One of the pairs of socks I knit for Xmas – I think it’s a Lang colorway. Excuse the white balance issue – always an issue here in the winter.
Harry and Polly looking deeply suspicious of my intentions.
Polly likes to jump on my back/shoulder when I’m trying to take art journal pictures.
We got a new nip toy for Xmas and Mayhem immediately took it for a trial run.
Yay, more socks!
That house in North Salt Lake is very weird. Couldn’t pay me to live in North Salt Lake anyway, that’s where the big oil refinery and other manufacturing plants are. Blech. Nice views, from there, though.
Oooh, I love the socks!
The aliens vs. Earth fauna post is so fun! As is the field work fail post! And I laughed at the dust bunny, too. 😉
I saw that cookies & cream Bundt cake, and I’m going to be trying it out at my next cake-making opportunity. It looks so good!
I have gotten every COVID vaccine I can, and I have so far managed to avoid catching it, despite being exposed when a family member was sick. Needless to say, I am going to CONTINUE getting every vaccine I can.
Huh. Looking at that New Orleans mansion—the outside, at least—I can really see where the design for Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion came from.
Yeah… I think any of those three Stairs That Will Kill You would be the death of me.
Omg those stairs
And haha, let the aliens go to Australia
