Finishing up cooking and canning the last of the tomatoes (green and red in November!!)
Green tomato relish: done.
Now working on the marinara sauce. Then one more round of something with green tomatoes. Perhaps green enchilada sauce. #canning #tomatoes #garden #gardening 🌱

Vincent Price reading Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven.”
One Halloween I went to hear him read it accompanied by a symphony orchestra. I may still have the ticket stub. 🐦⬛💀🎃

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Seattle windstorm season whipping up a froth right now. Everyone, even the antsy dog, has now fallen asleep. I stand on the wall.

Has anyone in #Seattle found #Novavax in a #pharmacy recently? I’ve called, scanned pharmacy websites and the Novavax website. Some places show they have it online but when you call or stop by you discover they don’t have it. #vaccine #vaccines #Covid19 #Covid #CovidVaccines #CovidVaccine

The cat started yowling l
late at night. He’s Siamese, so can be chatty, but this was NEW.
The behavior can mean many things, including thyroid. We were already waiting for test results so 🕥⏳💅
Tests showed hyperthyroidism. We started him on meds. He’s stopped the midnight yowling. #cats #pets

Replacing the water main today, 😳 as well as sealing the foundation/basement walls. 🤧Between the noise and the smell, I’ve given up on chores and have retreated to the point farthest away from all of the above with pets in tow. We are all the better for it.
