Suburban Chicagoan by birth, Seattleite by choice, for now. Classically trained musician, fell into accounting. I like dogs. 🏳️‍🌈

If you have an Only Fans account or you're just trying to collect followers, move along. I block early and often.
Baileys chocolate chip cookies. I should have dusted them with sea salt. Next time.

We light an electric menorah every Hanukkah in solidarity with our Jewish friends. This year it’s in the dining room bay window that you can see from the street, since we have a seven-month-old puppy.

Hanukkah Sameach to those who celebrate.

Snoqualmie Falls, about 35 miles east of Seattle. A normal day on the left, and now with the torrential rainfall we’ve been having.

I went to see how the lighted outdoor trees looked in the dark, and Amélie wanted to know what I was doing.

I’m taking this to heart this year.

Amélie was spayed twelve days ago. Tonight, the Cone of Shame came off. I’m so glad to be able to see her entire beautiful head again.

Transitioning into Christmas decor.

Amélie is not happy that instead of a SPA day, she had a spay day yesterday. Everything went well and she is nowhere near as miserable as she looks here, but it’s going to be a long week or so.

Semi-sunny fall Sunday. Amélie is six months old now. She went with my husband to the neighborhood drop box three blocks away and voted for her first time.

The annual Breaking In of The Boots before the annual Birthday Wearing of The Boots.

I’m wearing shorts, I promise.

Trying to turn away from the news fire hose this afternoon for my health. Pear ginger galette in the back (the puff pastry really lived up to its name) and chive cornbread in front. Now on to corned beef and roasted Brussels sprouts.
