Runaway pumpkin.
A runaway pie pumpkin covered in snow is sitting on a snow covered pathway, cutting through a snow-covered yard. Snow is indented where the brick pathway is, taking the shape of the bricks.

Voila! Snow picture from the edge of the property. I wonder if the farmer will let me put in a skating rink/tarp?
A farmers field covered in a fresh layer of white snow, in the distance the field is bordered with a mix of trees (indistinguishable from this distance). In the foreground the top of a fence post and some brush. A darkened tree without leaves is on the right edge of the frame. The sky is white with clouds

This wascally wabbit keeps setting off my cameras 😓

I always joke about making a stew + new mittens. Country fed rabbits are yummy (lots of 🌽🎃🥔 in the farm fields) but am too lazy, so don’t worry!

I def. won’t be chasing rabbits in the snow while having an ear infection (day 40 of antibiotics)
A grey scale infrared camera image of a wild rabbit with glowing eyes (because of the ir) and ears sticking straight up. Looks smaller than the ones I normally see, so maybe a juvenile?

Please note: this is not a 1:1 substitute for hot sauce in gravy. After watching kiddo eat hot dogs in the summer with a full line down the middle…. I thought it would help give my gravy some kick….. WTaF!!! It kicked my ass, which I’ll be praying to some deities over I’m sure

I made broccoli cheddar soup with some shredded carrots!!! So fricking goooood.

More Details in alt-text (as well as the link to the recipe it’s inspired by)
A vibrant red bowl containing creamy broccoli cheddar soup with shredded carrots and minced caramelized onions also floating. A metal soup spoon sticks out the soup on the right side. A thumb is on top of the rim of bowl as it is being carried across an old wooden floor. The thumbnail is painted “Hot Cowgirl” pink. It is frickin delicious so I wanted to post it. The recipe is based on: https://icookfortwo.com/broccoli-cheddar-soup-for-two/ But I didn’t follow the portions as I measure with my heart and like to have leftovers. Plus I omitted the pepper and use gluten-free flour the roux. I had two bowls and am absolutely stuffed. I used almost a litre of broth, half a block of cheese, a small head of broccoli, a large carrot (as an example of how off recipe I went) I used recipes mostly for inspiration.

*sigh* just yanked my first tick out of my arm. Kept scratching my arm and finally pulled up my sleeve and it would not let go. (EDS stretchiness)

It is now in a baggie and I have stripped down and thrown my clothes in the washer by themselves

I’m super rural. Like an acre + between me and neighbours on either side.

Just cranky old ppl who complain about everything

I don’t trust anyone who hates my 169 lb St Bernewfie doggo (details in alt)
A large black and white St Bernewfie with droopy lips and eyes wearing a floral bandana around her neck (white red and pink flowers on a green striped background) and a black harness that fits across her chest. She is sitting pretty on a 200 year old wooden floor with her mouth open and her tongue visible. The black fur on her face looks like a mask. She is the bestest of best girl friends and hates men (family excepted). She is a rescue from Northern Ontario who was abused, starving, and scarred. Never let out of a crate except to pee and has scarring on her snout from the muzzle she was forced to wear that had grown into her. She was a skeleton and is now robust and thriving and happy

Everyone gets to decide how far they are willing to go. I’m poor, I’m not going to throw out food donated to the foodbank by companies with US ties because then I would just die

Chickapea info/statements below:
IS CHICKAPEA A CANADIAN COMPANY? At Chickapea, we're proud to be Canadian-owned and operated, deeply committed to strengthening our local economy and communities. v Founded and headquartered in Collingwood, Ontario - Our story started here, and we continue to operate from our hometown. V Canadian-owned and led - Chickapea was founded in 2015 by Shelby Taylor, who still leads the company from Collingwood today. v Canadian jobs - All of our employees are based in Canada. v Sourcing close to home - We use raw ingredients from farms in Canada and the U.S. to ensure quality and sustainability.

We're passionate about bringing delicious, high-quality chickpea pasta to tables across North America!

