This week's dinner plan is "eat things from the freezer so I don't break any toes when the frozen food avalanches out".

My husband's reaction to this: "Can't you move stuff to the basement freezer?"

Yes, yes I can. BUT THAT WILL JUST ENCOURAGE MORE FREEZER CRAMMING.

(I also don't trust it).

I know things seem awful tonight. Call if you can. Know that there are people fighting for you even if you feel abandoned in these times.

And there is beauty in this world.

Saw this beautiful work by Deborah Brown at the Wadsworth Atheneum and thought of #AlphabetChallenge

It's called Noooo

Apple cake!

It's meant to be a yogurt cake but I only had sour cream and it has a streusel of brown sugar and walnuts.

I keep the apple in larger chunks so it doesn't disappear and it's quite delicious.

I have spent days just wasting time because I didn't quite know what to do with myself but I am going to try to engage more today and not fritter away my time.

May I manage to be as useful and productive as this little fellow.

Applesauce muffins with pecan streusel.

9 did most of the work, heavily supervised.

Best ones I've ever had. More apple-y than usual, I think we used better quality applesauce.

I don't have many pics for #WeekSforShadows but I love the way my little one was looking up at me here.

The leaves do not care that it's getting dark earlier.

They are determined to glow regardless.

And last year...

The helmet had orange feathers plumes.

I sewed the patch, mail, tabard.

The hamburger.

It doesn't get better than this folks.

6 - a pirate - I sewed gold braid on an existing vest - he wore that pirate vest for years!! The shirt is mine. 🤣

9 - a Hershey bar! Drawn and painted and sewn myself.

(I MESSED UP THEIR AGES AT SOME POINT. WHATEVER. THIS IS RIGHT PROBABLY?)

A wee little ghostie.
7 was a Lamborghini driver in a purchased shirt but I made the ghost!

AS PROMISED!
(I was going to dig out the puffin costume to show you but you'll have to make do with blurry children).

3 - tamago (let me make it clear this was his idea)
6 - a puffin. It's his nickname and the fish on the beak are detachable.

Any rock people want to explain? Because I don't know why it's so cool!

Stress cleaning for the win.

I have been scrolling way more these past few days, unable to find the energy to do anything else.

Things feel particularly bleak and overwhelming right now and I am trying to cling to the things I love.

Here's some of the beauty still available in a garden, fading glory but still lovely.

I can't read the article but I DID receive this ad for hand-selected heirloom pumpkin arrangements & immediately sent it my friends because that is some real rich folks bullshit.

Cheapest was $325 not including arrangement or removal. Most expensive was 925.

They've already dropped their prices.
