Tonight's dinner; vegan reuben sandwiches on fresh baked, toasted rye bread w/marinated "corned" tempeh, melted (plant based) cheese, sauerkraut, sliced garden tomatoes, homegrown spicy sprouts & homemade thousand island dressing. So good! 😁

Amazing abundance of basil in my garden! End of November, doesn't look like it'll be getting cold enough to freeze it any time soon...thanks for the pesto, climate change!

It's been so nice, weather-wise, here in southeast Arizona. Still feels "garden-ish". Here's a new set inspired by this vibe...still feels like end of summer, but these are the "Last Roses"

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️
Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.
Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Hurricane Priscilla brought us a wet present over this past weekend. We had nearly no power towards the end, but the water! Our desert landscape is so lush right now!

One of my favorite creations; my gemstone wrap bracelet/necklace designs are not only versatile, but so lusciously colorful! This set features an abstract "treasure" mix of sterling, Coral, turquoise & chrysoprase beads, with a handmade gaspeite & sterling focal.

Years ago, when our last beloved doggo died, we planted him in the yard with a small, standard issue barrel cactus I'd had in a pot to top him off. Now the cactus is large & healthy and has different colored flowers than any of our other barrels. I can only think it's Jadie's energy.

Day 55 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😮
Let’s bust a BIG myth:
Jumping spiders aren’t aggressive, they’re just misunderstood 💚 They’d rather observe, explore, and wave their little arms than pick a fight. They shouldn't be punished for merely existing 🥺 #jumpingspider

Oh, the desert is coming to life with the recent rains! Not just lots of greening up, but critters galore!
Spotted on tonight's evening walk; little baby alligator lizard, one of several tarantulas that's just shown up & one of several resident gilas.

Enough to make a trouble spot in our living room ceiling leak & to stir up a horde of flying termites...but water, YEAH!!
