I made the family traditional Christmas Eve dinner for today instead. Herring-beet salad and Russian Chicken Salad. It’s from the German side of the family, which has some Polish roots. And it’s all SO GOOD. I love tradition.
Our general store made tarts and they made the mincemeat from scratch!
Weirdly warm, misty afternoon for a long walk
I basically got nothing done today but I did buy these nifty winter boots. That metal plate is a mini-crampon that can be flipped out when I need more traction here in the land of ice and snow.
She’s checking to see if possibly this spot will be warm enough for her
@help Bookshelves still broken in web, so I went to Epilogue on iPhone. Wanted to make a post and Epilogue would not let me make a new post
Me and my buddy climbed the local mountain on that warm day last week.
Art from my mother’s home, reflecting her dining/living room. This was my home away from home, until she died in 2019.

I am so loving Monterey on my iMac. I made my cursor turquoise and pink and big, and my accent color purple, and these things make me happy every minute of the day. Unfortunately, it’s hard to screenshot the cursor but here’s how I did it.
Nice, wet, fertile, rotting, humus underneath this Stinkhorn mushroom

Today I was able to sing outdoors with 4 friends. We all love to sing Shape Note songs and we felt connection with our 5 voices singing 4-part harmony and these old, strange songs. 📷

This mural has meaning to me, my high school mascot. I went to my 40th reunion a few years ago.
I’m totally cheating by posting old photos. When in doubt, use a cat picture! Here’s Tamsin kitty from 2018, not resting yet but on the bed.

For ethereal, I am choosing this photo of a poem hanging from a tree. It’s from an ephemeral art installation we made to honor our god-mother.
