My ocean to table contribution yesterday: smoked salmon spread. I caught the salmon, I smoked the salmon, and I made the spread. (Also garnish from my yard of camellia, holly, and nandina).

A cake decorator has been busy in the forest recently.

Any ideas about these self-promotional ads she's been putting out lately?

Tillie, my Aussie rescue after a good day of hiking. Still a little snow and ice which she loves!

This is as close as Buddy would get to letting me put a birthday hat on him. Maybe he wasn't sure of a hat made from a paper plate. Today he is one year old. Next year will be the best. We both won the lottery Buddy. Thank you Oconee Shelter!

I know it's a dark photo, but I think you can see that my pound puppy and my Aussie rescue are going to be good friends. 😊

Ready for hiking with the dogs this week!

Omg. How many times have I listened to the vinyl, smoked a doobie, made love...yes. Peter Frampton.

Remember on Sesame Street when they showed pictures with a little jingle "One of these doesn't belong" ?

My new-ish dog, using my Tillie as a pillow. I think they're going to be good friends.