This allows us to meet the growing demand from customers in both countries while maintaining the highest quality standards. Producing in this specific facility ensures we can deliver the classic pasta taste and texture our customers love, using only wholesome, real ingredients. Importantly, this partnership also helps us keep our prices affordable for Canadian consumers. We're committed to exploring all options for future Canadian production of our Canadian-specific products and are constantly evaluating opportunities to bring manufacturing home when feasible. We understand that many Canadians are making a conscious effort to support homegrown businesses, and we couldn't agree more. At Chickapea, we are proudly Canadian-owned and deeply committed to supporting our local economy and communities.

The alignment of interests and messaging between IDU parties can be seen most easily, from Canada, by looking at the UK government and Republicans in the US. The UK and Canada, for example, both have governments seeking to end the public healthcare system by introducing private. for-profit medicine. Similarities between the tactics and messaging being used by governments here and there are uncanny, and both countries used the cover of COVID to hasten their privatization efforts. Here, as in the UK, wealthy politicians and their family businesses would be huge beneficiaries of healthcare privatization, and healthcare unions have been weakened by compromising union leadership. Via IDU, members can pull on expertise and partners from other members' networks to advise on achieving the same goals. Koch-aligned Republicans have been successful undermining public education in the US, particularly in Republican states. States like Alabama, for example, have achieved a collapse of public education by using education funds for other purposes, and creating working environments to ensure public schools cannot be staffed. With similar ambitions, Conservative premiers like Doug Ford have tapped into winning strategies and and strategists from Alabama and Arkansas.

With Mr. Harper taking the reins in 2018, IDU members benefited from his infamous long view. Harper had credibility among member states, given what he had achieved in Canada. In a so-called liberal democracy, while he was Prime Minister, national interests had been sold to foreign entities under secret terms, corporate monopolies can freely lobby and donate to essentially write legislation in their own interests, the census had been cancelled, and relaxation of media ownership rules created a media ecosystem was controlled by telco monopolies, oligarchs and ideologically-aligned foreign interests. That these achievements help elect right wing parties by suppressing the vote was not lost on members. They wanted more of what Mr.Harper had achieved. + Tweet Stephen Harper Thank you Premier @fordnation for your speech at our #IDUForum2019 opening dinner; your inspirational message about common sense conservative leadership was much appreciated by our delegates from around the world

Though IDU features "democracy" in the name, a look at the members, especially those recently in government, indicates parties more engaged in achieving and protecting authoritarianism and corporatism than democracy. Member parties include the Republican Party in the US, Hungary's Fidesz party (Viktor Orban), Likud in Israel (Benjamin Netanyahu), the Tories in the UK, and of course the Conservative Party of Canada. (Brazil Union, the current IDU member party from Brazil, is the result of a merger between Bolsonaro's Social Liberal party and Democrats, after Bolsonaro's departure.) (Tweet) Stephen Harper & @stephenharper Congratulations to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Hungary's Fidesz for winning a decisive fourth term! The IDU and I are lookine forward to working with you

Rubbed my eye and came away with half my contact lens.

Did I find the other half in my bed or on the floor? No. Did I find it in my eye? Not that I can see/feel.

Where did it go? I don’t know, I wish I did. I’ll be wondering all day if it’s just floating around behind my eye.
Two quarters of a clear contact lens barely held together at the outer edge is on the palm of a hand that looks very dry. Where is the other half? That is a good question! I wish I had the answer

Said sad hair
6-8 inches of cut, wet, blonde hair on a white countertop because ADHD exists and when they say “do you do things impulsively or take risks” they should have more examples than jumping out of a tree.

After losing two chicks to the cold while mama chases chick #1, I saw 2 more were hatching in a cold nest

So today the role of mama hen goes to…. ME!

Kept them warm in my hand, in-front of a heater on low, to hatch them out & get them a little fluffed up while waiting for the incubator to warm
A wet yellow chick with a black stripe down it’s back and a black chick with a tuft of white on its head both have their bums still in the shell. They are being held in a hand in-front of a heater

There is another video angle from someone in a higher vantage point showing they tried dragging to her feet by her throat and by trying to basically pull her head off. It’s disgusting.
