To get to the sunflower seeds, the Pine Grosbeaks have to contend with a lot of snow. They are angelic and lovely and sometimes have intriguing arguments with each other. Wish I understood. Love you. #birds 🪶📷 #yukonbirds

A Black-Capped Chickadee sits on the branch of a Spruce. It looks to its left. A Black-Capped Chickadee eats a seed while sitting on a Spruce branch. It is cute and floofy. All hail floof. Chickadee on Sprice branch looking to its right. Cute as freaking anything. Your new leader is a Chickadee. It will sing with you.

The lights came out in the Yukon tonight. Cloudy yesterday but was lucky tonight. Love you. #northernlights #yukonterritory
Aurora borealis, the northern lights. A wild, dancing glow of greenish light across the sky. ❤️ Aurora borealis, the northern lights.

Pine Grosbeaks came to the feeder today. They are wonderful and fun. #yukonbirds #birds
A male Pine Grosbeak sits on a branch of a Birch tree. He is red and pretty and looks like he is thinking. There might be a sunflower seed in his mouth but it is hard to be sure.

Dandelion sometimes lets me have a cuddle. This is a lovely gift even though I occasionally suspect she hopes I get devoured by an enormous carnivorous plant. #rabbit #lop #housedemon #cuddle #iloveyou

The other day in the trees (on the forest floor I mean) there were some delightful lichens and stumperies (no good pictures of the stumperies alas). Pretty amazing world in the understory. #boreal #lichen #yukonterritory 🌱
Lovely little green plants surviving a crust of ice. Seen in a boreal area of the southwest Yukon Territory on the traditional territory of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations Wiser minds can likely name these lichens. I can only love them.

Fire cider making again yesterday. Sometimes I give it away. This makes me feel lucky and happy when people say yes. Hope you are safe and warm. ❤️ #firecider #herbalremedies #plants #witchsky
This is a jar of the dry ingredients of fire cider, which is an old folk medicine to help fight colds and flus, to reduce inflammation and support healthy circulation and digestion, and to strengthen the immune system. Here is the recipe: Dry things to put in a jar: Ginger, turmeric, red onion, garlic, radish, hot chilies, cayenne, rosehips, elderberries, rosemary, sage, thyme, juniper, orange peel, black pepper. Cover these things with raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the mother, and seal jar with parchment paper between the liquid and the lid to prevent corrosion. Leave in dark place for a month, roughly, swirling it daily. After a month, strain into clean container and add honey or a vegan alternative to honey. Lasts for many months in fridge, up to 6 months.

May your merrymaking be delightful and if you are someone who does rituals on this day, I hope it went so beautifully. 🎃👻🌲🕯️

Leaves last month. They are all down now where I live. May good, warm rest find you and may solace fill your day, friend. #iloveyou #autumn #peace
Leaf Poplar leaf yellowed by time Fading sun through yellow leaves, a sign of fall. Pretty but a wee bit sad because I suck at winter activities and mope hard during winter. Red and yellow in this leaf. Fall is pretty. I should welcome it with love. And a sweater.

A little more snow today but these pictures from last month give me that “fall” feeling. Spring and fall are interesting in the Yukon. They feel fast, more like short interludes between nice summers and very long winters. Maybe they aren’t. Hard to say these days. #autumn #yukonterritory

A 2 hour drive to the vet early in the morning yielded a chance to see aurora that I’d have slept through otherwise. Mire reasons to be grateful for my dog. 💕 #northernlights #auroraborealis #yukonterritory

Rocky visited today to calmly rob the bird feeder. Always nice to see them. #redsquirrels
A Red Squirrel holds a seed in its paws and nibbles at it. A thief but a very cute thief. A Red Squirrel is in a Burch tree, holding a seed in its mouth while it looks upwards. It is cute despite the kleptomania. A Red Squirrel stands on its hind legs in a Birch tree. It has a seed in its mouth. Though it has committed enough petty theft to warrant a visit from Batman, I cannot help but love it. Side profile of a Red Squirrel, a genius of sticky-fingered bird feeder robbery and a very cute little shmoo.

Eat dandelions, even if you are named after them. Why not? #rabbit #lop #housedemon #nomnomnom 🐇

Dandelion can look angry while having breakfast because she likes a good scowl in the mornings. And nights. And afternoons. #lop #rabbit #housedemon #cronch

Once more with the fire cider. I make a pretty regular recipe with a few boreal extras like spruce and juniper. I have a huge crush on this stuff. The other day I was lucky to share some with someone and I was so happy that they were not afraid of it. #firecider #coldandfluseason #autumn
This is a jar of fire cider, which is raw apple cider vinegar, ginger, turmeric, onion, garlic, chilies, lemon, and a variety of beloved herbs and friends. Another jar of fire cider, the blue things are juniper, not berries, but you could put berries if you like. The is is a small jar of fire cider with a bit of a mix of things, including juniper and spruce. A few nights ago I was walking and felt like there must be a spotlight or some kind of floodlight behind me, but I was on a trail and it was the moon. It gave me a shadow it was so bright. It put the Yusuf Cat Stevens “moonshadow” song in my head in the nicest way.

Dandelion having a sunbath. Audio off because my dog was in the room while I filmed this and was licking himself and grunting happily, but I was worried that it would seem like those sounds were coming from me. I love this rabbit but not in that way, fear not. 😂 #rabbit #bunny #housedemon #pets

Dandelion takes ear-hygiene very seriously. It is adorable. Soon she will return to violent pursuits and plotting revolution, but at the moment it is all about the bath. #rabbit #lop #housedemon #bathtime

This week it has felt like autumn in a few ways that I really cherish. Walks with crunching leaves, changes in the sky’s light and colour, a few brave butterflies waking on a warm day, hopefully finding love and having a great life. Happy times to you. 🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂
Lovely brown butterfly with cream coloured edges and little blue spots. Just wonderful. Sunrise in the Yukon this week This is some kind of neat fungus growing on a dead stump. It was mostly coppery brown shades but had a pale edge. This is a stump, growing lichens and lovelies that I cannot name. Taken this week on a walk in the southwest of the Yukon.
