This is an unedited 3 second iPhone exposure. It was not this bright in real life, but definitely visible with the naked eye, especially the pinks!

The friendly garden spider who has lived on our porch all summer was gone this morning, but there is an egg sac in the corner, and I’ve gone all sentimental about it. I’m thinking about Charlotte’s Web, and friendship, and kindness, and how life goes on even through grief and cold, dark winters… 🥺

Happy Halloween! I made a quilted, patchwork, floppy-brimmed witch’s hat and posed with my sidekick, Agnes, before taking the kid downtown for treats. #quiltsky #handmadehalloween

Home and recovering. My heart was uncooperative and they were not able to induce my arrhythmia to complete the ablation. Between my previous ER visit and subsequent hospital stay, specialist visits and today’s procedure, I’ve hit my insurance out of pocket max. And I’m back to square one.😒💸

Sunday scenes.
Got a bunch of meal prep done this afternoon in preparation for (and as a distraction from) my cardiac ablation tomorrow and subsequent recovery. Feeling both anxious and excited to potentially be rid of SVT for good! Prayers and/or good vibes appreciated!
