Merry Christmas!

For the Christmas nerds....

I'm still working on our 2025 Christmas pictures. Meanwhile, here is the one from our 2021 Christmas card.
The setting is edited, of course, but that's really Cate and me in dragon masks with Santa. We did that at the Norwescon convention that year.

Here's a bee in a flower, for no reason in particular

A bird built a nest in our faucet cover, and now there are three chicks. One chick has its mouth open in the picture. Unfortunately, this is right by the back door. I didn't even know the nest was there until the chicks started peeping. Hoping we haven't scared momma bird away.

Can a planet have a cameo in a movie or TV show?

Cate and I enjoyed the purty flowers at RoozenGaarde during the 2025 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

I never did post this picture of the socks that Cate got me for Christmas

The washing instructions on my new swim shorts say, "Line dry in the shade." I guess I can't hang out in the sun when I get out of the water.

Here is a flower at my Mom's house in Guam, for no reason other than to wish everyone a nice day.

"Hanom" is the Chamoru word for water. So basically the brand name of this bottled water is Water.

I took my coffee cup on a tour of Sky Nursery in Shoreline

Ai haz a sad...
