Not sure what I did, but I definitely did SOMETHING
Tri-color corgi looking at the camera from around the corner of the couch. She is staring in a very confrontational manner, like I've just done something unacceptable.

@tuphlos.bsky.social I keep meaning to tell you I got that refrigerator white board! Working out well so far.
White board with the following dialogue: Hello, world! I desire mango juice And you think the mere act of writing your desires on this board will cause them to magically appear? Yup Hmm. What will you offer in return? Love Demonstrated in what fashion? Hugs Accepted

Sunset was pretty spectacular tonight
The view over the roof of a house, glowing yellow, orange, and red. Power lines crisscross the sky.

Convincing you to read my novel with the first sentence. Add yours if you'd like.
"Ossian had never seen a dead body before--not that he remembered, anyway."

Gandalf and Little Death set off on an adventure

My kid's friend came over the other night and I walked in on them working on D&D stuff like they were studying for a test 😆

a sleepy girl

Current state of my closet. Plumbers coming tomorrow. The leak is small enough that we're wrapping it with a rag whenever we need to turn on the water, like to shower in the AM. Got a fan blowing to try to dry everything else out but the plaster was just crumbling apart in my hands. Sigh.
The inside of a deep square closet, with the plaster wall ripped out to expose two copper pipes and some studs.

We clean up pretty good, actually!
A couple holding hands and looking at the camera in front of a rock wall and greenery. The guy has glasses and a striped shirt; the girl has a red dress and a leather jacket.

Please enjoy this owl I met yesterday. I imagine her expression to be "no thoughts, but slightly peeved anyway."
An Eurasian Eagle-owl sitting on a perch, looking slightly peeved. Behind her to the left is a stuffed raptor of some kind.

May I offer you a tortoise in these trying times?
A Russian tortoise looks at the camera. He is surrounded by dry grass and is using his two front feet to hold a green onion he is in the process of eating.

They grow up fast!

But wait! There's more! Dramatic reenactment of The Scarlet Letter. Conducted in the house my dad was building at the time.
Four girls dressed in silly costumes acting out the Scarlet Letter. I am center right, playing Hester Prynne because I was the only person in our class who actually LOVED this book.

We also got a tour of an animal shelter. Look at this woman's glorious hair. Alas, poor CFCs, we knew you well.

OMG this is me interviewing a librarian. I CAN date this one - I was in 4th grade, so this is likely 1991.
A screen cap from an old VHS tape - setting is in a library with a bunch of bookshelves. On the left is a white woman with grey hair cut to her shoulders; on the right I am about 9 years old, with long blonde hair, overalls, and a bright pink turtleneck.

Baby update! I think it won't be long until it's out of the nest. No way this kid would have lasted on the original 4" ledge, haha
