I have it hanging with a piece by Heather Franzen (Halloween Reunion).

This is my gentle guy who died in May. Not my only black cat, not even my only heart cat, but unlike any other. We pulled him back from heart failure in 2022, but he got a cancer diagnosis this past spring and the stress of the vet appointments was too much for him. He was twelve.

I WOULD. Heck, I give this one shredded cheese and she regularly shouts in my ear.

I thought I could find a funny pic to post here but that was a terrible, terrible search. Do not recommend. Here, have a common domain image from the 1700s.

7:30 really is so, so early to set an alarm for on Saturday morning. The cats aren't even up yet.

I get it. This was Tristan at last year's checkup: 12.5 pounds of anxiety, and that's after 100mg of gabapentin. I've been thinking about this because it's time to make this year's appointments.

All the cats gone now, the couple divorced and one now living in another country, the house sold a few months ago. I wasn't as prepared for this as I thought I was.

There are two solutions to dandelions: Roundup and this. You can't even pay people to do this for you; I've asked. Also, if you don't like to be in the sun, you get to do it when you get home from work. 🌼

Without saying your age, what is your favourite movie from the year you turned 18? I don't know if it holds up and I'm not sure I want to. But it is Rob Reiner. If it doesn't hold up, my backup is Peewee's Great Adventure.

One more for the night crowd: Vivien finds purpose and an ally—and perhaps more—when she stows away aboard the ship of Captain James Hook. Yet hindering their future are both James's preoccupation with the past and the reckless, violent Peter Pan. Querying Fall 2026. #BluePit #📖 #Q #A #R #F #HS

#BluePit An Extraordinary Geography is the true story of Captain James Hook as told by the woman who stows away aboard his ship—because everything Peter Pan tells us is a lie. Vivien finds an ally and more in James, but betrayal threatens the future they are building. #📖 #Q #A #R #F #HS #writesky

A chaotic mood board, haha, because I've already spent too long on this. #BluePitHype #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Writers

Mood board with photos of a tall ship silhouetted against the sun, a piratical-looking couple standing against a seaside cliff by Howard Pyle, Trafalgar Square in 1908, Big Ben, a tropical island, the confluence of the Amazon River and the Rio Negro, a prosthetic hook by Marjorie Torrey, and a cluster of forget-me-nots, all against a background of a rather lurid sunset.

I guess those clear blue PNW summer skies are a thing of the past now. Not too many years ago you wouldn't have had to squint to see the Olympics.

Quick and dirty frame job after a trip to the Edmonds Art Festival, because Michael's has no good precut mats and I want to get this up right away. The frame suits it, anyhow. The 11x17 sang to me, but I know what size that mats and frames to, and the 5x7 will actually fit where I want to hang it.

One by my own grandmother, who painted landscapes, mostly desert scenes. I had them all shipped to me when I was closing out my parents' estate. Unfortunately, I have more paintings than wall space, so I have to swap them out from time. (There were two versions of this one, both framed!)

Well, bah. Best idea I have is these rubber dealies you slide onto the earpieces. There's also a doughnut-shaped version, and both styles are about $5 apiece. My more-flattering pair sit too low but these help a lot. (I think all glasses are unflattering on me, but that's another story.)
