The difference between declaring and being honest and up front is in what you do.
People make up stuff all the time about who people are. Just remember it’s their choice to think that way. If they’re wrong, they’ll either figure it out or not.

Yeah that is quite a difference.

I’m messing around with cheap yarn. Not sure if this will become a hat or if it will just be a potholder. Depends on how fast I consume the yarn.

I understand the meltdown. I started working on this crochet granny square afghan more than 12 years ago. I’ve been adding squares every once in a while, and just picked it up again after multple years of not working on it.
It has cat hairs from both my cats worked into the stitches.

Mmm, good stuff. Leftover tomato and onion from burritos the other night, a couple of mushrooms, some spinach, a bit of garlic chilli paste with the saved tops of garlic bulbs from topping garlic for roasting, and half a package of instant ramen with broth drained.
Yum! 😋

More video editing practice. Just a combo clip of #MonsterSnowCleaning at the place I used to live
Yeah, it's not that much, but it was very unusual for the area to have anything but plows. Actual snow removal is still unusual here.

More experiments with video editing. It's just a compilation of clips from my trip alone to visit #Niagra. I was in the area for work and had time to visit before returning home. I wanted to see the geologic wonder and check out the history.

Heh, i remembered some more snobbery from this city-turned-country cat named Shadow. He would not drink water from anywhere except a water glass, and had to be fresh every single day! Bowls? Nah! Not good enough for him!
This photo is from 2001, so an oldie!

Yeah, the calico I had would not eat pate, not for any reason, and she strongly preferred fish over anything else.
Contrast that with the tuxedo, who would eat any cat food plus steal any celery she detected within her range.

The brown-eared #Jackrabbit is back in the wallow. More of their fur has changed to white.

Call me weird, but having a bunch of recognizably white hair in my very dark hair is actually very appealing to me.
Why? I like the age streaks, and my dark hair is thin and not suited to bleaching so dying my hair just doesn’t work out.

BTW they were both micro-chipped and licensed with the city and never went outside without an escort, so no collars required. The black and white was agoraphobic anyway. She was afraid of the sky, always had to have something over her head.

I made enough of these spiky balls to probably be characterized as this one.
(Yeah they are Christmas ornaments, made from 30 folded squares of paper)

Just trying out making clip compilations. Still haven't gotten around to learning sound edits. The subject of this compilation is Tesla🌈

Tesla (2005-2024) and Murphy (2005-2017)
Murphy saved me from a suicide attempt - she would not leave me alone.
Tesla was an incredibly clever girl who converted my spouse into a cat lover, and figured out all sorts of different ways to communicate including getting huffy when we were not prompt.

The local Jackrabbits seem to really like loafing in our yard. The one from yesterday seems to have gotten his little wallow usurped by a more grey and white rabbit which is a little better camouflaged.

The resident jackrabbit has switched over to their winter coat. There is only a small bit of brown/orange hair on the top of the head.
