At the Aukammtal today. The crocuses are gone, but the hyacinth, daffodils, and blue bells have taken over the show.

So sad to hear that Haltom's in Fort Worth has permanently closed, and sadder to hear that the wonderful clock outside has been removed. My grandfather took me downtown to watch them move it in the 1970s. Photo: Sundance Square, 2015

Wonderful cover by Margaret Armstrong (1867-1944), one of the more than 314 that she designed.

There is no such thing as a "quick" household project, especially if the manager is there to add on tasks. And rarely does one get done without some sort of bodily injury. Illustration from The Century Illustrated 1888.

So, more than twenty years ago, I bought this lovely old gilt-paged book for $1. Stronghold, by Alfred Garth Jones illustration in The Unknown Quantity, Henry Van Dyke 1912.

The Scottish Sunday Herald TV guide featured this preview of the Trump inauguration.

It’s fucking brilliant.

This is what procrastination looks like, a clean vintage image from an 1894 nature book. One of three that I did today. Bindweed or Bindkraut (Convolvulus) which is the more general name for Morning Glory.

First full day on Bluesky, looking forward to the Frames App. To celebrate, here is a photo from White Sands, New Mexico, August 2008. It really brightens up these cold January days.
