Getting our chimney removed next week before it tumbles and ruins our recently repaired slate roof. Last major project of the year.

Is Joe Biden a sacrificial lamb?

Where is Kamala?

I've been really missing my grandparents lately. When Salvatore died and we went to the church for the funeral mass I wept like a baby, it was the first time I had been in the catholic church since they died. They played all the same music, Ave maria, let there be peace on earth, etc. It took all my strength not to run out of the church, it was like they had both just died.

I thought Joe would like this since he woofs all the time.

Mike and I had a mouse infestation, I successfully sealed up where they were coming in and thankfully never ended up catching one in the mouse electrocution chamber. I did use this parsnip tail to scare Mike though. it was my first time roasting root vegetables, I always thought I hated beats until I had them roasted and now I love them.

I know this doesn't seem like much but a lot of time and thought and dollars went into these windows. I'm so happy to finally have them, they let in light, keep out the cold wind, squirrelly mice and terrifying killers.

it's so pretty, I'm so torn about selling the tree.
