This isn’t been on my to-do list for a while, and it was not easy to get the seaweed to cooperate in my tiny food processor, but I present to you homemade nori komi furikake! It’s very simple; just roasted seaweed, sugar, sesame, seeds, and salt. I love this seasoning. Put it on all sorts of stuff.
Picture of my hand holding a jar of rice seasoning, and beneath it in the boat, you can see the powdered seaweed, the sesame seeds, the salt, and the raw sugar Here’s the finished product all mixed together put back in its jar

Did you know nutmeg is loaded with antioxidants and minerals like manganese and copper that can support digestion, relaxation, and reducing inflammation? I sprinkled a tiny bit in my coffee today and it’s so tasty, warming, and cozy I’ll definitely be doing this again. ☕️

A magical sight this morning: whitetail deer grazing in the farmer’s field! Two bucks and a doe. After the bucks left, the doe and I stood and looked at each other for a long while. Such lovely creatures. 🦌

You’ll never believe what I just found…!
While I was decluttering, I put some hair ties in my apothecary cabinet, and lo and behold in one of the drawers was the candy corn that I hid from myself lol

Project of the day! I thrifted these white metal shelves for $4 and knew they would be perfect for the this wall. I also decluttered everything and filled half of my car with donation items. I can now more easily do laundry in this tiny room! 🧺

Next up: decluttering the craft supplies & loft. 📦
This is a picture of my laundry room. It has mustard, yellow walls, brown flooring, and I’ve just put up some wire metal shelves that now has things like spray, hands and tools and there’s gloves hanging off of it and I also put a little wire rack to hang the vacuum on, etc. it looks very tidy in here. Similar view from just straight on so that you can appreciate that there’s a clear walking space now no more bins and boxes cluttering the floor up!

Good morning! 🎶 🌞

Upsetting dream again, but some honest & compassionate video journaling took care of that. I darted outside to let out the chickens, harvest some marigold seeds & calendula flowers, and now it’s time for reading on my sun-soaked deck. Very grateful for all that I am & have.

I spoke a bit too soon! She is perturbed, patrolling back-and-forth between them like a little mall cop. 😅

However, she will settle in eventually, because you can only poke at what is (essentially) a moving rock so much before you get bored.

After one hour of acclamation (30 mins floating in the bag, 30 mins tank water incrementally added) the pumpkin nerite snails are in their new tank and already crawling around! And they’re so unobtrusive and crawling so slowly that Miss Moon seems not to have even noticed them? Amazing! Perfect.👌

The floor is small gray pebble stones and you can see the white half moon Betta fish, miss moon, swimming in the background and the two orange snails on their rock

Good morning! A huge barometric pressure jump (.32 Hg) at 5am caused a wild dream that woke me up, but I got back to sleep and now it’s 44°F, cool and very fresh out, so I’m having coffee, reading & planning on my deck. The chickens are exploring & Bella came to visit me on her morning potty run.

I’m having fun. 🥹

Difficult to explain exactly how much this little house means to me. And a very old one at that (like the ones I’ve pinned to my wish list.) I spent a good portion of my childhood with my head stuck in a dollhouse! This is very precious, and a chance to make newer mini memories. 🪑
A picture of my new dollhouse and I’m starting to put some of my miniatures as well as miniature Christmas decorations in each of the rooms, it’s a little chaotic, but colorful and lively, I love it A picture that shows my vantage point from my recliner when I look across the room to that corner, you can see my dollhouse and it has little furniture inside my house plants, my floor lamp, my curio cabinet on the wall, etc.

I’m on a budget, but I miss my childhood dollhouse. So when I saw this pop up on FB marketplace for $25, I drove to get it. The couple didn’t know what they had. This is a handmade 75–90 years old dollhouse made between 1935 and 1950, created between FDR and Eisenhower‘s presidencies. Happy tears.
This is a gorgeous dollhouse. It has a beautiful orangey, brown roof and shutters, plaster, white walls, green base and old cellophane windows that are yellowing. It’s sitting outside on my outdoor table on my deck in the. This is the back view. You could see two rooms upstairs two rooms down, each room has a small lightbulb in the ceiling. The size of a nightlight lightbulb, the walls downstairs are white and cream, the walls upstairs are baby robin egg blue. Here’s what I would assume was the nursery it has some of the original decals they composed on it left over in both of the rooms just beautiful. A large portion of the walls are made of this old cardboard, which was like an early MDF particleboard before 1950. Here’s the downstairs room that has the beautiful little front door with intricate hinges and very nice lintel and cream and slightly green walls

