The Cat’s Palate

Inspector Gidget is ambivalent about wet catfood (she’ll only eat the gravy style with no solids) and turns up her nose at people food (even raw fresh salmon bits). I opened a tin of smoked oysters this morning and suddenly I had a cat trying to get on my lap (she doesn’t *do* laps, ever)and… Read More The Cat’s Palate

Morning Mist: Oddly Prompted

I haven’t written for a week. This is… not good.  In an attempt to at least muddle through some of my routines and commitments and regain my momentum, I’ve gone ahead with a MidJourney image for the prompt last week.  “The morning mist kissed the flower petals.” And also, a ‘remastered’ version of the initial… Read More Morning Mist: Oddly Prompted

My idea of Fun

New place, new critters and plants. There’s people and conversations too, but the time to wander quietly was a welcome moment. Nothing to worry about, nothing tugging at my conscience to get done. Just me and whatever I can find. Pogonomyrmex rugosus, the Rough Harvester Ant, doing a bit of housekeeping before winter sets in.

Books, books, books

I’m going to be out of pocket this weekend. I’ll leave you with some reading material recommendations, so you’ll have something to keep you busy (heh).  Also, these are people I know, writing good stuff, and you might have missed the new releases they have!  First order of business! Fantasy Treehouse Art & Architecture releases… Read More Books, books, books

Wing wing… hewwo?

The Little Man made dinner tonight. Well. He had some help. The problem isn’t that he can’t cook. Rather the opposite. He’s an ambitious cook with a fair amount of training, not just from me, but taking cooking classes. He lacks the experience to know where his limits are, so he’ll bite off more than… Read More Wing wing… hewwo?

Chatty Today

*flexes fingers a few times* Hits the keyboard, hands flying.  I’ve been an erratic blogger. Yes, Cedar, you’re thinking, you’ve been like that for… (checks blog date) sixteen years now.  I don’t mean that kind of erratic! I mean the kind that doesn’t post on the regular, which means that readers stop coming to see… Read More Chatty Today

Drawing Prompts

Every year in October, I take part in the global phenomenon where artists draw every day. Unlike the majority, for copyright issues, I no longer call this by the name the movement started out with, and out of an excess of caution, I also don’t use the prompts lest there be an IP issue with… Read More Drawing Prompts

Fantasy Treehouse Art & Architecture

A month or more ago I had a wild hare. This is the result of chasing that bunny down the hole and falling through another world…  This is an art book with black and white interior so it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. The paper version is formatted for ease of page removal,… Read More Fantasy Treehouse Art & Architecture

Filed Under Funny

You know you’re a grown-up when you get excited about filing cabinets.  When we were in Ohio, I had two very heavy and nice filing cabinets, wood, executive level quality. Man, they weighed a ton! And I had a four-drawer steel filing cabinet. One that predated WWII and was made of a thickness of steel… Read More Filed Under Funny
