Shepherd dog and young Flemish giant buck rabbit lying around in my chaotic not yet organized shop while I work on refinishing the spinning wheel

Large yarn spools saved and waiting to be finished with the Danish oil

#woodworking friends while I listen to a book and get ready to #danishoil finish the last of my spinning wheel parts. Some never having been finished to begin with, and needing repairs from decades of waiting for new to get around to it. #adhdcrafting #craftgoblin

It looks like a soccer mom power walking to tell the coach what for :)

That is super cool

But it’s looking great!

Baynes Colonial spinning wheel in parts on my work bench ready for a new coat of Danish oil finish. So much sanding and fiddling and figuring out how this thing works again.

Decades ago, I bought a Baynes spinning wheel. It’s gone thru divorce, child rearing, poverty, remarriage, multi state moves, all in the background of my life, waiting for me to circle back. Now she’s getting a refinish and new place in my empty nest. #spinning #spinningwheel #woodworking #diy

Maybe get concrete dye and make your own with a mold?

Turkey Eve!

Bye Sunny, you were so fun to have around. See you next month when your people go on a cruise! My recycling will never be the same :) #cockatoo #birdsofbluesky

A guerrilla gardener installed a pop-up wetland in the LA River. Here's how — and why Well-meaning city dwellers forgo permits and official procedure to rewild urban areas across the country. In downtown LA, artist Doug Rosenberg is trying to push the grassroots movement forward.

Oh, as a wetland neighbor, this is very exciting. www.npr.org/2025/11/17/n...

A little late in the season, but I put together a #wintergarden. I would like to thank moving boxes for a weed barrier, and FB marketplace for straw bales after a fall hay ride, wood boxes that had been used as a display case, and mushroom mulch! #bogwitch #gardening #birds #growingfood #cockatoo

So we seem to have a golden eagle family group! We thought we saw 4 the other day, but confirmed today. Wheeling around, playing in the wind. #bogwitch #wetlands #birds #eagle #birdsofbluesky #rvabeauty

We have to have a clothes hamper that closes on top. She gets her own and if she doesn’t swallow it, it most certainly has holes. Either way, dedsock

Dogs sacked out in the back seat with one smashing her foot into the other’s face

I *SQUISH* your head! #skydogs #malinoish

I’m so glad I collected all the recycling to take out. Can you tell we made chili last night? #parrotlife #cockatoo #parrotsky

Sunny the cockatoo raiding the recycling box and drinking the last of the soursop juice from the can

Soursop apparently a hit, from the recycling bin raider #cockatoo #parrotlife #skybirds

Apparently I’m not the only one nesting:) he found the cat bed while I was cleaning his cage. #cockatoo #skybirds #parrotlife

Today we’re at the vet. I decided to let them be the bad guys and do a beak, and nail trim #bogwitch #cockatoo #birdfamiliar #cockatoolife

Every Bog Witch needs a familiar, or three. Welcome to the fun, Sunny!

My arm covered in abrasions and scrapes

6) Gloves, one may even say long gloves. But really, bring a tool, don’t try to yank mystery weeds out of the water to get it moving. Be a hairless monkey, use tools.

My legs covered in abrasions and scrapes

My legs still looking rough after the most painful shower of my life.

5) Pants. I know it’s sunny and nearly 80, I said what I said.

Stuck in muck almost to the top of my boot!

4) If you’re trying to get close to the pond and find a pathway in, leave the same way you entered. No two directions are the same.

3) as tempting as it is, if you don’t have protective gear, don’t go digging around in the weeds just to get water flowing. Tomorrow is a good day also, with gloves.

2) The map is closer than walking it. The creek looks super close on the map, it is not close. But at least 4 wheelers have made big trails to it! Sure is lovely, tho so much trash back there which made me sad.

Ava the malinois/gsd running through the bog

Riot the asshole dog who doesn’t listen running through the bog

1) Charge the Fi collar. Soon after these pictures, the white faced dog, Riot, decided to take off when I was looking another way. This led to an hour of tramping through the woods looking for him, and while I was at it, the creek.

The closest I’ve gotten to my pond. View from the North side.

As a novice #bogwitch, I expected there to be a learning curve. Today was the first day I had the opportunity to take a walk through the #wetland to see what the terrain was like. Lessons were learned.

Boxes having tape removed to use as mulch/barriers for spring gardens

Moving boxes being converted to mulch for gardens at the new homestead :) #bogwitch #homesteading #gardening
