Got some aurora color just now. We only had a 2% chance so I'm good with it! 💜💙⭐
Night sight image of a night sky that's dark pink from the aurora. Framing the sky are bare winter trees. Only edited to crop.

No one paints the frozen crystalline beauty of a sunny winter day in Maine like Neil Welliver. This one is my favorite but there are many to choose from.
Sunny winter landscape in Maine depicting a stand of white birch trees casting shadows in the snow. In the background is a snow covered ridge against a brilliant blue sky.

This artifact has been living in the fireplace of my 1756 house for probably 130 years. It's an old clothes iron but the handle is long gone. Apparently "sad" in this context comes from an old English word for strong /heavy. It would certainly make me sad to use this thing. It weighs a ton.
An eye-shaped iron sits on the floor of a colonial granite fireplace. The words "Larkin sad iron" are inscribed on the top.
