My few figs have been falling before they ripen ☹️. And my mulberries are in fruit again, which is terrifying because there are still 4 huge bags in the freezer. So I picked & trimmed the green figs & the ripe mulberries & made 1 perfect jar of green fig & mulberry jam.

A jar of jam is being held in an oven mitt. You can see lots of fig and mulberry seeds in it. It’s a rich wine color.

No cheating. Post your lock screen! Kaylee, our younger cat:

The face of a tortoiseshell cat looks up at you from a phone lock screen. There’s an uneven black stripe down her nose. Her eyes are bright orange.

Here is one of our cats, Kaylee, who’s keeping me cozily back in bed this morning instead of getting on the exercise bike 😅

Anyway here’s a mulberry pie I made last week. It isn’t gorgeous but it’s my first two-crust pie and OMG it was delicious.

A poor, shown from the top. The top crust has little cut out moons and stars.

Anyway here is my 88-year-old mom having a great time in the swimming pool. I ate two pieces of cake. It was a great day.

If you haven’t read MONSTER OF A LAND by @laurenhough.bsky.social yet, you need to. It’s got so much heart in it — heart that we could all use right now. It’ll help pull you together, like it has helped me, honest it will. And there’s a dog. He’s a good dog.

It’s the cover of MONSTER OF A LAND, a book by Lauren Hough. It’s got the head of a dog on it, a biggish dog, and he’s wearing sunglasses. They’re reflecting an image of a vast American two-lane highway. The dog looks rather serious but very cool.

We were lucky enough to go camping for a couple of nights in this gorgeous spot.

The view from our campsite: trees, rocky hills, distant mountains.

I feel that you need to see this stern Steller’s Jay, this plump ground squirrel, and this young ground squirrel and Steller’s Jay saying hi to each other (they sniffed each other briefly, then the Jay hopped over the squirrel & went on his way).

A chubby ground squirrel stares right at you. He wants your pizza.

Mine too. Literally eating these home-baked monsters right now, because unfortunately I listen to my gremlins

Absolutely riveted by THE WAGER, by @davidgrann.bsky.social, to the point where it’s been hard to get to sleep at night because I just want to keep reading. Absolutely recommended for anyone who likes a good sea story or survival story. Grann really brings these long-ago characters to life.

@kiturnix.bsky.social thinking of you. Thought you might like this plump California Quail and this teeny American Kestrel in my backyard in the rain.

We get minced real and vegan chorizo here, and so the solid sort confused me, until I saw this Wikipedia entry:

[Chorizo] is made in many national and regional varieties in several countries on different continents. Some of these varieties are quite different from each other, occasionally leading to confusion or disagreements over the names and identities of the products in question

You can still grab this black-light-sensitive, adult medium-sized super soft beanie for a $35 contribution to @culturalgutter.bsky.social — if you were thinking about it, get it now before I list it on Etsy for more $$ !! crowdfundr.com/perks/1Xnaf?...

Last night of Hanukkah. But it’s solstice, so we know the light will return…

Half a million people in this Facebook group. 🤔

I love my new menorah 🥰

It’s 9:30. I’ve had breakfast, fed the cats and taken my cup of tea to the guest bedroom to cuddle with a cat so yes I’m still in bed

Here’s a #SundayPixPicture I painted 33 years ago. Obviously there are many things wrong with it, but I remain fond of it. Isn’t it a nice rump? Someday I’d like to learn to paint properly though. #NSFW
