Frog loves his new long-john’s.

Samesies, Frog, samesies.

Charlie has such a stressful life.

For everybody...

Hustled to Trader Joe’s today as I was dying to try the Horseradish and Dill potato chips. And managed to snag one of the Mystery Bags bags. I got Texas, Minnesota, and, my fave, one praising George Washington Carver, with cookie recipe on the bottom of the bag.

I call this “Guess what recipe he just found.”

71, huh? Doesn’t feel much different than 70. At least I have some gorgeous earrings from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social to celebrate in.

For my birthday, my daughter gave me the set of White Nights paints so I played with them last night. This morning I thought the splooshes looked like clouds a dragon might play in. So…

Today’s watercolor doodle inspired by my love of hearing Dulaney High School’s marching band practice!

I love your guys. These days I mostly feel like this one.

Flowers! These started as just red, pink, and oranges splooshes.

Don’t look

Morning, Womble! I’m about halfway through Peter May’s The Black Loch, his newest Lewis mystery. I’ve read at least one of the previous ones, but a long time ago, so the events from the past mentioned here just ring very faint bells.

Aww…he’s got a nose smudge like our Charlie!

Good morning! I’m reading two at once. The House at Devil’s Neck by Tom Mead - a very Sherlockian locked-room mystery…a little dry.

And From Above by Martin Panchaud, a graphic novel told, well, from above. In symbols. Interesting.

Came to me in the shower this morning. I have no idea why.

If it fits, I sits.

Time to get this day going, I guess.

By “flying” do you just mean running around fast? These are the daddy-long-legs I’m familiar with. No wings… though my brother chased me around our house with one once.

Good morning to you, Womble! I am currently enjoying Mia Tsai’s The Memory Hunters, a dystopian novel with some fascinating concepts and a compelling story.

5 a.m. note: I think it’s safe to say that Charlie is feeling comfortable with us.

Perfect fall day for my special order sweatshirt from @brat2381.bsky.social . Earrings from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social

Obviously I am concentrating too hard on pushing the shutter to possibly smile, too! (And lordie, did I ever inherit my father’s mouth.)

Here is Charlie, next to his favorite thing in the whole wide world. Hint: It is not me.

Finished The Fall of Koli this morning, and yes, I got teary.

Now on to @emilytesh.net ’s The Incandescent. Just read the first chapter. I think this is going to be fun.
