Lots of people have Thanksgiving cacti. I have a Halloween cactus.

Great photo of the bird. Also I like the one of the web with thr little orange bit that looks kind of like a wee pumpkin.

This is what grew from a sweet potato that I overlooked in the kitchen. It had grown a stem about 12 inches long. So I planted it. It probably won't have little sweet potatoes but it was an interesting experiment.

I found you. I have to reply here because Wordpress won't let me reply on your blog. It doesn't like my email and the FB button doesn't work.
Lack of ice cream after modern life annoyances is almost tragic. Pie is a good substitute.
The moose must really hate those flies.

I have soaked fountain pen nibs in warm water. Sometimes they dry out and need moisturizing. That's my theory anyway.

And after it's had a vacation, it might decide to work again.

Seems that conservative or ultra conservative Christian groups over the last 2000+ years automatically default to an OT authoritarian God. Lots of "righteous" anger and smiting of sinners (people who disagree with the guy who's the Dear Leader of the moment).

Ah, but they have 11 snow plows in Florida to handle ther situation.

It was an interesting tour. I was hoping the Tesla truck would do something stupid in the snow. You got more snow than we did up here in MA. But we're in negative temperature land till Friday.

Oh, do try! Works for me. That and good chocolate.

The old backyard fireplace with snow.

I didn't sign up for Threads and I don't remember why I didn't but it seemed like a good reason at the time. Now my FB feed is littered with bits of Threads posts as enticements to go on over there and join up. Yeah, nah.

I've seen a few out and about. They get uglier each time I do. I can't see how one can do anything trucky with them. Can't even coal roll.

Brown leaf lies on a light dusting of snow.

First snow of winter 2024/2025. Lighting a little hour or two...and gone.

Things found in my creepy cellar. Patchwork china cat. Weird mushroom figurine. Strange colonial guy in a 3 cornet hat. Pekingese tea pot. Old olive oil bottle. Copper candle holder.

His new appointees will be looking into it. They'll find it. Even if it doesn't exist.

I just got here and am glad I found you.

Night on my street.
