Only one more sleep.....
A TV playing "Muppet Christmas Carol" shows a scene with Kermit the Frog dressed in Victorian garb standing on a snowy street at night, looking up at a starry sky with a full moon.

Still job-hunting, which means jerseys are really not in the budget currently. So I was extra-excited that Sadie & crew dropped these last night! Repping the ever-awesome Ceej!

Still alive, even if not posting much. Managed a bit of a walk today before knees did Bad Things, in a bit of sun; thought I'd share the dramatic clouds

Clouds in various shades of grey and white span dramatically across the sky, with patches of blue between. Dark silhouettes of barren and evergreen trees stretch up from the ground, enhancing the drama.

Some of this week's dinners, along with tonight's visitor (dining at the same time, if not together 😆)

#TinyJoy #happymaking #xapCooks #myneighbors #fromthegarden
A white plate with blue trim holds a bit of mixed salad, a piece of rustic bread, and a pile of orecchiette pasta covered in a reddish cherry tomato and basil sauce. Several white dishes sit on a dark-brown table. The leftmost plate has half a round loaf of crusty bread, with a bread knife on the side. On the upper right is a bowl full of golden spaghetti squash "noodles", and below that a rectangular bowl holds a chicken, mushroom, and spinach dish in a rich tan sauce. A round white plate with blue trim sits on a dark brown table. It holds a pile of spaghetti squash strands topped with chicken, spinach, and mushrooms in a rich dark tan sauce. Part of a slice of bread is on the edge of the plate. A large white bowl with blue trim full of bright green broccoli sits on a dark table. Below it is a white casserole dish with golden-brown pinwheels inside.

A light gray deck is attached to a tannish-gray house on the left. Past the edge of the deck is a lovely wall of green trees and berry brambles and many happy growing things. In the center of the deck is a tall mic stand next to a silver laptop on a stand, with a music stand to the right of that and a black ovation guitar on its own stand further to the right and slightly back. Behind the laptop is a stool with a water bottle, all that's missing is the performer.

A white woman in glasses and a black shirt with lace sleeves is looking down while playing a silver ovation guitar. There is a mic on a stand in front of her, and stage lighting creating multi-hued effects on the wall behind her.

yep, fell away from posting again.....but back for #smallbeautieshour since I know *I* need some #TinyJoy and #threadofgold moments and I doubt I'm the only one. So, trying. #becauseofclem
Black silhouettes of trees reach up on either side of the image, bracketing a muted sunset sky that ranges from medium dusky blue at the top to light purples and pale cool tones in the middle to light and then darker pinkish-oranges at the treeline.

A few bits of #TinyJoy from the last few days, at the tail end of #smallbeautieshour - know I've missed a bunch, but still plugging away, and appreciating everyone who contributes to the #threadofgold #becauseofclem

#naturelove
A whiskey barrel planter filled with snapdragon plants. There are several blossoms some in bright yellow, some and bright pinkish-purple. A a large patch of short brown dried grass, with a female California quail on the right, and three or four small baby quail scattered on the left A medium-sized black tail deer doe looks at the camera amidst a foresty area of wild Greenery. A swath of Ripley clouds ranges up the right side of the image. They are lit up in pinks and purples from the sunset, contrasting with the Shaded blue of the left side of the sky. A small building is silhouetted in Black at the bottom of the image

One yellow glob is lit up by the Sun, giving the appearance of a glow A small cluster of whitish ghost plants grow out of brown soil underneath the green leaves of neighboring plants.

A bronze mermaid statue reclines on a large boulder on an outside sidewalk. She is wearing a flower crown and a lei, both of rainbow colored silk flowers. A red brick building is behind her. Several large planters full of mostly-green plants are gathered in the corner of a deck. A grassy meadow is below, and the pot on the right has pink geranium flowers. A round container on a grey deck shows off some strawberry plants, and one tall borage plant. The borage has blue/lilac flowers at the top.

Happy solstice!

(yes, sunRise is more traditional; rest was needed)

#TinyJoy #happymaking #RightOutsideTheDoor #tastytreats #gardening
A white dish holding 5 very red strawberries A mostly blues-and-purple toned sunset sky with many clouds reflecting the light can be seen between and over trees. A railing in the foreground gives the impression the photo was probably taken from a deck. A bright flame dances on the end of a wooden wick atop a round cream candle in an amber jar.

An empty green strawberry hull with one inch of stem attached sits in sunlight on a grey railing. An evening sky at the edge between sutset and dusk, with shaded clouds giving texture. A small building sits in shadow at the bottom of the image.

A few June catch-up pics.....

#TinyJoy #naturelove #happymaking #RightOutsideTheDoor #myneighbors
A curled-up white-spotted deer fawn can barely be seen among bright green very tall field grass. Three small white flowers with golden-yellow centers grow amid the green rass and brown ground. A black-tailed deer doe appears to be bathing her small white spotted fawn in the tall grasses of a meadow in front of a dark tree line. The lighting of the image gives the impression that it was taken through a window also reflecting some sunlight. Pinkish-orangeish-purple sunset clouds below a shaded blue sky are visible between the dark silhouettes of trees
