The difference between declaring and being honest and up front is in what you do.
People make up stuff all the time about who people are. Just remember it’s their choice to think that way. If they’re wrong, they’ll either figure it out or not.

The brown-eared #Jackrabbit is back in the wallow. More of their fur has changed to white.

Call me weird, but having a bunch of recognizably white hair in my very dark hair is actually very appealing to me.
Why? I like the age streaks, and my dark hair is thin and not suited to bleaching so dying my hair just doesn’t work out.

BTW they were both micro-chipped and licensed with the city and never went outside without an escort, so no collars required. The black and white was agoraphobic anyway. She was afraid of the sky, always had to have something over her head.

I made enough of these spiky balls to probably be characterized as this one.
(Yeah they are Christmas ornaments, made from 30 folded squares of paper)

Just trying out making clip compilations. Still haven't gotten around to learning sound edits. The subject of this compilation is Tesla🌈

Tesla (2005-2024) and Murphy (2005-2017)
Murphy saved me from a suicide attempt - she would not leave me alone.
Tesla was an incredibly clever girl who converted my spouse into a cat lover, and figured out all sorts of different ways to communicate including getting huffy when we were not prompt.

The local Jackrabbits seem to really like loafing in our yard. The one from yesterday seems to have gotten his little wallow usurped by a more grey and white rabbit which is a little better camouflaged.

The resident jackrabbit has switched over to their winter coat. There is only a small bit of brown/orange hair on the top of the head.

Yeah… I just went out to a little bit, and yet I still get a Raynaud’s reaction. It’s not even below 0c here!
And this is the second time today.
Typically it’s in the ring fingers first, this time it’s the thumb.

I have video of this little prank I made for a friend and coworker who had gone on a much needed vacation. I'll post it later.
The light frames actually had a lighting control and cycled through the colour spectrum. Our boss thought it was hilarious.

I have a preliminary recipe for the #GlutenFree ginger #cookies. I think the next batch I’m going to use 4 egg whites instead of 5.
Use the alt text description for the #recipe details
Have to check if the spices cancan get cross contaminated with gluten during processing. Maybe not?

I dug up a very nice sequence of couch snuggling I forgot I had. #Cats
Was looking to do something else, but I have to do some sort of facial blur stuff and I have nearly zero video editing training. I never learned how to in high school or college

Well, put too much batter down per cookie for the first batch. Ended up with one big cookie.
Did better portion control on the second batch.
They are nice and chewy. A little bit sweeter than I expected but very tasty.

I’m experimenting with making a gluten-free ginger cookie today out of blended pecans. Might have a bit too many liquids in it because I wasn’t sure about the substitution ratio of icing sugar to molasses plus liquid reduction.
Hopefully it turns out!

Second attempt at making coffee without a coffee machine turned out way better. I used a metal filter to hold the grounds and slowly poured boiling water through it.
Added a bit of ice to the brew to cool it down.

Here is another #ThrowbackThursday post. Its just a #rooster at large wandering in someone's back yard.
It took 3 police officers, 2 animal control officers and myself to catch it.
They may not fly, but they can jump!
