I switched to my phone where I have some pictures. The first one we did was just hearts using a cookie cutter as a form. Then we did pumpkins, and saguaro cactus, and lastly cartoon bunnies. That isn't mine but it was the least scary one I had a photo of.

Oh! A little friend came to visit. I chased him down to my leg then stuck my leg out of the car to knock him off. My car might be warmer, but I think it’s better outside. He scurried under some leaves.

Blue, kind of spectorish
Yellow, the head and arm of a child trying to crawl over the wall

I took a couple of pretty pictures today before I left Erie. Drove Presque Isle.
I really like the colors. The water almost looked turquoise. The dark skies also added to it.

I think I might need to eat more than this. The most distinctive I had as a tasting was the Eau de Pickle. If you like dill... They say it mixes well with Bloody Mary.
I actually liked their Landlocked Rum, and I don't like rum particularly.

This was what came out of my productive evening the other day. I haven't had one of those this week. I didn't want my appliances to get dusty or gross, so I sewed up some covers.

What I've been tackling the last few eveningsq to get to the side of my house to remove the vines that were growing up it.
Got to it tonight, except for one corner of an old carport/basement that is a huge knot of poison ivy. I cut what I could reach. Might need to resort to poisoning it.

Here's my harness racing lesson so far today. You break stride at the beginning, it's almost impossible to make that up.
Also, I would be doing poorly if I were betting.

There's some left over, but I got a lot of compliments on this. There was so much food.
And then the second round of people came at 4 and my cousin did a fish fry... so yummy. I'm melted and need water.

I might have over baked the bottom. It sort of candied and is hard to get out of the pan, but it's tasty.

I was reading @noraphoenix.bsky.social’s Befriending the Bear and a line struck me. She wrote, “but loss was loss. It carved you hollow and left you to figure out how to fill the space.”
I needed to respond to that. Never get fan art from me. This is what came out, instead.
