Night all!

I actually got out this afternoon, the first time in days and I did a short walk with Joni. I was so glad just to be out that I did a lot of just standing and looking. Looking at the clouds, the light, the trees... Everything. What a joy. It was cold […]

One dozen favorite photos I took in 2025.

All my photos are taken on my property, often from my window. It may have become trite, but there’s a lot of beauty in the mundane world if you stop to look.

It looked like this red-bellied woodpecker was about to spread its wings and fly giving me a face-on photo, but the more energy efficient hop was chosen.

I still got a decent capture.

Comedy intentionally misses a target to hit a mark.

In my family the big family get-together was on Christmas Eve.

Christmas day, my brother and I spent in our pajamas playing with our gifts. My mom cooked some kind of one-pan roast & veg dish requiring little effort and my dad read.

Basically we did nothing all day.

A tradition I still uphold.🎄

A boggled mind is the new norm.
I'm not sure I'd know what to do with an unboggled one any more.

A friend with a 'cold' (?), feeling ill went into the hospital to spend the night with her sister who needs someone with her at night.
I'm sure she wore her baggy blue. (Except when she had to blow […]

I took a photo of one of my tree ornaments and spiffed it up with text and a vignette effect.

Wishing everyone the best!

The foxes have been fairly quiet of late. That's not entirely true. We can *hear* them calling, but we're seeing them less frequently as they get down to their winter business. Lopa the vixen is still showing up on a semi-regular basis and she's looking in […]

I would watch the hell out of duck curling if that became an Winter Olympic sport.

It’s time you learned the truth about Santa.

Santa Claus is the character who gives gifts, and was not created by any corporation.

Santa Clause is the intellectual property of Disney corporation, created as a pun on the fact that Claus and Clause are homophones.

The sun is setting so early. I nearly missed this on our walk. It was good to get out after a busy day in the kitchen and getting the week's washing done.

I hope you all have a lovely Friday evening!

Goodnight all.
