I repotted a plant, put a hook up, and promptly got distracted by a video game for 4 hours.

There are a couple of public pianos in our downtown and sometimes people come out of the woodwork and just blow you away

I am torn, I miss my village immensely and this city is full of delights like grocery delivery, deep library catalogs and functional public transportation.

So we had last Christmas back with our kiddos, and they have all the ornaments I made for Christmas 2022-3.

I have to go to IKEA & get a smaller tree for this year. This was last year's.

A small artificial Christmas tree, in the corner of a white-walled wooden-floored room, festooned with red baubles, assorted handmade ornaments, candy canes, & white lights. Red packages wait underneath.

For years our Christmas was multicolored lights & my grandmother's handmade sequined felt ornaments. My pinterest was full of this sort of look, so when I had to start again I went with it.

Marvellous Minoan clay vessels made by creative potters on the island of Crete during the Aegean Bronze Age around 3,500 years ago! 🤩

Halloween horrors! Lunch today: spagh-rat-ti.

Green plate heaped with spaghetti topped with tomato sauce. Three ‘rats’ (molded veggie meatballs) sit atop, their noses buried in a little mound of grated cheese.

In honor of our new country, I made a moose head. It was fiddly, I think I will only make this one.

A tin ornament in the silhouette of a moose head rests on a teak tabletop. A tan string loop goes from antler to antler. A small pair of grey scissors is in the upper right corner. The horns took a lot of time & care to cut out, I am not sure I will make more of this design.

One benefit to us waking up super early this morning was Saturday Croissants that were still warm from the bakery.

I have a full day of playing plant Tetris on the Large Windowsill, as Fall arrives.

Years ago I would spend a week planning for coziness in Fall & Winter. Finally I can do it again.

Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor.

In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.

Onlookers queue up to view the excavations of Caligula's ancient Roman vessels, known as the Nemi ships 1932.

The year withers. Dead paths across the ghost soil are revealed. Colder magics rise. Our boots are muddied, we begin to breath like dragons. Our witcheries turn with the season and our ancestors talk a little louder. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky
