A lovely piece of granite with a large quartz inclusion and a bit of (I think) schist on the bottom. Collected from my ranch near Enchanted Rock in Texas.

An angular piece of pink granite that is mostly feldspar with a large section, about 1/4 of the rock, made of a quartz inclusion. The bottom edge of the rock has a piece of dark grey, finely grained grained, sparkly schist.

Carrie Fisher would def be friends with Antifa Pippi

Carrie Fisher dressed in pale blue and gold robes and a crown. There are lilies around her and a sun behind her head like a religious icon. She is holding a black pug with its tongue lolling out of its mouth in her left arm and her right hand is raised, gracing the viewer with the benediction of a one finger salute.

I used practicing new skills for free motion quilting as an excuse to make a dolly blanket for my 6 year old neighbor. I’m very happy with how it turned out!

A pastel crazy quilt with 4 blocks: one with blue and yellow scraps, one with blue and white ditzy florals, one in a peachy orange, and the last square in purple and green. There is pink sashing between the blocks, and the binding is also pink. The name Emmie is embroidered on the purple square, along with several small hearts.

This was my grandmother’s Christmas cactus. When she passed in 1987, my mom took it and I inherited it about 15 years later. It blooms on special occasions, like the day my son was born and my wedding anniversary. It brings me joy and memories!

A many-tentacled Christmas cactus fills the bottom left of the photo. The plant is sitting in a large window, sharing space with several antique blue-green bottles. The center of the photo showcases a dark pink cactus bloom. There is a smaller pink bud in the bottom right corner.

I’m not going to be able to make it to the No Kings protest this afternoon, but I’m still making my sign.

The image shows the draft of a protest sign for the March 28, 2026 No Kings Protest. The top left has 2 money bags with “Tax the Rich?” with an image of an open mouth. The top right says “Eat the Rich?” The bottom says “let the Billionaires decide their fate…”

Dark tabby kitty with white throat, belly, and paws, curled in a crescent roll shape on a red pillow. My hand is giving a gentle belly rub. Her front paw rests on my hand, acknowledging that the belly rub is accepted—for now.

#BirdOfTheDay is any bird with grey in their plumage. Here’s my offering, a mourning dove sitting on her nest. A wee baby peeks out from under her breast.

I don’t ordinarily post pics of my backside, but somekitty snuggled under the covers with my yesterday, and that deserves an exception.

A grey tabby cat with a white face peeks up at the camera from her spot deep under the white sheets of a bed. She is snuggled up against a red, pink, and white floral nightgown.

So, I forgot my fork for lunch yesterday. But you know what I *didn’t* forget? My crochet stuff!

A dish of macaroni and cheese with corn, black beans, and red peppers. Above the dish hovers a hand holding a pair of crochet hooks as chopsticks.

Thank you! I did indeed need that. In return, here is a fluffed-up lil Texas mockingbird weathering the cold yesterday.

The tail end of a fluffed up mockingbird faces the camera as the bird faces to the right. It is perched on a granite boulder. The boulder and surrounding trees are covered in a heavy dusting of sleet.

Sexy feet pic! Any funds raised from this will go to support her catnip addiction and our local no-kill animal shelter.

My fam has a long history of serving in the military, all the way back to serving under Gen George Washington. We fight kings, we fight tyrants, we fight fascists. I stand with the original antifa.

I’m fighting fascism with joy today. Can’t face the news, so I’m looking within. I’ll focus on my art—working on a quilt for my great-nephew and a crochet sweater for my sister I will play with the dog and nap with the cat in my lap. I will cook for people I love.

Mine is a medium dog who shines with joy when he is de-fluffing one of his stuffies. The inconvenience is when I then have to spend 36 minutes picking up all the fluff that turned the living room into a winter wonderland.

Lean into it. Wear a shirt or cap that screams your position, like the one I’m wearing today:

Phoebe is training the foster kittens in the proper technique of squirrel watching. As Head Cat, she understands the importance of teaching the young ones to keep an eye on Those Damn Squirrels. #caturday

Texas Hill Country sunset at my favorite place on earth. The ground is still saturated from the July 4 flooding rains, but the grass is a shade of green rarely seen in August.

I missed #caturday so here’s Phoebe. She is not late for last week, nor early for this weekend. She is perfectly on time, as she is perfect in all other ways. Here she is begrudgingly sharing her tower nest with an impertinent foster kitten named Ham. He is unbothered by his impertinence.

Phoebe, a dark grey tabby with white face and feet, lays in a soft grey fuzzy nest atop a cat tower. Her ears are lowered slightly to show resigned annoyance at the two month old light grey tabby kitten also laying in the nest. The kitten Ham has his back half laying on top of Phoebe’s back legs, and he is staring into the camera as if to say, “See? She doesn’t mind!” But Reader, she does, in fact, mind.

Hi from the other end of TX21! I posted elsewhere that they packed and cracked our blue votes by taking a sliver from each of the densely populated cities of Austin and San Antonio and a wide swath of red rural Texas to guarantee Roy’s seat.

…and bunnies, and very nice mushrooms. As close to touching grass as one can get, digitally speaking, and a needed respite between the doom of national and geopolitical news. Here’s my contribution:

I support my trans and queer brothers and sisters every day. They are in danger, and shouldn’t be. We need to fight back. Celebrating Pride Month is a small but important first step.

Just over a month ago, we, too, lost our beloved doggo Atlas to canine lymphoma. It hit fast and hard, less than 2 weeks between diagnosis and crossing the rainbow bridge. My heart is with you. 💔
