when you're burned, you've got nothing. no pets, no insta & you're not going anywhere.
ça que c'tait.
a couple of rainouts & some much needed mental health time & the 1/72 typhoon moggy & 1/72 ct114 tutor for snowbirds are coming along.

my story is in the blue brackets. been there 10 months. put it there just before i got my most recent award. it was true then & is true now. bulletin board material matters.

"there seems to be something wrong with our bloody logic today."

super chuffed to find a ct-114 tutor for the snowbirds in 1/72. but it's a hobbycraft kit & they are notoriously devoid of detail so i found pics & scratch built belts & lines & added detail from my HO trains (esp buckles) & a hasegawa pilot

these will be the moggy display typhoon to go with the 1/24 car door. the hasegawa kit is good with everything fitting nicely so far. excellent loadout to supply the spares box.

did something different with these. i have to cook them at the cottage but i can use a water bath at home. plus i used a diff method on the whipped cream to stabilize it. chelle says they're ok.

this green anole tried to come to school with me. it's like it knows i need all the help i can get these days.

all three of our monarch butterflies made it!

i know i mostly post food, cute reptiles, & airbrushing but i thought i'd cleanse the timeline with a newly emerged monarch butterfly on our deck
September 19, 2025 at 2:48 PM
got some new toys. time to experiment.
September 14, 2025 at 9:50 PM
two of the tiniest green anoles. we think they're after the butterfly chrysalids we have in the planters on the deck

watered the lawn. made a friend.

today's experiment was 2 hrs of steaming this. did i get it?

@ouelletteme.bsky.social, the kids, & i have been saying good-bye to "grrpoff" (& sussing some complicated details of a complicated man). he was an entirely different man here, with so many of chelle's happiest memories of him occurring in this place.

managed to make this pie with that stove (it's a kitbashed stove; iykyk).
admittedly pretty chuffed.

in this life i have only gotten 2 things right, marrying @ouelletteme.bsky.social 32 yrs ago today & our kids.

the word is that these turned out even though i'm using the cottage utensils & implements; the cottage whisk. rainy days mean treats, regardless.

rainy day at cottage used to mean mccain cake for breakfast but we are gluten free b/c of older child's cœliac

from the hockey gear on the clothesline to the 3 part 270° view across the bay, it feels pretty good to be back in a free country.

as i was loading the van, this turtle came scurrying across the basketball court as if to join us

you know it's hot--real feel was 99°F--when the skink finds shade.
June 19, 2025 at 9:12 PM
i changed my recipe for the crust. 🤞
June 18, 2025 at 2:47 AM
@ouelletteme.bsky.social did a fantastic job making the gluten free bumpy cake fir (early) father's day (tl;dr).

btwn the rains is a busy time today for the skinks. after chasing away the other skink that occupies the front step, this 5 line skink has retreated to its spot under the post.
