Embers report

It has been a few days now of not much wanting to be on social media, not even here. But this morning is brighter, and there are things to write about besides politics. Embers has been not eating her kibble, and it's beginning to show. She seems to be telling me she's hungry with the meow of My Dish Is Not Full! but when the dish is full. She only eats kibble, turns away from canned or fresh food, and disdains treats. We reached near the bottom of the bag, so I thought maybe it's turned stale...... Sign in to see full entry.

Quiet Friday

as we take a moment to consider those who put their lives on the line to protect and defend what America has just voted away. Sign in to see full entry.

And then, the day after...

Calming down here, since last night when it became apparent that America has lost this election. It's not a terribly bad thing, though, that certain Powers and many voters have had a severe reality check, not the least of which is to have to look straight at how half this nation is venal, fearful, angry, and ignorant enough to ignore all the blatant evil out of Trump's own mouth and other proofs that he is simply unfit for this job. I said recently elsewhere, Reality offers us opportunities to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Day Before the Day After

I managed to spend most of the day busy running here and there, paying no attention whatever to election stuff. Voting early avoids lines and hassles. Now I am home again, and ready to brave the early results, but it's too early, the polls don't close on the east coast for another hour and a half, no point in trying to find out anything. Anyway, we still won't know before tomorrow, and maybe not then if results are contested. I would say, Hooray, it's almost over! but this time it may not be... Sign in to see full entry.

Sun and wind and suspense...

and the last leaves are losing their grip on the branches of the maple, and most other trees around here. Tonight we're going to see A GAME OF LOVE AND CHANCE, a romantic comedy from the mid-1700s. Charlie worked on the set, so he gets in free, and I subscribed this year, so I am covered, too. Of course I will let you know how it goes! I like comedy, even dark comedy, but not so much suspense. There is a lot of that floating around as Election Day looms. I plan to do some serious canned-goods... Sign in to see full entry.

November sunrise

The sunrise lit the tree tops across the street from my place. and if you look closely in the shot with Pike's Peak you might also see Garden of the Gods on the right--first time since the spring leaves came out that I can see it from here! https://www.flickr.com/gp/therovingeye/gww47Q Sign in to see full entry.

The No-Traps Option

At some point yesterday, Embers began her Mouse Watch. Through the day, through the night it persisted with only an occasional visit to the bed to say hello and walk over my prone self with her pointy little feet... Usually, she sleeps there, usually near the foot of the bed, sometimes behind the bend of my knees. In fact, she spends much of the day there, as well. But she is The Huntress now, and does not know sleep. About 4:30, as I was creaking awake too early and age-achey, she arrived on... Sign in to see full entry.

The Fire Thieves' Studio

That's the name of Charlie's props shop, and he's just added a selection of his craftings to the DressUp Box, and here's a photo of it. Here's also my new collection of blown-glass. I like to drink from this kind of hand-crafted glassware, and have been considering buying a few pieces of this collection that was over at Willowstone, where my DressUp Box is. Then, when I had time to look again, I found all the pieces marked down to $1 each, and promptly made them mine. They look quite nice in the... Sign in to see full entry.

All Hallows' Eve...

After a blustery night, about half the leaves are down from the maple tree, and I can see Pike's Peak again through the branches. Meanwhile, Embers has been keeping watch in the kitchen, staring at the gap under the stove. Last night I saw a mouse dash across the counter and jump down through the cold burner into the stove. I lifted the lid and filled the pan below the burners with water--It needed cleaning anyway! Mousie had gone down the vent, and did not reappear, but was probably not going...
