You're supposed to leave some of the dried plant stems for "winter interest."

I'm more interested in seeing the path that used to be here.

We saw Trevor Noah last night (first show after he hosted the Grammys?). He read the social media post from the object of one of his jokes at the Grammys and responded to it. The audience laughed until we cried.
I've included his tour dates below; if you have the chance to see him, do it!

The annual re-watch of "Deadwood" has begun. A wreath is up, and lights to follow. The Jólakötturinn will probably come for me because I have not finished my spinning, but that's another story...

Happy Holidays to you and all the best in 2026!

The wind blew the towel off the cat carrier (routine vet visit).
The noise from inside sounded distinctly like "Ma, what the eff--!"

I went to hang up my bathrobe. The other cat was nested in that, on the duvet. Quoth she, "the hell you will!"

The Royal Princesses are not best amused by winter.

I'm very glad to hear that they are going to do something to improve "The Zoo." And if they can make it eco-friendly, I'll be very pleased indeed.

Take care of yourselves this long weekend, all. Safe travels, meaningful reflection, and if you must shop, shop small, shop local, shop thoughtfully.

And if you pie, pie joyfully. (h/t @zzclaybourne.bsky.social !)

Hey kids! Need something to spice up your holidays? Maybe a gift for your favorite consumer of boutique hot sauce? Check out @pfreivald.bsky.social 's collection of hot sauces, hot honey, and more at www.frogspointhoney.com!

Goes great with garden gnomes!

Timeline cleanser: my first attempt at a #sprang bag. Sprang is a type of weftless finger weaving that appeared around 1500BCE or so. The work is not lovely, but it will hold this tiny version of the Giant Rat of Sumatra.*

Happy Friday, all.

When I'm not screaming into the void, I weave. I finally finished a languishing project to add panels to a tablecloth.

I thought I was done with classes this year, but soon I'll be learning about "sprang" weaving. Anyone ever tried it? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprang

Timeline refresher. I saw a painting by abstract- expressionist Joan Mitchell (1925-1992) *after* I picked out these colors and now I have a new inspiration to explore.

Breakfast with friends, reading INCENDIARY by the brilliant @geraldcoleman.bsky.social. Coffee, "Honoring The Sisko: Fixing DEEP SPACE NINE," "How to Argue with Conservatives," and "Good Marketing" gets your day off to a fine start.

I'll be taking some time off from social media, but in the mean time, may I recommend two very different works, from two amazing writers, @brackenmacleod.bsky.social and @zzclaybourne.bsky.social? Enjoy!
