This was so fun to do again!!
Number 1 I painted May 11, 2024, number 2 I painted today. Number 1 took 4.5 hours, number 2 took 2 hours. I noticed is that I’m better just living with my happy little accidents. That’s a big shift 🙂. I miss Cinnamon, but I’m grateful to still be learning from her. 🥰

I want to share something. I’m trying to do this watercolor ON MY OWN. No tutorials. Just winging it with everything I’ve learned so far. It’s about 1/2 done. I’m kinda proud of what I’ve done so far. AND I’m terrified. It’swatercolor. A medium that, by default, has less control than say acrylic.1/3

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

The Trump Tariffs are ILLEGAL.
He does NOT have the unilateral authority to amend trade agreements with Canada and Mexico.
He needs Congressional approval -- and he does NOT have it.
The tariffs should be challenged in court -- and overruled by Congress. NOW.

Dear 2025,
Day 23. Looks like your word of the year is actually retribution. He raised the price of drugs for seniors. Feels like dark skies all around. Hope those who voted for him eventually get their…eggs.
Downloaded my FB data. Twenty years of memories on 2/2/25. My future holds bluer skies.

Dear 2025,
Day 22. The level of toddlerhood in this post astounds me. But then, I suppose at this point, it shouldn’t.
I’m already done with 2025, and I have deep concerns about 2026, 2027 and 2028.
so yeah,

I’m so in shock. My favorite art teacher was #TheArtSherpa - Cinnamon Cooney died last night from a heart attack. I attended her retreat in person and learned from her tutorials. She wasn’t just an amazing artist, she brought joy and kindness to every tutorial, painting lesson and interaction.

Why can’t you remove a follower on @bsky.app ??? I can either mute or block. I don’t need to block (unless I do) but why can’t I just remove???

Medium rare. Perfection. Seared and then shit down the grill and let it cook until 125. Now there’s a pork shoulder smoking for BBC a few hours that I’ll finish in the oven to go with Thanksgiving turkey (which I’ll brine on Wednesday).

I’m not loving this. I overdid the birch tree lean. It looks weird to me. Fixing it would mean starting over-nope. I like the sky & the background. It was harder than expected. I’ve been super nauseous the last 3 days, so this painting took forever. I think it’s time now to start holiday cards :).

Well… I don’t think I let my bread cook long enough in the new oven’s steam cycle. And I should’ve waited 20 minutes before cutting… but WHO DOES THAT? New recipe produced a small loaf and it’s a bit gummy. However, the homemade apple butter is a 10/10! Tomorrow is another day and another loaf!
