Misfits and activity of the day

Today's activity, already done, though my Moc is always active on LGBT+ issues, do my comment was just a thank you.

I got responses from DEP and the HOA on the dead goose, so I think they're all on it and I've done my part. I also posted on Spoutible to alert members in the region.

I don't plan on walking up there today, heavy rain, so I'll leave it to the ptb to do their job.

And for the people north of us who were glumly looking at snow and ice while I was loafing on the deck in the sunshine, here's now

Snow and sleet 

Turning in a few minutes to

Rameer is up today, for Misfits, they tell me. It's a miserable day for delivery driving, rain all day, then snow.




And here's this week's harvest. The two containers of baby bellas, favorite mushroom, wiped and sliced,  made a dozen containers for the freezer, in amounts each right for one recipe. 

Envy apples again, they're really good,  next week it's those tiny ones again. Panko because I bread a lot of stuff, including the special treat shrimp you see here. Raisins this week because dried cranberries were too $$, beautiful yellow potatoes which I'll parboil ready for roasted dice, couple of cans for the food pantry, most recent donation large, so a bit less this week. 

One container of blueberries because I have all those strawberries in the freezer. Fruit shakes are a thing at the moment chez Boud. Spring mix great for instant salad, and tuna for tuna melt with some of the cheese supply I always seem to have. A single loaf because baguettes are happening tomorrow.


My food plans. I did order milk powder online. That and tea are pretty much all I order other than from Misfits, and I seem to do fine. 

The Interview With a Crone went well, though A's eyes stood out a time or two at some of the information I gave her. I think she hadn't realized her neighbor was a Crone of All Trades, and had done a thing or two. 

At one point she asked a question about "your life up to now" and I loved her for it. She indicated I'm still going!  Often young people tend to assume older people have stopped doing anything, just waiting quietly for the end! Not surprising considering I was already old when my 16 year old interviewer was born, but she didn't go there.

It was a good session, across cultures and ages and experiences, very glad to be invited.

Happy day everyone, be glad if you don't have a delivery shift, getting wet then snowed on every few minutes all day.  I'm going to send special thanks to Rameer, still doing a good job in miserable weather.


Lucky us, warm and dry sez Ted and Big Ursy and Pony.

Daily activism, saving the landfill, bergamot boxes

Wednesday morning I realized voting is on soon for renewed funding for a lot of things including Homeland Security which contains ICE.  I messaged both senators to urge them to work to defund and abolish HS, ICE included.

The day's walk took me past this dumpster with useful stuff I don't need. 


I put it up on Freecycle with directions on how to find it. There are more items than you see, evidently someone unenlightened, moving out, who isn't considering the optics, or the options.

Tuesday  when I wrote my post I was a bit tired,  full day, and plenty of material already, so I postponed the usual account of the subjects the knitting group ranged over.

Catching up: growing cotton, using whistles, local charity shop, downed trees in storm, Christmas markets, gluhwein, poutine, pelvic floor health, Korean churches, spinning wheels, soft toys, cars, creative playthings, large boxes, artefact restoration, lost violins and more. 

And here's the bergamot boxes 


The one on the left cracked as I was taking it off the glass, but I can repair it when I do the finishing. These are more brittle than the lemons were. I can maybe match the outer ones as one box, the inner ones as another. There was a gust of scent when I took them off the glasses, lovely.

Happy day everyone, say all the things! She does anyway, sez Ted and Big Ursy
