There were three Blue Jays squabbling over the peanuts. This one appears to have won for the moment.

Bee on a sunflower in my pollinator garden. It’s a busy place right now. Spearmint, catmint, bee balm, yarrow, milkweed, verbena. #pollinatorgarden

Wayne Quigg, an amazingly talented woodworker, made this fantastic sign as a gift, depicting the Ordinary from my Lanthorne Ordinary Witches series. Lantern is made of many fine strips of wood, expertly placed to form the curve. I can't thank him enough for this. #woodworker

Red-tailed Hawk nest. Not super clear but it was high up so I cropped and enlarged. Both were flying around the nest, this one had just landed.

Anyone else's Grandma or Mom use one of these in the old days? An appliance that produced ore-smelting heat, even on the outside. I still have a scar on the back of my hand.
