Baby Ruth and the Sweet Treats sisters are really coming along. Every day they become a little more brave and a little more comfortable and are even starting to be affectionate, seeking out pets. Baby Ruth will let you pick her up & enjoyed some time sitting on my lap which was the best Xmas gift.

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere. The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back. A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year. Fiat lux! 📷 by @annieworsley.bsky.social

This morning I saw a post from an author talking about their book I am already aware of their book and when I see them post about it I'm usually like "I should pick that up." But THIS time their post caught me at the right moment and I bought the book. PLEASE YELL ABOUT YOUR BOOKS. Thank you.

Legend has it, Brunel’s Box Tunnel in Wiltshire, was built to align with the sun so it shines all the way through each 9th April, on Brunel's birthday. It is said to be haunted. Some say the spooky sounds of a phantom train echo along the tracks. 🚊👻 #ghosts #paranormal #railways #tunnels

I leant upon a coppice gate When Frost was spectre-gray, And Winter’s dregs made desolate The weakening eye of day. The tangled bine-stems scored the sky Like strings of broken lyres, And all mankind that haunted nigh Had sought their household fires.