The grass was truly sparkling this morning ✨
A picture taken through my bedroom window with the screen so it’s a bit hazy, but you can see the early morning light streaming across the lawn, illuminating each frosty blade of grass Zoomed in cropped photo of the same scene, but now you can see the little tiny rainbow sparkles flickering off of each grass blade

Incredibly creepy delivery confirmation photo brought to you by the fact that the delivery driver had a flashlight and our big motion sensor light is out lol 💀
This is a screenshot of an email where it shows the photo that the delivery driver took of where they put your package. But the photo is largely black. There’s only a tiny circle of illuminated area, and it’s of the garage door, old buckets, and wood and crap everywhere and it looks like they’ve just thrown my package on the ground lol

Here’s what I mean about the birds! This is the catbird that dances on the unit and tries to get in the window every morning, but there are also little sparrows, wrens, as well as cardinals & the like that sit in the rhododendron & have been interested in seed that I’ve sprinkled out there before.

They are by derma labs, it’s the oil free night cream with squalling, vitamin C, and vitamin vitamin E, the exfoliating facial scrub with vitamin vitamin C and niacinamide, and their new refreshing eye roller thing. These are all fantastic products! And they’re only $1.25 each, and they were developed with dermatologists. Cannot recommend enough!

I harvested the rest of my mustard greens and turn them into portions of the southern-style stewed side dish I’ve been cooking since I was a teenager. With brown sugar & apple cider vinegar, yum. Three hours in the kitchen later, very pleased with the result! 6 cups of food for the freezer. 🥬 🌱 🥄
Picture of me out in the garden harvesting mustard, green plants. Think of a very deep, bright, green and tall, loose cabbage. Three containers of 2 cups each, one round glass, two square silicone sitting on cooling racks on my kitchen island cooling down the mustard greens, you can see the little flex of ham, onion and garlic, as well as the soft stew down greens in the broth that’s made of chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar Red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper

Oh no! I’ve definitely been in the grips of a irrational terror before a thing, what’s worrying you? Ignore if jot helpful but: something that works for me is “fear setting” and also just somatic stuff (shaking, bouncing, rocking it out.)

Good morning! I’m glad I slept well last night. Not much on the menu today except I might go for a little walk in the park, make soup, and read. The chickens popped out of their coop all hungry this morning, ate some scratch, then the freezing wind picked up, and they promptly filed back inside. 😆
A picture of almost the entire flock of 13 chickens, 12, hence one rooster. Most of them are Americana mixes, in white gray tan, brown, and black colors. You could see the chicken yard with their scratch on the ground that they’re eating, and the green grass, the new blue heater water bowl, etc..

The beets have slipped out of their jackets, been sliced, and are currently flash freezing. I’m also dyeing a bit of cotton lace trim, because that color is just too pretty to waste! 🫜 ✨
My cutting board where I’m in the process of taking the skins off of the soft, roasted beets and slicing them up, everything is pink! Here’s the beats all done beautifully rub burgundy colored, sliced, and put on parchment paper on a cookie sheet ready to flash freeze Here’s a little glass bowl that has the beet juice +2 tablespoons of white vinegar to act as a mordant plus a little bit of cotton lace trim

I keep thinking I’m out of the woods with this cold, but I guess I’m not. So did I take my pain meds and then head out into the garden cause I can’t stand to sit in my chair anymore? Why, yes, yes I did. 🥲Harvested the rest of the beets. They’re roasting covered at 400°F with a little bit of water.
My gloved hand holding a beautiful beet! A little bit smaller than a baseball with its roots and some dirt still attached and a few fresh green beet leaves growing up the top There’s another beet, this time with the gorgeous burgundy long leave still attached The finished hall! I’m bad at estimating volume and weight , but we got over a dozen beets here in various sizes, definitely a couple pounds at least Here I prepped them by cutting off the tops and ends inside after giving them a rinse, and they are sitting all tidy in rows in a glass casserole dish that will get covered in tinfoil

Mornin’…I was woken up at 2 am by critters dancing in the ceiling above my bed. 🫩 Was able to get back to sleep, but I am achy, groggy, and low-spoons already. A neighbor had this for free, so I drove over the line to get it. They don’t make them sturdy like this anymore. Been looking for months! 🙌
This is a folding grocery cart, rectangular in shape, two big wheels to small wheels and it’ll lay flat when you need to, very sturdy construction and handle. They just don’t make them look like this anymore, and I’ve been looking for one, especially with my wrist, and I couldn’t afford it. So the universe brought me a free one!
