Making some bath scrubs for gifts for other folks. Baths good, scrubbing sometimes nice if mood striketh. Love you. #bathtime #epsomsaltscrubs
Little jars full of bath potions. Mostly epsom salts, ground petals, vitamin E oil, and sometimes a drop or two of essential oil. I colour code them with ribbons so I don’t forget which smells like what.

Another happy #caturday to the cats and the beleaguered servants grovelling for their favour.
Upon the lap of a lowly humanoid sasquatch you will observe here His lordship, a stray who now rules with iron claw. We call him Harry. A tabby cat naps on what is to him merely a disobedient chair, and what to me is my lap. The buttocks of the cat’s pet dog, a shy pitbull who knows cats are demons and loves them anyway.

Pine Grosbeaks lighting up my life like patio lanterns. #birds #pinegrosbeaks #yukonbirds #yukonterritory
A female Pine Grosbeak. Pretty and smart! A male Pine Grosbeak. Pretty and smart!

Yesterday this love spoke while I was at the gas station. Over the years I have seen Ravens teach their babies, comfort each other, mourn their dead, and try to survive what my species has done to their home. I never feed wildlife but do share with Raven when asked. I need to. #ravens #yukon #birds

Pine Grosbeaks give me joy. It is only light out for a few hours here at this time of year and seeing birds is happiness.

Sweet and fast little Nuthatch, zipping here and there. A tiny but interesting voice. Love you. #birds #yukonbirds #yukonterritory
This is a nuthatch on the trunk of a spruce tree, upside-down. It was so sprightly and fast.

Whever I hear someone say that they speak from a position of authority, I picture this exact position:
#dog #nap #comfy #pittie
Herbie, the lovely pitbull (pictured here asleep with his belly and limbs to the sky), is one of the beings I serve. His needs are not complex, being food, walkies, and snuggles, but his schedule is rigid and tardiness appalls him on the level of the soul.

Have you ever desperately wanted and needed to give a rabbit a manicure (with your vet’s encouragement), only for said rabbit to tell you to die in the most anguish-inducing method available to you? If yes, my empathies. Love you. #rabbit #nailtrim #housedemon #lop #shewilleatthedogifidon’tbehave
This is a lop bunny rabbit named Dandelion. She is soft and brown and pretty mad at me because I need to trim her claws and she needs to not allow me to do this, against her vet’s advice. This is Dandelion, a lop bunny rabbit, visibly summoning a demon to remove me from this realm forever.

The Minister of Environment and Climate Change looked me in the eye today and said that the projects Mark Carney announced yesterday must match communities desires, and that Canada has a duty to consult Nations before projects are a part of the One Canadian Economy Act. #COP30

To get to the sunflower seeds, the Pine Grosbeaks have to contend with a lot of snow. They are angelic and lovely and sometimes have intriguing arguments with each other. Wish I understood. Love you. #birds 🪶📷 #yukonbirds

The lights came out in the Yukon tonight. Cloudy yesterday but was lucky tonight. Love you. #northernlights #yukonterritory
Aurora borealis, the northern lights. A wild, dancing glow of greenish light across the sky. ❤️ Aurora borealis, the northern lights.

Pine Grosbeaks came to the feeder today. They are wonderful and fun. #yukonbirds #birds
A male Pine Grosbeak sits on a branch of a Birch tree. He is red and pretty and looks like he is thinking. There might be a sunflower seed in his mouth but it is hard to be sure.

Dandelion sometimes lets me have a cuddle. This is a lovely gift even though I occasionally suspect she hopes I get devoured by an enormous carnivorous plant. #rabbit #lop #housedemon #cuddle #iloveyou

We need nothing less than a profound humbling - a change of mindset and values, and a service relationship with Nature and each other if we are to survive.

I don’t say this lightly.

The other day in the trees (on the forest floor I mean) there were some delightful lichens and stumperies (no good pictures of the stumperies alas). Pretty amazing world in the understory. #boreal #lichen #yukonterritory 🌱
Lovely little green plants surviving a crust of ice. Seen in a boreal area of the southwest Yukon Territory on the traditional territory of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations Wiser minds can likely name these lichens. I can only love them. Photo is of pale green little lichens seen in boreal area of the southwest Yukon Territory on the traditional territory of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations. Spruce cone. Pretty and patient.

Fire cider making again yesterday. Sometimes I give it away. This makes me feel lucky and happy when people say yes. Hope you are safe and warm. ❤️ #firecider #herbalremedies #plants #witchsky
This is a jar of the dry ingredients of fire cider, which is an old folk medicine to help fight colds and flus, to reduce inflammation and support healthy circulation and digestion, and to strengthen the immune system. Here is the recipe: Dry things to put in a jar: Ginger, turmeric, red onion, garlic, radish, hot chilies, cayenne, rosehips, elderberries, rosemary, sage, thyme, juniper, orange peel, black pepper. Cover these things with raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar with the mother, and seal jar with parchment paper between the liquid and the lid to prevent corrosion. Leave in dark place for a month, roughly, swirling it daily. After a month, strain into clean container and add honey or a vegan alternative to honey. Lasts for many months in fridge, up to 6 months.

Canada has had record setting forest fires in the past 4 years and Carney’s solution is to pour billions into oil, nearly a billion into energy-wasting AI, and remove a climate cap. He’s murdering our children.

Leaves last month. They are all down now where I live. May good, warm rest find you and may solace fill your day, friend. #iloveyou #autumn #peace
Leaf Poplar leaf yellowed by time Fading sun through yellow leaves, a sign of fall. Pretty but a wee bit sad because I suck at winter activities and mope hard during winter. Red and yellow in this leaf. Fall is pretty. I should welcome it with love. And a sweater.

A little more snow today but these pictures from last month give me that “fall” feeling. Spring and fall are interesting in the Yukon. They feel fast, more like short interludes between nice summers and very long winters. Maybe they aren’t. Hard to say these days. #autumn #yukonterritory
