Jane the Porch Goose’s very first outfit has been completed! I finished crocheting 🧶 it yesterday and now she’s out on the porch for the first time. 21 school buses pass by the house twice a day, so I hope she brings joy to all those kids.

Every night I put out peanut nuggets and one 1/4 pound suet ball. In the morning, all is gone. I really want a trail cam. Any advice or recommendations? 🪶🦊

Just before bed last night, I looked outside, then spent the next 15 minutes watching a skunk forage through the fallen leaves in the yard. 🦨

Porch goose has arrived! Now to name her and come up with her holiday outfit.
My husband knew I wanted one and had planned on getting it for me for Christmas, but he thought I could use it now because I've been having a bad time medically. I love that man! ❤️

Crocheted a scarf in the iconic Tennessee Orange checkerboard design. I made some mistakes but I’m happy how it turned out. No pattern. #crochet 🧶
