Can we return to December? At least then the threat of Annexation was mixed with some whimsy on my feed.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…
A dark blue mug with an American flag reads “AMERICA 1776 – 2026”

All that snow is pretty heavy! Those trees between us and our neighbour are about 20ft tall but are pushed down much lower. And poor birds! We'll clean off the feeder tomorrow once the snow completely stops. #HaliSky
A very white and snowy photo! You can see many branches of trees that are weighed down by a lot of snow that is sticking to the branches. In the background you can see the flat roof of the next house, which is also covered in snow. A white and snowy backyard! There is at least a foot of fresh snow on the ground, clinging to the bushes. There is also a black pole and on top of that is a light blue bird feeder, just barely sticking out from all the snow. The perch and food part are completely covered in it, as is the roof.

Only a very specific baking audience is going to care about this but apparently the company that makes Silpat has abruptly shut down. I’m personally buying up ones I can find from secondary retailers cause these things are irreplaceable. I’m bummed.
After many years of passion, craftsmanship, and commitment, we want to share an important update with you. As of January 7, 2026, Maison Demarle has ceased its operations. Our workshops are now closed. For decades, the Silpat and Flexipan brands have been built and carried by dedicated teams deeply committed to product quality and to the trust of our customers. Every product reflected our passion for innovation, performance, and excellence. We would like to sincerely thank you for your loyalty, your messages, and the support you have shown us throughout the years. It has truly meant more than words can express.

if anyone has been curious what all the mess of Alderney is
in part it is to expose more canal
but also to improve the people flow between both sides of it

The very last of my tomatoes, frozen at the end of summer last year 😭
A large glass pyrex measuring cup that has many frozen tomatoes inside. There are large, medium and grape varieties in reds and red-browns. The measuring cup is sitting on a glass tray inside of a microwave.

We're spending New Year's Eve at home, with lots of snacks and drinks (NA for me), with our cats and a fire on. Maybe we'll put on the CBC feed for the midnight countdown. I'll probably read my book for a while before that.

How about you?

Maybe stay home if you can. 😬

last night @candice.eastcoastcandice.com and I were driving around admiring Christmas lights, and after seeing a cute inflatable unicorn I wondered why there weren't any My Little Pony xmas inflatable decorations because that seemed like an obvious thing

and then i found ponkie here
an inflatable christmas lawn decoration intended to be Pinkie Pie with a Santa hat on, except her nose is kind of flattened and way too low

A four-panel comic. In panel one, a female northern cardinal and winter plumage american goldfinch are sitting at a bird feeder in a grey landscape. The cardinal says "These seeds are delicious." The goldfinch replies "Mmm-hmm." In panel 2, there's a close up of the birds at the feeder, and the cardinal says "It was nice of the human to put up this feeder." The goldfinch says "Sure was." In panel 3, the cardinal says "We should return the favor." The goldfinch says "Great idea." In panel 4, there's a pullback shot of the bird feeder, and a human is staring at it and also at a large stick next to it with a pink-iced donut at the end of it.

Bitey
"Do you remember what you were like when you were younger?" asks one crow to another as they are landing on wet snow. "Bitey" replies the second crow. "Right... but do you remember what it was like to BE you?" "What did you think about? Have you changed fundamentally? How can you really know?" The first crow is pondering. The background is a pattern of blue circles. "I guess I don't bite as much as I used to" answers the second crow. "You bite enough" says the first.
