I’m way too old to be so new to social media.
Enjoying the blue space 💙
Loving the nature photography, Caturday and all the bird pics.
And Fungi- I am a big fan of all the fungi pictures here!

Someone is all tucked in and ready for the cold and snow that is coming.

We haven’t had 18+ inches of snow in a few years. We are definitely due!

Stay safe everyone.

Oh the difference a day makes!

I hadn’t been seeing much activity, so a move to a slightly warmer spot and-
Voila!

We have yeast and a rise!!!!!

Today needed a win.

Thank you. 🦋 💜 🍄‍🟫

For the new year I decided to finally tackle making a gluten free sourdough starter.
I neglected to read the instructions in their entirety before beginning (that would be too easy) and had to run out for some gum-free gf flours.

Let the experiment begin 🥖 🍞 🥯

Chemistry is life!

I suggested a nice dose of catnip to go along with the light show for maximum enjoyment!

Not sure which of us is more excited to find out her ancestry! Smart as a whip and full of energy is our Bailee. Lab? Husky? I can’t wait to find out

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even….. A mouse!

Happy Holidays BlueSky 🦋

Pink Ghost Pipe plant at my hometown, Logy Bay, #Newfoundland Canada. Ghost Pipes are most commonly white, but some have pink or even red colouration. Pic from a couple of years ago, in August.

These are my solstice gnomes, which have replaced the Christmas tree in my household. I much prefer the gnomes
