Behold, the rarely seen Crowhawk! Inspired by the human mohawk this feather style only shows up on snowy days. Crows Rock!

Friday Crow Affirmations: Winter is a dark time but you're taking care of yourself the best way you can through small steps, grace, and kindness to yourself. When spring is here, you'll be ready soar.

Winter wings. ♥️ (I'm editing today so I don't have any fancy words to spare.)

Frozen cake for breakfast? Sounds good to the Crows. Sharp beaks mean full bellies on this 26F/-1C morning.

Today's Crow Cafe picture! Sunny skies and high flying crows after the big storm

It's snowing and apparently Crows don't go out to eat in the snow? so here's yesterday's very determined customer to get you through the snowy afternoon.

Menu change at the Crow Cafe! With snow predicted we're switching to a winter menu of puppy food. Bigger pieces for more energy in these dark cold months. So far the breakfast #crow crowd is on board!

Some restaurants need an open sign. At the Crow Cafe we've got this guy, screaming that I've started serving breakfast from the minute I open the doors until the breakfast rush ends.

They were fluffing up their feathers to defend their spot at the Cafe, but even calm they were still impressively large. Giving Boss crow energy.

If you're a liberal, witchy, or Proud 🏳️‍🌈 quilter, you need the @badassquilter.bsky.social in your life. She just joined us here. Welcome, Maddie!

The morning rush at the Crow Cafe.

Over the summer I only had one very demanding crow, Karen. Now on a good day we have a rush as the sun rises and on a bad day there are no #crows.

Alt: seven to eight crows swoop down to eat breakfast while cawing loudly. Behind them is the morning sunrise.

I don't want to shock anyone, but we're taking down *some* of the Halloween decorations. Just some, not all. Don't want to rush things. Definitely leaving the Halloween tree up for another week or two.

A dramatic action shot from today's opening of the Crow Cafe. This was the scene at 6:51, by 6:54 the crows were gone.

(So was the crow chow, but I've restocked. Hopefully we'll get a second seating.)

On a good day, my Crow cafe feeds a bunch of crows and gives me great photos. Today, alas, only 2 crows and no great photos. So here's a classic from way back in September. That's Karen, a regular visitor who doesn't always approve of the service I provide.

Second draft finished! Stephen King said “2nd draft = 1st draft - 10%.” I'm close - an 8% reduction.

1st draft: started 1/3, finished 4/30 - 126,123 words
2nd draft: started 9/22, finished 11/16 - 115,738 words

Now it goes to 2 readers before another draft, then a developmental edit, etc. etc.

Hello world! I write about witch detectives, dragons, demons, monsters, and vampires. I post about crows. Expect lots of crow pictures. Also I'll probably talk about Disney, Marvel, Star Trek, Star Wars, Running, Lifting, Knitting, Quilting, and lots of other (mostly geeky) things.
