We came home this afternoon to find 6 wild turkeys hanging out in our back yard. Here’s 4 of them, photographed from a very respectful distance.
A zoomed-in shot of a fence at the end of a driveway. There are 3 large wild turkeys behind the fence and one perched on top.

Pretty excited to get my favorite pan out and make these pumpkin-cream cheese skulls! Happy Samhain and Happy Halloween!
On a purple platter are six skull shaped whoopie pies. They are pumpkin cake with cream cheese filling.

When your back has been hurting for a few days so you pull a tarot card and get this. Like dang, cards, message received.
The 10 of swords depicts a person who has literally been stabbed in the back. In context of this reading, it is likely a stern warning to rest and recuperate.

Happy Mabon! Sharing a harvest meal of vegetable soup and garden tomatoes with fresh-baked sourdough and cheese, with apple cinnamon bread for dessert! Enjoy the equinox!

Still laughing about this exchange with my daughter, who is taking her learners permit test after school today 😂
Screenshot of a text message app: Sent at 7:53 am—“Hi! Do you want to be an organ donor?” Received at 9:29 am “what” “lol” “what an ominous thing to say with no context”

lol, sure! I’m back home but here they are kicked off on the mud room floor. They’re barefoot, step-in shoes! My favorite this summer

Today I wore my pastel rainbow Evee shirt, pink Scottie dog purse, and rainbow sneakers, and I have to say, I am VERY popular here in the waiting room of the autism center.
A woman’s shoulder and arm are visible. She is wearing a Hawaiian style pastel button up shirt covered in various evolutions of the character Evee from Pokémon. She is holding a small, coral-pink leather purse with a jaunty Scottie dog on it.

Today is my husband’s 50th birthday and I wanted to get him something spectacular. He’s a HUGE fan of David Lynch—he made me watch all of Twin Peaks before we got married. So how lucky was I to be able to get this bass guitar in David Lynch’s estate sale?? He’s so happy, I’m so happy for him 😁

Happy Lughnasadh! Celebrating with this blackberry crumble I made with freshly harvested blackberries from my garden! Happy Harvest, Witches!
Close up of a freshly baked blackberry crumble cooling on a stovetop. The berries look juicy and purple and the crust looks sweet and crunchy.

Started my morning sitting in the sunshine, drinking coffee in my herb garden with my little dogs, feeling good 😊
A Sun-drenched backyard. In the background, tall leafy green trees against a clear blue sky. A yard of crisp green grass. In the middle-ground, a stone patio. There’s a table and chairs with a bright red umbrella over it. Three large containers full of lush, thriving herbs are in front of the table. A happy Scotty dog with black fur trots past the herb garden. In the foreground, a large pink and white coffee cup rests on a white table.

My D&D group has been playing a campaign in the Midgard setting but it’s winding down, so we’re starting a new one in the Southlands of Midgard, and I am SO EXCITED about my new character (a recently widowed Aasimar bard from Ishadia)

So these punks woke me up at 5:30am on a Saturday because they desperately wanted to go back to sleep downstairs. 🤨
A leather sofa in a living room bathed in grayish morning light. There are two Scottish terriers draped luxuriously across the sofa. One is cuddling with a fuzzy blanket. The other is draped over the backrest. You can practically hear them snoring.

Celebrated our liberation with a trip to the MOMA, where I saw several of my all-time favorite paintings.

Husband bought a lovely new wreath for the front door, so I went to swap out the old one, and discovered a bird’s nest and 5 tiny eggs in the old wreath. So, I guess that one is staying. (We still have to use the door though…)
Close up of a birds nest made of grass, straw, and some kind of fur inside a wreath on a blue door. Four of the eggs are light blue and one is speckled with brown dots.

This is the level of pastry-based drama I accidentally inflicted on the service bay at Audi. I may never live this down.
Screenshot from the game Cookie Run Kingdom in which two chocolate cookies wearing armor are sword fighting. Dark Cacao’s dialogue is “Foolish whelp! You dare come here with that blade drenched in sin and strawberry jam?”

Thank you very much, stranger who once peed where I did.

When you work hard to find a restaurant that meets your autistic kid’s needs and you get there to discover the forks look like this 😓
A very skinny, 3 tined steel fork lays on a small plate.

Listen, Duolingo, this is some BS. (Both words mean doctor, but if you tap the feminine one, it’s marked wrong.)
A screenshot shot for Duolingo. The prompt is “she has to call the doctor.” The answer is “Ella tiene que llamar al (blank)” and the options are “medica and medico” both of which mean doctor but one means a female doctor and the other means a male doctor. If you click on the female doctor, it registers as an incorrect answer, which is some bullshit, you feel me?

We haven’t had a fish since Hercules Mulligan died 3 months ago, but today we brought home King Alistair to rule over his 10 gallon kingdom.
Close up of a betta fish swimming in a tank. His long fins flow around him like veils. He’s is red with stripes of bright coral and tiny patches of bluish-white on the tips of his fins. He swims in front of a black glass background. To his left is a faux-stone hiding structure and to his right is a green silk plant

I am very mildly sick with a cold and once again, Varric will not leave my side nor allow anyone near me for too long. He demands to be cuddled regularly to reassure himself that I am still alive.
On a bed covered with gray sheets, a small wheaten Scottish terrier lays upside down with all his paws in the air and his nose facing the camera.

It’s really coming down outside!

We got just over 3 inches of snow overnight! Just enough to look pretty and cause a 2 hour school delay so everyone got to sleep in!

My middle schooler wanted to get more exercise so I’ve set him up with Hatsune Miku Fitness Boxing.
