Trying to get outside and enjoy the Texas outdoors when possible.

Dark Pence is back.

Jack waiting for his breakfast on a cold (22°F) morning in Texas. Flowers from my garden.

Treated some chickens for poultry mites today. Protected ourselves against zoonotic diseases. It’s fun to use my training and experience again. #chickensofbluesky.

Yeah.

The shrubby boneset, aka white mistflower, has not cared about temps in upper 20s. Let see how she does with 23°F and possible snow (snow!) next week. Plant natives!

Wolf moon. Look for Mars near it tonight. Howl if you want to.

The squirrel has figured out how to defeat the squirrel-proof feeder. Tilt it it until a seed falls out, then grab that seed. Repeat until replete.

Morning kisses before our walk. They are sweet friends.

You may be in Texas if the lantana has burst into blooms in mid-December. I cut these back with the hedge trimmer twice this summer and apparently they love it.

A work in progress trying to get both dogs to sit in front of the neighbors’ display.

We start every morning with a walk in the woods with our dogs. Good for the spirit and the legs.

Texas gets some fall color

We had a beautiful sunrise this morning. Recommend full screen.

Swiftly resolved coup in S. Korea. Read Heather Cox Richardson’s letter today for the deets. The military was held off by citizens with fire extinguishers and camera flashes. 🤯

I decided to put my foot in the water over here. Left Twitter when Elonia took over. “The secret to happiness is low expectations.” Do we use hashtags here? Get used to seeing my boyfriend, Jack.
