Most recent pic of the sky at 2151 tonight. Very little dusky color in the sky. That isn't light pollution. I'm in the middle of nowhere.
The dark night sky with a vague, pale dusty greyish mauve and pale light looking like a light overcast silhouetted behind trees.

Nothing much happening so far. Here's a pic from peak last night for comparison. After 2100 11/11/25.
Northern Lights through silhouettes of some trees. Lower part of the sky is green shading to fuschia filling the rest of the sky like high overcast.

The #AuroraBorealis is supposed to be visible again tonight. Will be taking pics throughout the night if the clouds don't move in. This was before 2000 in central NH, USA.
The dark night sky with stars.

I couldn't see any color with my own eyes an hour ago but I can see faint, very faint, color now. But my camera can capture it!

This was her when she was still "Postina" as you'd named her. We named her "Nixie" bc in the postal service a piece of mail that can't be delivered gets a "nixie slip." At the time spousal unit worked for the USPS. I do, now. 😊

Yes. Cowboy caught a Midnight Mousie. (See what I did there.😁)
I love him very much. But that chonky fucker has a live mouse in his mouth in this pic and he PUT IT DOWN to PLAY with it and it's somewhere around here, now.
But Cowboy's on the case. Because 16 y/o Nixie is sleeping. #youhaveonejob

I knew I'd need these stickers. I just didn't know what for until today. 4 weeks in the boot, then PT to break up the scar tissue around my plantar fascia. Yes. It's going to hurt but not as much as if we tried that right now.

It's not clear enough to read the entire thing but I know I've paused the movie and read it from the screen.

Miss Nixie Princess Beauty Queen is regretting the choices she made today.

I wonder if Irina regretted hers?

Don't go in the basement if the power is out. Without your cat.

My cats love me but the calico really really REALLY doesn't like the orange tabby.
They're in attendance for #FrightClub

That's a companion to keep you on your toes!
Mine is ok with 5 minutes of "work," and a sniffari as the day's major events. Thankfully. That's my girl and one of the cats she loves but is also afraid of.
An orange tabby cat and a mixed breed brindle dog look over their left shoulders toward the camera. They're in a kitchen in front of a silver color refrigerator.

If you used all Eight Limbs of Yoga, could you octopi Wall Street?
(Am aware plural of octopus is octopuses. Just being silly....)

I just finished Storytime with Hope. This is when we sit together and I ask her, "Hope, are you The Very Best Girl?"
She will toss her head "yes." Then I list all the reasons she's The Very Best Girl. And I finish by saying, "And *that's* why --Hope-- you're The Very Best Girl!" My ❤️ is full.
A brindle staffy mix has her head down next to a person's leg. Her face is mostly white with a formerly brindle, now greying top of her head and ears. She's looking to the left of the screen but she's side eyeing the camera.
