a vireo, not a parula. I spent 50 minutes watching it and trying to figure it out.

Ended up being a ding dang female black-throated blue warbler! No mate seen, having girls night

My birch trees are absolutely swarming with ruby-crowned kinglets today. I think I’m counting at least seven?? #ABirdFromTheLord 🐦

I can only assume this oopsie tag is from Kelli’s brilliant talk and honestly, I’d be honored to be mistaken for being even as half as smart as she is.

Two mini snickers wrappers next to an empty torn packet that says “aspirin”

Halloween, age 35

sorry apparently I’m hungry

It’s a phrase to me that’s like sausage casing. The second you start thinking too much about how sausages are cased you get the ick. But if you just let it be there and do its job, well gosh this is a tasty and well spiced sausage

Jotting THAT down in my therapy notebook for later. Maryanne’s gonna have fun with that one

I watched an interview with Christina Aguilera (who we learned later had amazing vocal chops) and Raye, who I’ve somehow only just discovered. And then did a dive into Raye’s catalogue.

It makes me just want to sit and cry
