I love the angles of light in the winter

PS. For the gardeners and sustainable living folks following who might be curious - those are indeed two 60 gallon rain barrels near the downspout, currently detached and winterized but much used in the warmer months.

Pictures of our first snow of the season here in NY, my garden is no longer colorful and green, it is now a white wintry wonderland.
Raised beds and fence covered in a heavy blanket of snow with even the smallest surfaces holding a dusting of white. Angular morning light comes through trees and woods casting long shadows on the garden and path into the woods Raised beds and picnic table covered in a heavy blanket of snow in the foreground and split rail fence and forest in the background. Every small surface holds a dusting of white. Angular morning light hits the tops of trees including tall evergreen trees and casts long shadow of the house on the garden and snow covered lawn

Last night after covering the dahlias I double checked and the forecast had changed from light frost to hard frost, so mad dash to harvest a bunch of stuff that would survive one but not the other. And sure enough this am we woke up to a layer of ice and frozen dahlias.

Autumn in the Hudson Valley… is pretty incredible. The sunlight is like a kaleidoscope through the trees. Everything is turning early bc of drought. Unfortunately we’ve only had less than an inch of rain in a few months…

Hoping my dahlias make it a few more days, frost warning for the next two days.

The flowers that bloomed when this genocide started are opening again, I remember crying my first tears for the children of Gaza… I don’t know how to describe this feeling. But for me these flowers will always bring back that sense of shock and sorrow the way a perfume makes you remember someone

Posting for Shaima who does not have social media, her son was featured in an Eye on Palestine post because his condition causes seizures & the famine and restrictions on medical supplies has been impacting his health. They have only raised a small amount for them so far. chuffed.org/project/1382...

Screenshot of a chat with Adham: I was robbed at the point where the aid trucks entered and I didn’t even get any flour that day. I returned carrying my friend and my injured hand. Screenshot of a chat with Adham, a photo of his forearm with stitches and “my hand still hurts and the round hasn’t healed well yet, but it’s a little better”

If an oncologist outside Gaza can take a look and please get in touch that would be so helpful! I think they are hoping for a medical evacuation and I’m hoping to help connect them with right people who care and can advise. Their hospitals are overwhelmed & doctors starving. Here is a second angle

Please share! I got permission to share more details - this is a scan from 5 year old boy named Omar in Gaza, I am in touch with his aunt who shared these scans. Translation is definitely not perfect but they don’t know if the lump/mass is benign or malicious, if it’s isolated or penetrating upwards

Still on X, and found one of my earliest tweets re Gaza back in July 2014 - 11 years ago! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Ga... 2014 Gaza War - Wikipedia
A quote tweet from Layla on X “it didn’t start on Oct 7 and everyone of the news reporters and politicians who have been pretending it did deserve to be on trial for genocidal incitement” and a quote tweet from *july 16 2014* where I shared a NY mag headline that read “an Israeli airstrike killed four Palestinian children right in front of dozens of reporters”

Normally I give the baths, today it was Josh. Can you tell by his facial expressions that this had Merlin confused?

Would love to share my harvests but doesn’t feel right given what’s happening. So here is the very happy hibiscus bordering my veggie garden

This was my friend Bassem cleaning and placing flowers over his brother Omar who was one of the “aid” martyrs. He was shot in the head while trying to get food for his family. chuffed.org/project/1187...
A young Palestinian man named Omar in burial shroud, his mourning brother Bassem cleans his face and places red flowers on his corpse. Omar was one of hundreds killed at US Israeli “humanitarian aid” sites in May 2025 alone. Gaza has been under total seige since March.

Please support the relatives of @mohamhawish.bsky.social who has been tirelessly covering and sharing his story as well as others from Gaza. He and his wife & kids made it out but they are fundraising to support the family that are still in Gaza & starving. Please support chuffed.org/project/1308...
Help our trapped family - photo of three young boys in still in Gaza. Chuffed campaign screencap reads “last year, i helped raise money to help writer and journalist Mohammed Mhawish, his wife Asmaa, their child, and much of their family escape the genocide in Gaza. Thanks to your incredible support, we were successful. Unfortunately. our work is not over …”

Scenes from the garden today, it’s blazing hot and humid. Our stack stone wall and veggie garden borders are in bloom. And it’s my first time growing zucchini in the veggie garden

I found these vintage lighters at an estate sale, and just polished them. They need new flint & fuel, but if they work I’m keeping them. Why don’t we make stuff like this that can be repaired/refilled?! The only things we make now are plastic lighters that get disposed of in the trash once done.
two vintage silver plated table lighters on a wood parquet table surface. One is a Ronson Queen Anne the other is Ronson Crown. These are repairable and refillable midcentury made USA made lighters

Today I took my husband to help me pick up these very heavy cast stone garden benches from FB marketplace. We loaded and un loaded these in the most humid weather but worth it bc they add so much character and function to these outdoor spaces.
