Making friends with a squirrel who enjoyed some unsalted nuts and came back to thank me…and for more!

Unfortunately the glass slider is so heavy when open scares the little fellow away but he returns…
A squirrel with gray fur and a bushy tail stands on its hind legs holding a nut, against a gray stone background, conveying a curious expression. Curious squirrel peeks around a glass door, with a fall background of blurred trees and leaves. The scene feels playful and engaging.

Infusing some Sour Patch Kids with a strong thc alcohol tincture. Waiting for the alcohol to evaporate to enjoy and chill out. Have a bag of peach gummies infuse next 😋

I'll take the energy then would take a walk. For now I have some music and nice chill atmosphere.

Southeastern sky at sunset colors quite beautiful. The cold dry air brings out the hues.
Bare trees with thin branches against a pastel sunset sky of blue and pink, conveying a calm, serene atmosphere. Sparse houses in the background.

My grandfather Harvey Gray was in the trenches in France during WWI and wrote this letter home after being gassed by the “Boche” in May 1918…he was gassed 2x during the war. Received the Purple Heart and medal from France.

HARVEY GRAY. The following is a letter from Harvey Gray, one of our boys in France: Somewhere in France, May 15, 1018 My Dear Mother:-Will try and drop you a few lines today. It has been more than two weeks since I have had a chance to write to you, and I guess that I wouldn't have got this chance if something hadn't happened to me. We started on our fourth trip to the trench- wrowth tou be three days attend wrote to you the last time. been In the front line trenches twelve dnys. (We were in on a sixteen day shift). and on the 12th day we were attacked by eas and artillery and 1 quess every other think but liquid fire happened to be one of the unlucky ones and got slightly gassed. I am now in one of the base hospitals, but am feeling fine, I have been here three days and am in hoper to be back with my company within a week or two. am going to tell you how I happened to be gassed, but the censor may cut it out, so don't be surprised it you find a hole in this paper. I was on guard at one of the machine guns with another fellow. We went on Let nine o'clock in the evening and about 1,30 the next mornink the Boche the French call the Germans) sent a larse crowd of gas over. As sOOT 28 we found out that it was gas we both put our masks on. We had Just got our masks on when the Boche began to send over some of the gas in sheets mixed in with some shrapnel shells. They sent over about three or four thousand. Just as fast as they could They kept it up for make them fly The Boche had all of tbout an hour. our trenches covered with machine They kept up a steady fire on us for about two hours that kept the bombardment up until about 330 a.m. It was about 3 a. m. when the machine gun that covered the emplacement where my gun was stopped fring a few seconds, and I had to be on the lookout so that the Boche couldn't set at our eun without havink ua see them. had my head up above the edge of the emplacement when the Boche started their gun up again. I ducked my head down out of sight so that I wouldn't get hit by any of the bullets. The place was only about a foot deep. and when I dodred I rot some mud In a little nir valve in my mask and before I could ket it fixed I got four or five whiffs of gaя. There: I guess I have enoukh. so will close said about as this is all 1 the paper Ihave. Will write again when I get a chance. With love from Harvey.

As weather gets colder I am able to see sunrise better through the trees and autumn sunrises aglow in bed with my morning coffee.

Old friends gather and celebrate you photographing the occasion
Quite the party!

You left me to soon
Alone
Pain so great how can I celebrate?

Today I wish it was a wedding celebration but life happens and today is a celebration of life for my beautiful man. I was his last chapter, short, loving and incomplete…to be finished in the stardust of the universe.

T-shirt design for my beautiful Billy ❤️ will have at the Boston Freedom Rally.

The image and phrase Rest in Power really captures who Bill Downing was and what he left for those of us still living.

I try and feed the grief gods once a day but alas today they aren’t satisfied.

They want a Sunday Funday with Billy and Chi Chi, curl up on a summer day and enjoy the sounds and scents around and feel each other close.

Today it’s me and the plants.

Miss my beautiful Billy ❤️

Been dealing with a male waiting on someone take for the pollen. Got him tarped off in a corner 🤣

This one was a volunteer popped up out back…had a male (think Cherry Black) pollinate a Blueberry Muffin last year got some seeds and some volunteers, 2 male, one female.

Male cannabis plant in corner outside by fence Top of male cannabis plant with little flowers and lots of pollen sacks or “balls” Blue tarp covering male cannabis plant now unseen cannot spread pollen to female plants and seed them. 🙏

Brownie day today. Crunchy on the outside gooey on the inside with a nice euphoric effect with a mixture of cannabinoids 😊 need to find a way to capsule the effect but I think chocolate adds to the effect...chocolate extract might work...euphoric brownie capsules coming soon.
