There's a very limited window when you can enjoy the sound of dogs running on newly fallen leaves!

The BEST sound!

If I have to sit here and drool over the thought of this ice cream - you do too!

If anyone needs Luine from now until - oh…June - she’ll be right here on her heaty pad in front of the pellet stove.

All the SQUEE!

Bebe Pacific Sideband (Monadenia fidelis) - prettiest snails ever - even in miniature.

Shell not even 1cm yet - adults average 29cm! It will take this bitty 2 full years to get there - but they can live up to 10 years, so no hurry!

For my Artist Peeps!

Saw this dead tree at my fam cabin & knew some of y'all would LOVE to draw this. It's so epic!

Guess what new-to-her critter Kiff found in the yard at 5:30 a.m. ??

You have 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count! 😂😭🤢

You will also guess what my ENTIRE HOUSE smells like right now.

The sign of a good walk in the woods is you have leaves and fir needles on your face!!

Threaded the needle for this shot of a Western Gray Squirrel who was *sure* I could not actually see them. 😂

There's a massive hatch of wooly aphids right now and the Robins are here for it!

This Ms. knew the seeds on the Oregon Ash would make a picture perfect frame.

Went to Union Creek in the Rogue River NF to close up family cabin for winter - and of course a Steller's Jay stopped by to supervise...

...the peanuts I brought. They came to supervise Peanut Distribution not "Proper Cabin Closing Procedure"

Zoom AI transcription from Oct. 21 local City Council Meeting.

Does Zoom AI know something we don't know, or is it just projecting the desires of AI and tech bros everywhere...

Also, yes, in case there was any doubt - Zoom AI - like all AI sucks.

Apologies for lack of recent Steller's Content!

No lack of Steller's - but sore lack of time!

Here's one from last week! #birds #becurious

Kiff is ready for her audition for the next Mad Max film.

OR - yes, it takes a collar, harness, then a separate martingale collar which is clipped with the leash to her harness, a muzzle and the KEEP AWAY leash just to get her to the vet 😂 oh and the Suspender Sock too

Muzzle is vet request 1/2
October 23, 2025 at 1:11 AM
Okay, if you DON'T know...

Kiff's coat 😂
October 22, 2025 at 3:07 PM
Only hoodie I'll ever need for the rest of my life!

Huge bonus was little cherry charm coincidentally arrived in mail same day (random free gift that came with cheap earrings I'd ordered)

So now it's also Kiff's jacket!! IYKYK

Think @mariannedenton.bsky.social will truly appreciate this

Good news - Kiff's cyst was benign! (JUST got results 14 days from surgery)

Bad news - I kept wound "too covered" per vet *sigh*

Now per vet rec we have "Suspender Sock" (his term) - yup I pinned elastic band to sock, around her back, back to sock to keep it on. More air to wound. #DogsOfBluesky
