Snow, gear, and Fortuna
I missed last week’s blog because… well, I didn’t feel like writing it, I guess. And not much had really happened worth updating about. But let’s not be so lazy this week. First up, when I woke this morning there was a dusting of snow on the ground. Of...
Christmas lights, statuettes, and the Malahat
Well, last week I mentioned setting up the trees, this week I’ve actually decorated them. But I made that a separate post, so never mind. It’s one of those things where before I do it, I don’t feel like getting it done, but once it’s done, I’m glad I...
2021 Christmas Trees
Last week I mentioned setting up the trees, and now I have them all decorated so let’s see some pics. First up is the small lime green tinsel tree: I got this a number of years ago at Homesense on clearance for like $20, and it’s tended to be...
The deluge continues, deco to-do, and some degenerates in the ancient family tree
The rain continues. My backyard is pretty much a sponge at this point, and I opted to not get drenched for any pics of the garden, not that there’s much to see. I need to get out there and put up some Christmas lights, but it looks like Monday...
Christmas Lemax set-up 2021
I posted a little bit already, but let’s get it all in one post, eh? First, the kitchen sideboard: Next, the woodsy scene with all the cabins and lodges: The huge bears are toys I guess I had as a little kid, though I don’t remember them from that....
Trick or treaters, the changing of the deco guard, and some inches lost
Another Saturday, with more and more rain. The backyard was positively spongey when I was out there taking pics for the bottom of this post. At least yesterday morning it was beautiful and sunny for the hour I was out for my walk… then within a few minutes of...
Crying wolf, disposals, and dye
Skipped writing one of these last week because there wasn’t really much going on, and even this week was kinda low key. Well, there was my father going on one of his frequent bouts where he insists he’s dying and about to have a heart attack… but then instead...
Blog plans, my birthday, and some soaked flowers
There’s a break in the monsoon-esque rains of the day, so I popped out to take my garden pics for the end of this post. Things are looking weary out there right now, but they got pummelled last night. Kinda fitting for this time of the year, actually. And...
Lighter red, Barbie Ferrari, and the saga of the furnace non-filter
So… I bleached my hair, as I debated doing last week. Not that you can really tell, but it is a lighter shade of red despite 20 minutes with bleach sitting on there and then dyeing over with a medium blonde shade called “California.” Oh well. Baby steps. Or...
Flannels and quilts and it’s time to dye my hair again
Well, the rains have come off and on this week, and monsoon season seems to be upon us for the next few months. Still, there’s been some sun, and the garden seems to be enjoying the change. Inside the house, October means the start of flannel sheet season, which...
