Many (white-tailed) deer seen in walk through town/neighbourhoods to the Co-op (grocer's). On the way there, a boy and his (hoped for) harem; on way home, just the girls being naughty by nibbling rose bushes.

So a very “fall” (autumn) day and launching right into baking mode. Strawberry pecan quick bread recipe I’m trying out here—then, this afternoon, grape pie.

Excuse, pls, the condition of the oven window etc

You (and your choice) have bewitched me. I've been curious about this saga for some time. (just ordered, dammit)

I read widely differing things (some oddity of my psyche?), but anyway -- a favourite is in quite another vein from Peake ...

Great evening last night with the appropriately loquacious ☺️ @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social -- Q & A (and #newbook ) at Boise's beautiful Egyptian Theatre

What a treat 🍰

After yesterday's (welcome) rain, I walked. At one point I caught a glimpse of a strange movement in a backed-up gutter at a street corner.

Upon closer inspection, it was a tiny frog (1"/3cm) clinging to a fallen leaf.

One of my favorite books in the world is *Valley of Animals* by Elma M. Williams.

And here is Jezebel who is brilliant, communicative, rather possessive, and sports the most magnificent whiskers.

(happy birthday!!)

The borage is being somewhat over-exuberant…as is its wont.

Tomato stoically enduring.

I'm just catching up on the #rabbitrabbit thing, but serendipitously, we've recently met a small fella who's spending time in our back garden of late, and who explored our (outbuilding) studio briefly, just yesterday. This is Bert

I suppose I am the last person on Bluesky to have read Shirley Jackson's *The Haunting of Hill House*...
what crystalline brilliance

The opening paragraph is itself a masterwork in #horror

Also pleased she had no fear of semicolons ;

Blambot are a superior #font foundry. If you are an #indywriter and create your own #bookcovers you should (IMHO) make sure the font faces you use are properly licensed.

Enjoy browsing! (temporary discount code in graphic)

Just got a BookBub notice that *MIRRORLAND* (Carole Johnstone) is on sale at Kobo, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.

I read this book about six months ago.

Don't think I will ever forget it.

Brilliant dark psychological mystery neo-gothic

Having just finished Alan Moore's The Great When (*****),
I'll be starting, by @premeemohamed.com , The Annual Migration of Clouds.

In both cases, my first read by these authors.
