Blue dots enjoying life anyway. Friends, family, hammock reading, kitchen stuff, outdoors whenever possible.
Arsenic In Old Lace
In the 19th century, the height of fashion wasn't just stunning-it was laced with enough arsenic to kill an entire ballroom.
This mesmerizing hue, known as Scheele’s Green (and later Paris Green), was the definitive color of the Victorian era. #globalmuseum @archaeologyart

OK. So, *that's* bread.
Some families pass down recipes.
This family passed down a 600 year old oven.
This #bakery in Altamura, Puglia has been firing since 1391 and still turns out Pane di Altamura the way #medieval families did it: durum wheat, slow rise…
Bon appétite!

Sorta witchy.. love random lights.
Ti's the season. For #BlueskyMonday. I photograph this snag often. Last year, my wife and I hung Christmas lights on it during low tide and had a night shoot. It was a lot of fun being out there with her. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #longexposure #astrophotography

Thank you Sally, so glad you enjoyed it x
Just finished The Eights by Joanna Miller. Four women enrol at St Hilda's College, Oxford, in 1920, & navigate their way through their first year. Women weren't able to receive degrees before this. Great chrs, well researched.

Gawd can you imagine the sound?
We missed you this week at Sunday School
Don't forget to come next week and every week
You can run, but you can't hide!

The tree hollow on my usual walking trail is now inhabited. We were still in the parking lot when we saw people stop by to enjoy it. Made us smile all day.🎁😊 (Gold garland for a seat, rubber toy, gnome with stabilizing sand bottom and elf)

Come to Bluesky for the facts. Love this place.
Fun fact: Amsterdam has a student-run art house cinema called Kriterion, that also owns a gas station.
